Energy Tech Market Data and Trends
Israel’s energy tech sector is growing steadily. There are currently over 350 active tech companies in Israel developing energy tech solutions, growing by nearly 60% over the past decade. Since the beginning of 2024, 28 new companies have been founded.
The landscape includes companies for which Energy Tech is a core focus as well as companies that apply energy-related technologies as a key use case within broader domains, such as agri tech, industrial technologies, and automotive innovation. This growing convergence of sectors highlights the depth and versatility of Israel’s tech ecosystem and its ability to drive transformative innovation across the energy value chain.
Signs of Maturity Amid Startup Momentum
While early-stage companies still represent the majority, the data also points to a level of maturity within the ecosystem. Over one-third of companies (35%) have reached advanced stages classified as mature, public, or acquired. This indicates that many ventures are not only surviving the early growth phase but are successfully scaling, securing exits, or sustaining long-term operations. At the same time, the strong presence of early and late growth companies (65%) reflects a healthy pipeline of innovation, poised to feed the next generation of mature players.
The coexistence of both early momentum and established maturity highlights a balanced ecosystem that offers opportunities for immediate partnership and investment, while still holding long-term growth potential
Private Funding Retains Sector Resilience
From 2014 to 2023, Energy Tech startup funding consistently stayed ahead of overall ecosystem funding trends—capturing a larger share of private investment during growth years and experiencing smaller declines in downturns.
This reflected greater year-over-year stability and resilience. However, 2024 marked the first year Energy Tech funding trailed the broader ecosystem’s recovery. Funding in the first half of 2025 is already approaching nearly half the levels seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting early signs of a potential recovery though it remains too early to confirm a sustained shift
