TEL AVIV TECH | ECOSYSTEM REPORT

Dear Partners, The annual Tel Aviv tech report tells the story of the Tel Aviv tech ecosystem and illustrates, even during this challenging period, the strength and signiɭcance of the industry within our city. And yet, despite the achievements outlined in these pages, we simply cannot take our success for granted. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace,

and the competition for talent and capital is only getting stronger. The tech ecosystem constitutes a signiɭcant economic growth engine for the state, the city, and its residents, and creates the social and civic resilience that are indispensable. Now more than ever, the Tel Aviv Municipality has made active support of this critical growth infrastructure a top priority. ‘Tel Aviv Tech’ is an economic development unit of the Tel Aviv Municipality, operated by Tel Aviv Global and Tourism, focused on providing comprehensive support to the local tech ecosystem, strengthening the city through global connectivity, and creating collaborative opportunities for improving the quality of life for all Tel Aviv residents. The team works directly with various stakeholders - from homegrown startups to mega multinationals that have chosen to operate from Tel Aviv, as well as investors, international partners, and municipal agencies and decision-makers to ensure that Tel Aviv provides best-in-class services and resources for growing companies, and together maintaining Tel Aviv as a world-leading hub of innovation. I am proud to present this report to you now – a window into the power and fortitude of the Tel Aviv tech community, the tremendous scale of its global contribution, and a vote of conɭdence in its continued success.

Sincerely yours, Sharon Landes-Fischer CEO, Tel Aviv Global & Tourism
