Israel–The Israeli startup scene is growing in strength, and the rest of the world is taking note. In 2021, Israeli startup financing exceeded records, and according to NoCamels, Israel now have more unicorns, or privately held firms valued at $1 billion, than any other European country.
Israeli firms are among the 10 hottest startups from Tel Aviv, according to Wired magazine, which focuses on how technology and innovation affect politics, economy, and society. “Year after year, Tel Aviv’s startup community has demonstrated that it can achieve more than whole countries within its 52km2 thanks to investment in world-class research facilities, powerful government support, and an ever-reliable influx of funding,” writes Wired UK contributor Allyssia Alleyne.
The 10 Israeli startups that Wired identified as ones to watch out for are listed below:

Make an investment in Israeli technology
Israel’s IT industry leads the globe in terms of innovation, commercial, social, and environmental solutions. Many of these startups may choose to remain private, be acquired by a larger corporation, or go public on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Several of them establish offices in the United States and list on the New York Stock Exchange. ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are one of the greatest methods to invest in Israeli technology since they allow investors to diversify their risk and acquire exposure to multiple sectors.
