Reports

The report presents an updated mapping of Israel’s bioconvergence ecosystem, comprising 188 companies operating across diverse application areas—medicine, food, agriculture, industry, environment, and energy—illustrating the field’s expansion beyond health applications. In addition, the report highlights Israel’s international engagement in the bioconvergence arena.

Climate change and global environmental challenges require the development of innovative and sustainable solutions that comprehensively address both mitigation of negative impacts and adaptation to evolving environmental conditions. This report focuses on the concept of bioconvergence – a multidisciplinary domain that integrates biology with engineering and computational technologies – and examines its potential to address these challenges.

Local uncertainty and geopolitical tensions characterized 2024, which was a challenging year for technology companies in Israel. Nevertheless, the Israeli ecosystem demonstrated resilience and even growth, partly driven by progress in the field of Bio-Convergence.
