Israeli Defense M&A Analysis Launch - VIP Event
Israeli defense exports reached a record $19.2 billion in 2025, the fifth record year in a row. The question now is how Israeli companies grow to meet that demand: through production partnerships abroad, M&A, private capital and public markets.
Aurelius Capital, Frost & Sullivan and Gornitzky GNY invite the senior leadership of Israel's defense ecosystem to the launch of the Israeli Defense Market Report. Frost & Sullivan will present the key findings, followed by a closed-door discussion with industry leaders, investors and legal experts.
On the agenda
The report: key findings on the Israeli defense market and where it is heading
The global picture: defense budgets, NATO, Europe and the U.S., and the opportunities they open for Israeli companies
Deals and capital: how defense companies prepare for M&A, a funding round or an IPO, and what buyers and investors look for
Regulation: export control and defense regulation in cross-border transactions
A discussion, not a lecture: a short panel and an open roundtable, followed by networking.
