UAE-Israel ties: High-tech market beckons investors More maturing tech companies expected to turn to capital markets this year. Israeli high-tech market, a cynosure of global investment firms, having raised $10.2 billion in 2020 alone, offers UAE investors an opportunity to capitalise on the immense growth trends in the wake of the historic Abraham Accord. According to the IVC-Meitar Israeli Tech Review 2020, with more maturing tech companies expected to turn to capital markets this year, the market will have a greater appeal to foreign investors who far outperformed their Israeli counterparts during funding rounds and in follow-on investment in 2020. Foreign investment was also behind the vast majority of the year’s largest deals above $100 million.
