Israeli startup landscape maps – 2022 Q1 edition

The most comprehensive collection of Israeli startup maps, last updated March 2022. Includes Israeli innovation in a diverse range of sectors: Metaverse, digital health, fintech, climate tech, real estate tech and more.

As you may already know, I’ve always been a fan of startup landscapes. The landscape’s visual representation is a way to quickly get a sense of the space. For previous editions, check out these posts from July 2021,  July 2020 and May 2019.

This edition includes maps of Israeli startups building the Metaverse, Insurtech, Martitime tech, Proptech and Contech, Digital Health, Smart Logistics and Supply Chain, Sports Tech and ecommerce.

Our team at Remagine ventures created the first landscape of Israeli startups building the Metaverse.

Israeli semiconductors

Cardumen Capital put this handy startup landscape showcasing Israeli startups in the semiconductor space – from AI chips to sensing and photonics, Israel continues to be a powerhouse in this space, albeit with a lower number of new companies.

Israel has always been and remains a hotspot for large, established semiconductor companies. However, semiconductor startups over the past few years have not been thriving relative to startups in other fields… Over the past 3 years, there have only been 30 new semiconductor companies created in Israel. That is only 1.6% of the total 1827 new startups in Israel from 2019 to 2021.
