This document describes the Israel FinTech landscape, approaching the analysis from a FinTech, regulatory, Investment and talent standpoint.
This document serves as a snapshot of the key pillars of a FinTech ecosystem in a country and provides a good overall view of the state of FinTech at a glance.
Israel has a strong culture of innovation bolstered by government support and a highly educated workforce. The country has the largest number of startups per capita in the world, around 1 startup for every 1,400 people. Some of these startups have gone on to be high-profile exits, including Waze, which sold for $1.3 billion, and Mobileye for $15.3 billion. The technology education imparted in army units has helped nurture entrepreneurs in the country.
Key Findings:
- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) provides potential entrepreneurs with the opportunity to develop a wide array of skills as well as a network.
- The Bank of Israel’s initiatives such as simplifying the process of establishing a new bank, creating an API standard for open banking, and creating the Central Credit Register are aimed to increase competition in the financial services industry.
- As of August 28, 2018, Israel hosts 426 FinTechs, operating in diverse areas including payments, trading and investing, lending and financing, anti-fraud and insurance, with concentration in payment and trading and investing. There is a shift in the start-up business model in the recent years as more and more companies are planning to partner/collaborate with banks.
- Israeli FinTechs are also often born with a global mindset at the start – due to the small domestic market and concentrated nature of the local banking sector. This international-first mindset is often attractive to multinational investors.
- Global and local financial service providers have partnered with startups through incubation and acceleration. Citibank and Barclays set up their innovation centers in 2011. In March 2018, Deutsche Bank also announced plan to establish its technology center.
- In April 2018, insurance company Menorah Mivtachim became a strategic partner with IBM accelerator Alpha Zone, and is selecting advance-stage Israeli insurtech startups for a 20-week acceleration program.
- Israeli tech startups have been attracting investment from local and global investors alike. In the first six months of 2018 more than $400 million was raised in 45 deals, exceeding previous half-year investments by 33% and 45%, respectively. International attention is increasing as international investors participated in 73%of investment deals in the first half of 2018, up from 66% in 2017, and 60% from 2016.
- The Israeli government provides financial support for tech companies through grants offered by the Israel Innovation Authority. In July 2017, the Israeli Ministry of Finance announced a tender for up to four government-backed technology growth funds.
Technologies has been disrupting traditional industries at an ever-increasing pace and now the pandemic has basically put these changes into hyper-speed.
The current pandemic has been, to say the least, grim for business. Yet during this crisis, some companies been thriving because of dramatic shifts in consumer behaviour

According to the website Investopedia, venture capital is a kind of private equity funding that is given by investors to new enterprises and small businesses that the investors feel have the potential for long-term development. In general, it is derived from wealthy investors, investment banks, and many other financial entities.
“I&P Développement” is raising more than EUR 30 million to launch its new impact investment strategy for African entrepreneurship
I&P Développement (IPDEV), a successful ten-year old social venture capital company investing in small and middle size businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa, is raising:
- EUR 25 million in equity and other instruments to launch its new strategy,
- EUR 7 million of grant funding to set up a Technical Assistance Fund.
IPDEV’s new “intermediation strategy” leverages a solid financial and social track record. It aims to establish a network of 10 in-country venture capital vehicles that will target “the missing middle,” i.e., the high-potential and yet grossly underserved segment of Small Growing Businesses (SGBs) with needs between EUR 30,000 and 300,000.
This new and promising strategy is “Impact First” and targets strong results over 15 years:
Development of 550 companies in the formal economy with 1/3 of them being startups
Creation and preservation of around 14.000 formal permanent jobs
Building of an African venture capital industry with 10 sustainable African investment teams
Improvement of environmental, social and governance standards and practices in African enterprises
More companies addressing directly the challenge of clean and efficient energy as well as basic services (health, water, sanitation, education…)
Financial returns will ensure the preservation of investment capital in the long run.
This SlideShare provides a brief overview of what are Sovereign Wealth Funds, classifications, and top SWFs globally. In recent years SWFs have shown interest in VC-backed deals, with a growing trend in technology and life sciences. SWFs can be a force for positive change: the amount of money in an SWF is usually substantial, allowing them to contribute towards a country’s long-term growth by means of long-term investments in life sciences innovations.

איך צומח מותג בעידן שללקוח לא אכפת אם המותג יעלם גיל הורסקיGil Horsky
בטור דעה שכתב גיל הורסקי לאתר התקשורת "אייס", הוא התייחס לכללים הכי חשובים בצמיחת מותגים בעידן של היום.
העידן של היום, ע"פ הורסקי, הוא עידן שבו אנשים צורכים מותגים מתוך הרגל מסוים ולא מתוך מחויבות למותג עצמו.
צרכנים עוברים משימוש במותג אחד לשימוש במותג אחר מתוך שיקול של זמינות, מה זמין להם יותר באותו הרגע.
הורסקי, העוסק בפיתוח ושיווק מוצרי שוקולד ברחבי העולם מחברת "מונדלייז", מסביר כי העובדה שהצרכן מעוניין ב"יחסים" עם המותג הוא לא יותר מאשר מיתוס נפוץ בקרב אנשי שיווק. למעשה, לצרכנים כלל לא אכפת גם אם יותר מ-90% מהמותגים ייעלמו מעל פני העולם.
כיום תעשיית השיווק בהחלט מוכנה לקפיצה משמעותית בתחום השיווק מבוסס נתונים, תוך גיבוש כללים לצמיחת מותגים 2.0 – אותם מסביר הורסקי בטור הדעה בצורה עניינית ומפורטת.

מדי שבוע אתר "המזבלה" וקהילת "מנהלי שיווק מצייצים" מציגים את אנשי השיווק של החברות והמותגים מהמוכרים והמובילים במשק הישראלי. והפעם – גיל הורסקי.
גיל הורסקי מספר כי מגיל צעיר מאוד התעניין להבין איך מוצרים עובדים – איך הם בנויים, מה הפונקציות שלהם ואיך הם מעוצבים.
"שיווק דיגיטלי עבורי הוא עולם ומלואו, בו כל מנהל שיווק חייב לעבוד ולחשוב בשפה ובכלים של השיווק הדיגיטלי. כדי להיות מנהל שיווק טוב צריך להיות סופרמן – להיות איש אסטרטגיה טוב, להיות ביצועיסט, להיות יצירתי ולהיות גם אנליטי", מתאר הורסקי לאתר "מזבלה".
גיל הורסקי הוא מומחה בינלאומי לשיווק וחדשנות בשוק מוצרי הצריכה ובשנים האחרונות עובד בפיתוח ושיווק של מוצרי שוקולד חדשניים עבור חברת השוקולד הגדולה בעולם – "מונדליז".

גיל הורסקי על החדשנות של מילקה וטוברלרוןGil Horsky
בעיתון ‘מזון פלוס’ פורסם ראיון עם גיל הורסקי, מנהל החדשנות הגלובלית בתחום השוקולד בחברת מונדלז, שמייצרת ומשווקת את המותגים של מילקה, טובלרון, קדבורי ואוריאו. בראיון גיל הורסקי סיפר על הצורך לזהות את הטרנדים בתחום החדשנות הרבה לפני שהם מתרחשים ולתרגם זאת למוצרים. במהלך הראיון סיפר גיל הורסקי על אחת המגמות בשנים האחרונות – פרסונליזציה של המוצרים המנגישה אותם לצרכנים, שהובילה להקמת פלטפורמה אינטרנטית ליצירת השוקולד של Cadbury בעטיפה אישית.
כמו כן, עדכן גיל על הכניסה לאחרונה של שוקולד מילקה לשוק הסיני, ולבסוף פרש את המגמות הצרכניות הבולטות ב-2017 ונתן טיפים ליצרנים ישראלים המעוניינים להתפתח לשווקים זרים.
העתיד של הפרסנוליזציה והתאמה אישית במוצרי צריכהGil Horsky
בין אם מדובר בקוסטומיזציה או פרסונליזציה, מותגים בשווקים שונים יכולים להשתמש בצורך האדם לביטוי עצמי: בין אם הם משתמשים בו לצורכי קמפיין פרסומי או להצעת בחירות חדשות בחיים, זה ברור שהטרנד נמצא בחיתוליו וימשיך לגדול בהתאם לעלייה בכמות שיתוף המידע האישי שמשתמשים מפרסמים באינטרנט.
איך להפוך מותג פשוט למותג יוקרה: 3 טיפים להצלחהGil Horsky
מותגים רבים שמנסים להפוך את המותג שלהם ליוקרתי יותר מגלים שמתיכת המותג שלהם מעלה בדרך אותנטית וברת קיימא הוא תהליך מאתגר משציפו. מציאת נקודת ההשקה בין שני דרישות השווקים הללו מצריכה מגע קסם מצד מנהלי המותג והשיווק. הנה שלושה צעדי מפתח שיאפשרו למותגים להפוך את פורטפוליו המוצרים שלהם ליותר יוקרתי
עיצוב אריזה גלוקאלית: לאזן בין השאיפה לגלובליות לצורך ברלוונטיות לוקאליתGil Horsky
השאיפה של תאגידים בינלאומיים וצוותי השיווק שלהם להניע את מכירות, אריזות ועיצובים בין שווקים ואזורים גיאוגרפים שונים – היא ברורה. הדבר מאפשר להם לנוע בקלות משוק אחד לאחר ובכך להאיץ את השוק, להגדיל את נפח הייצור ולייעל את מאמצי השיווק.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

strategic partners including Sadot Kibbutzim, a co-op bringing together more than 185 Kibbutzim with an
agricultural output of over $3 billion exported to over 100 countries. The Kibbutzim also offer the fund’s portfolio
proprietary access to agricultural land, production capabilities and expertise for initial proof of concept.
Some of FLORA’s other anchor investors in this first closing are leading Family Offices and Haifa Group, a world
leader in plant nutrition and special fertilizers, and Harel Group, Israel’s largest insurance and finance group with
more than $100 billion assets under management (AUM).
Horsky is a former Mondelēz executive, corporate venture investor, and leading figure in the global agrifood
ecosystem. Barak-Landes is a co-founder of Nielsen’s incubator and investment arm.
Horsky and Barak-Landes said the inflection point of Covid-19, Ukraine war, and the climate crisis underscored
the urgency for investments in agrifood.

“I’ve been fortunate in my career to lead important VC deals in the retailtech, fintech, and Digital Transformation
sectors, which enables me to reapply proven technologies and business models to the agrifood industry where it
is greatly needed,” said Barak-Landes. “I am excited to bring my skills to finding and fueling startups from Israel
and Europe that are good for people and kind to the planet, while helping to build the next generation of agrifood
unicorns.”
“Working for leading food multinationals, as well as co-founding one of the industry’s most successful corporate
venture capital (CVC) and incubation initiatives in Mondelēz, taught me the value of having design partners early
on. That’s why we are excited that FLORA can provide our startups proprietary access to Haifa Group, Sadot
Kibbutzim and Harel Group, which are among the most innovative and agile design partners in the industry,” said
Horsky.
FLORA Ventures already completed its first investment in Arrakis Bio, a stealth-mode Israeli startup developing
technology for the production and utilization of human collagen and gelatin, that is animal free, high quality, and
pure.
