The Real Story Behind Israel’s $110B Tech Activity ft. Yariv Lotan and Hila Shitrit Nissim of SNC

Israel’s tech ecosystem is going through a shift.

Early stage startups are finding it harder to raise. Investors are focusing on stronger companies with real traction. Sectors outside AI and cyber are feeling that pressure more than others.

At the same time, global demand for Israeli technology remains strong. Companies from around the world are still coming to Israel to find talent, partnerships, and new solutions.

In this conversation, Yariv Lotan and Hila Shitrit Nissim from ⁨@startupnationcentral⁩ share what they are seeing across the ecosystem.

From funding dynamics to sector trends, to how global perception and local resilience are shaping what comes next, this is a closer look at where Israeli tech stands today and where it is heading.
