Israel: 165 Pioneering Innovation Companies

Startup Nation Central, in collaboration with Ignite the Spark and the Israel Export Institute, has unveiled the 2025 Energy Tech Landscape Map, offering a deep view into Israel’s rapidly expanding energy technology sector. The map features 165 leading companies developing impactful solutions across energy generation, storage, grid infrastructure, carbon capture, etc.

With over 350 active companies and more than $400 million raised in the past year alone, Israel’s energy tech ecosystem reflects strong sectoral growth and rising global relevance. This year’s landscape segments innovation into eight core subsectors, including hydrogen, CCUS, OT cybersecurity, and waste-to-X technologies, highlighting the diversity of solutions emerging from Israel to support the global energy transition.

The map is designed to support global partners, investors, and policymakers in identifying scalable solutions and sector trends. It includes both core energy tech players and adjacent companies from industrial tech, agritech, and automotive that integrate energy innovations.

The release of the landscape map accompanies a broader analysis of global energy trends, from the scaling of battery systems and the growing nexus between AI and data centers, to geopolitical realignment reshaping supply chains and investment flows. Energy-as-a-Service, long-duration storage, and decentralized power models are gaining ground globally and are well represented within Israel’s innovation landscape.

Notable, 35% of companies in the energy tech landscape are already classified as mature, public, or acquired, showing tangible sector maturity. At the same time, early-stage growth remains strong, with 26 new companies founded since early 2024. The result is a healthy, balanced pipeline supporting both near-term collaboration and long-term opportunity.

Private investment in energy tech has demonstrated consistent resilience over the last decade. While 2024 saw a relative dip, early 2025 data suggests a potential rebound, with funding already nearing half of 2023 and 2024 levels.
