ICL PLANET Startup Hub’s Post

Looking back, the global venture capital (VC) market in 2024 has shown signs of resilience despite economic headwinds such as inflation, geopolitical uncertainties, and fluctuating interest rates. A few standout trends from the year: 🌍 Investors prioritize startups with clear paths to profitability rather than growth at all costs. 🌍 HealthTech, ClimateTech, and generative AI attracted significant attention and investment. 🌍 Geographic diversification, with emerging markets having gained traction, fueled by strong demographic and digital trends. 🌍 Corporate Venture Capital played a key role in driving collaboration and strategic partnerships. These trends resonate with ICL PLANET Startup Hub’s strategic focus as we head into 2025, committed to innovation and impactful partnerships. Wishing everyone a strong start to the new year! #RegenerativeAgriculture #VC #CVC #Sustainability #AgriFoodTech #Wrapped
