The startup nation has done it again! 👏🏼 Google for Startups just announced the first cohort of its Growth Academy: AI for GovTech, with 25 companies that leverage AI to assist governments and improve life for citizens across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. And among those selected companies, there is an Israeli startup: CargoSeer, that streamlines how customs agencies check international cargo shipments using AI. I’m humbled to see founders who bring fresh solutions to the complex problems societies have been trying to solve for years and even decades. And so proud of how Google& Google for Startups Israel supports the ecosystem and helps innovative startups make a real difference in the world!

We have been mapping the Israeli Generative AI landscape since ChatGPT came out more or less. In the latest version, published on Thursday, we've mapped 342 startups that collective raised over $20 billion. More than half of the new companies we've added this year possess agentic AI capabilities. Can Israeli startups compete globally in Generative AI? Absolutely. 🇮🇱 Israel is emerging as a global GenAI hub, with the highest AI talent concentration (Stanford 2024) and a culture of deep tech innovation. 📈 The number of GenAI startups has nearly doubled in a year 🔐 The categories that saw the most growth this year were cyber and healthcare, followed by LLM ops and marketing tools 💡 Global VCs (like Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital and Insight Partners) are doubling down on elite Israeli talent, while global R&D centres including NVIDIA are planning multi billion expansion plans in Israel. ⚙️ Despite global headwinds, the Israeli startup ecosystem is proving resilient, resourceful, and opportunity-driven—especially in tackling GenAI’s toughest challenges: privacy, cost, trust, and explainability. At Remagine Ventures we've made over 13 investments in GenAI startups at pre-seed are bullish on big wins ahead. Link to the landscape evolution in the first comment below 👇
