AI is at the center of the current industrial revolution, and its relevance is likely to increase in the coming decade. The growth of AI technologies can be seen by the investments made in this field. In 2011-2019, investments in Israel high-tech AI projects increased from 305 million dollars to 4 billion dollars. In 2019, 42% of the sum invested in Israeli high-tech was directed to AI technologies.

In recent years, Israel’s high-tech has held a leading global position in the field of AI. Israel is now among the world’s top three countries operating in the field of AI after China and the US. Israel ranks second to the US, in its number of leading AI start-ups. The significant presence of roughly 90 R&D centers of multinational corporations working on AI in Israel indicates its global leadership in this field.

4 % of these AI companies are directly involved in the Cleantech Sector. Solutions such as smart grids and energy-efficient building technologies will reduce and optimize demand.
