M&A in Israel toward 2026: invest wisely
Arnon, Tadmor-Levy
Description
For almost three decades, Israel has been a global hub for technological innovation, breakthrough business models and super-skilled manpower — consistently attracting buyers and investors from around the world. Investing in Israel has proven highly rewarding, with hundreds of local companies growing, merging, going public or being acquired each year — delivering strong returns for investors and strategic value for acquirers.
While the past two years have posed significant challenges, including political instability and regional conflict, the road ahead looks stable, secure, and full of opportunity.
Arnon is one of Israel’s largest and most prominent law firms in the M&A space, having played a central role in many of the country’s most high-profile and complex transactions.
Join our experts for a concise overview of the key investment opportunities emerging in Israel today, as well as pointers and pitfalls of doing deals in Israel.
The webinar will focus mainly on:
- Despite the ongoing military conflict, the Israeli stock market has surged – outperforming all other markets -- and Israeli tech is flourishing. How can we explain that, and what industries offer the best opportunities to investors? [Hint, not just defense industries. . .]
- Doing acquisitions in Israel “look and feel” like doing M&A deals in the States, but with some important differences: what should an US or European lawyer be wary of when acquiring or investing in Israeli companies?
