ALL THE MAJOR LIFE SCIENCES SEGMENTS ARE REPRESENTED IN ISRAEL
The Israeli life sciences industry is highly vibrant and dynamic.
This is evident in the number of companies that have been founded in the last decade, capital raised by companies in the industry, changes in the sizes of deals, and the diverse company development stages in which investments are made. The industry engages in diverse and professional research, as is evident from the extent of academic publications in the field. It benefits from commercialization companies that operate in Israel, as can be seen by the number of patent applications that they submit.
Between 2007 and 2016, the number of life science companies in Israel grew significantly reaching a total of 1351 companies.
Most life science companies (91%) were founded during that decade. Approximately 38% of the companies founded between 2014 and 2016 develop digital healthcare products.
