'Whether you like it or not': The Israeli VC on who's really buying Israeli tech

Yoni Heilbronn, co-founder and managing partner of IL Ventures, discussed the evolving landscape of global economics and Israeli technology in a recent podcast. He noted that the post-World War II global order and globalization are over, with events like tariffs or attacks on cargo ships rapidly repricing industries. Despite public statements from European officials, purchase orders for Israeli companies continue to arrive. Heilbronn believes the surge in defense tech is both a durable need and a bubble, citing Germany's $100 billion investment but also long sales and development cycles, and slow government purchasing processes.
