Israel is one of the world's leading ecosystems for ClimateTech startups. In this sector, the focus increasingly lies on EnergyTech, in addition to the traditional strengths in Cyber Security, Fin-Tech and Digitalization. However, on account of the small home market, use cases and support for scaling the technologies are needed. Therefore, Germany, with its political framework for- and social acceptance of renewables, represents an interesting target market for Israelis. In the shape of the German Israeli Energy Partnership, a political agreement is already in place, which signals the importance of the cooperation and can provide a basis for collaboration. In this context, the commercialization strengths of German companies on the one hand and the demand-driven scaling potential of the German market on the other hand, offer opportunities for the application of innovative technologies of Israeli startups for a successful energy transition. Looking at the innovation needs for the energy transition in Germany (including storage technologies, energy efficiency, renewable energy generation, smart grids), there are short- and mediumterm opportunities for cooperation. Special potential can be found in the application of technologies from Israeli startups in the fields of Cyber Security, Digitalization and FinTech, thus ensuring the secure and smart integration of the energy system, as well as its maintenance. In addition, Israeli startups are increasingly working on energy generation and storage technologies. Waste2X technologies, hydrogen generation, storage and transport, and combined heating&cooling approaches are particularly noteworthy.
