Israeli High-Tech Exports Reached $85 Billion in 2025

Israeli high-tech exports reached approximately $85 billion in 2025, accounting for 58% of all Israeli exports, according to the Innovation Authority’s report published on May 31, 2026. These are figures for 2025, not a new estimate of 2026 exports.

Fundraising and output

The report also records about $14.6 billion raised by technology companies, up 30% from 2024, and an 8.2% increase in high-tech output. Together, the figures describe the substantial role Israeli technology businesses play in international markets and the domestic economy.

Strong growth, a domestic challenge

The recovery was uneven. Total high-tech employment reached approximately 400,000, but the authority reported the first decline in domestic research-and-development employment in more than a decade. More company activity was also expanding abroad.

Measuring success at home

That distinction matters when assessing success. Exports and fundraising measure demand and capital, but do not guarantee that every job or decision-making center remains in Israel. The challenge identified is to preserve international competitiveness while translating it into local employment, research and growth. The report documents real strength alongside an unfinished domestic economic task.
