The Market
The European Union is the main trade partner of Israel. Increasing numbers of Israeli companies have been establishing a business presence in Europe — especially technology startups. Israel has earned its reputation as the startup nation, and these startups have often crossed Israel's borders.
$47+ BILLION USD IN BILATERAL TRADE
The EU is Israel's largest global trading partner. In 2025, total bilateral trade in goods exceeded $47 billion, with Israel importing over $31 billion in European goods and exporting nearly $17 billion to the EU.
1000+ COMPANIES
More than 1,000 Israeli tech companies are operating in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). These companies collectively employ over 30,000 European residents.
Building Global Connections
Global Technologies
Technology has long been a globalized industry. Israel's tech startups industry emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s and has, over the last decade, garnered attention from investors and tech giants globally. Between 2013 and 2023, investments in Israeli startups experienced a five-fold increase.
Business Investments
Europe will always be an attractive place for Israeli companies to branch out. Israel's close commercial ties with Europe are evidenced in the fact that some Israeli industries have adopted EU technical standards rather than international standards for products.
Strategic Innovation Partnerships
Friendly relations and shared goals for innovation between Israel and Europe make Israeli-European partnerships productive and valuable for both parties and the global market. At EIT Strategy we're committed to enabling you to maximize this potential.
