Israeli Tech Exits (IPO + M&A) | 2021-2024

From 2021 to 2024, the Israeli tech ecosystem experienced a dynamic landscape for exits, particularly through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation trends, which fueled growth in sectors like cybersecurity, fintech, and health tech. In 2021, Israel saw a record number of IPOs, with several companies going public on both NASDAQ and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, attracting significant investor interest. This surge was partly driven by an overall boom in technology stocks worldwide. However, fluctuating market conditions, rising inflation, and increased interest rates led to a decline in the number of IPOs in 2022 and into 2023, prompting many companies to reconsider their timing for going public.

On the M&A front, Israeli startups remained attractive targets for larger firms, especially as established tech giants sought to innovate through acquisitions. The market continued to showcase robust activity, with numerous strategic acquisitions by companies looking to integrate cutting-edge technologies into their existing platforms. Despite the slowdown in new IPOs, the M&A scene exhibited resilience, with companies leveraging buyouts as a viable exit strategy.
