Israel s cybersecurity sector continues to thrive, with investments pouring in and exports increasing, according to the Israel National Cyber Directorate, the government agency responsible for advancing the county’s cyber capabilities and ensuring national cyber defense.
The directorate reports that pre-IPO investments in domestic cybersecurity firms totaled $2.9 billion in 2020, up 70% from the previous year. Plus, there were more than 20 acquisitions of Israeli cybersecurity companies last year with a total value of $4.7 billion.
Meanwhile, Israeli exports of cybersecurity products and services hit $6.85 billion in 2020, up from $6.5 billion in 2019, according to the directorate.

The economic collaboration between Israel and the European Union has not come close to fulfilling its potential, particularly with regard to the tech sector, according to a first-of-its-kind report by the EU.
The authors of the report said European conglomerates are lagging behind their US and Chinese competitors with regard to both merger and acquisition deals and corporate investments in Israel, while VC engagement in the Israeli tech sector is low too.
Small and medium-sized European companies, which make up approximately 99.8% of all non-financial business in Europe and generate more than 50% of the EU’s gross domestic product (GDP), “are almost entirely absent” from the Israeli market, as they face “significant barriers” to being able to engage with the nation.
