Israeli start-ups in the hi-tech sector are facing challenges due to the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus outbreak. The majority of investments in Israeli hi-tech come from abroad, making the success of Israeli start-ups dependent on the global market. The lack of diversity in Israels key economic growth engine, as well as the shortage of skilled human capital, are additional threats to the sector. Venture capital funds are currently relying on money raised prior to the outbreak, and maintaining hi-tech activity is critical for the Israeli economy. The government is being urged to intervene and provide direct assistance to start-ups. Despite the investment slowdown, there may be investment opportunities from Asian investors, particularly as Asian countries recover from the pandemic. Israeli start-ups with disruptive technologies may still be able to raise funds, but negotiating power has shifted to investors.
