TEL
AVIV, Israel, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Startup Nation Central, in
collaboration with Ignite the Spark and the Israel Export
Institute, has launched the Israel Energy Tech Landscape Map
2024. This annual map showcases the Israeli energy tech ecosystem,
featuring over 160 companies at the forefront of this dynamic
sector, forming the backbone of Israel's energy tech sector, which comprises
over 300 companies in total.
Key data includes $403 million
raised in the last 12 months across 54 rounds, with 11 rounds
exceeding $10 million and the largest
round at $105 million. Approximately
60% of companies are in early stage/growth (pre-seed to Series B),
while 40% are in late stage/mature phases. Notably, 70% of these
companies were established in the last 10 years, and 10 new
companies were created in the past 12 months.
The map serves as a vital resource for global investors seeking
deal flow opportunities and for multinational corporations aiming
to discover solutions to their energy-related challenges and
decarbonization goals. By offering a detailed look into the various
subsectors, the map illustrates Israel's pioneering role in energy technology
innovation.
The map features energy tech subsectors and emerging
technologies across eight key categories: generation
(renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower),
storage (advanced energy storage systems including
electrochemical batteries, pumped hydro, and thermal storage),
behind the meter (consumer-based energy technologies such as
electric vehicles, wireless energy, and smart buildings),
transmission and distribution (technologies like digital
twin-monitored grids and microgrids), hydrogen (clean energy
carrier with applications in various sectors), OT cyber
(cybersecurity for operational technology systems), carbon
capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) (solutions for
capturing and utilizing carbon dioxide), and Waste2X
(technologies converting waste into sustainable energy
sources).
"As the world becomes increasingly restless for sustainable
energy solutions, Israel's
approach to innovation is paramount," said Alon Turkaspa, AgriFood
Tech and Climate Tech Sector Lead at Startup Nation Central.
"Israeli entrepreneurs are delivering cutting-edge solutions to
disrupt all verticals of the new energy value chain and creating a
positive impact in the global energy tech sector."
"Despite recent challenges, the energy tech sector has shown
remarkable resilience, with new startups and significant funding
rounds. This commitment to innovation and sustainability highlights
the Israeli tech spirit. The sector is now focusing on strategic
initiatives for sustainable growth and cutting-edge advancements,"
said Shon Dana, CEO of Ignite the
Spark.
"This year has tested the tech and energy tech industries, yet
our ecosystem remains resilient, driven by a commitment to push
boundaries and deliver impactful solutions. At the Israel Export
Institute, we are dedicated to promoting Israeli technologies
globally, creating business opportunities, and supporting the
growth of Israeli Energy Tech solutions in international markets,"
