DOING BUSINESS IN ISRAEL<br />

Capital Invested in Israeli Hi-Tech Companies by Israeli VC Funds, Foreign<br />

and Other Investors (%) 2001-2010<br />

In 2010, four Israeli companies made initial public offerings on the Nasdaq.<br />

These IPOs followed a two-year period (2008 and 2009) in which no Israeli<br />

company went public in the US.<br />

After two years during which the market almost completely “dried up”,<br />

relationships between issuing companies and investors have been resumed in<br />

the current year.<br />

The following graphs illustrate the amount of capital raised in the U.S. and<br />

through European public offerings by Israeli hi tech companies:<br />
