7 In a future Mamdani administration that may seek to recalibrate the balance between capital and community, these structural advantages – capital flows, networks, familiarity, and legal infrastructure – remain the core reasons Israeli companies continue to choose New York. Tech, Life Sciences, and the Growth Sectors Drawing Israelis Beyond finance and real estate, New York’s surge in technology and life sciences is opening new doors for Israeli innovators – sectors that will be closely watched if a more interventionist City Hall emerges. Guy Ben-Ami, Carter Ledyard: “Between business groups, trade organizations, and corporate finance, tech and life sciences have been on a huge upswing in New York. While other U.S. cities indeed have their tech corridors (e.g., Charlotte, Boston, Silicon Valley, Austin), New York is where to find the important capital markets that are required for growth that brings success and prosperity to any company. The New York state university system, particularly upstate in the Albany-Rochester-Rensselaer triangle has invested millions of dollars in the expansion of research and development, where for decades companies have settled knowing a short train ride to New York City and Wall Street are at arm’s length.” “Exciting Opportunities for Israeli Companies” Ariel Yehezkel and Allison Troianos, Sheppard Mullin: “There is significant momentum behind tech and life sciences investment in New York right now, which is creating exciting opportunities for Israeli companies. We are seeing both private equity and venture capital increasingly directed toward sectors where Israeli startups excel, such as cybersecurity, fintech and healthcare. In addition, local institutions such as universities, medical centers, incubators, and accelerators are offering new paths for collaboration and helping companies enter the market more easily.” Tobias Moon, Chapman: “The tech surge is creating an ecosystem of founders and capital creating new opportunities for Israeli companies coming to the U.S.”
