Israel has over 450,000 developers and engineers in the technical industry. During 2024, seven technology startups in Israel received 'unicorn' status as part of funding deals that valued them at over 1 billion U.S. dollars. From cybersecurity to fintech and healthtech, they earned global status as start-up nation for innovation.

And one of the brightest spots on the map? Mobile app development.

In 2025, Smartexe stood among the top mobile app development companies in Israel — listed by highly respected platforms:

• Top 10 Mobile App Developers in Israel by TopDevelopers.co
• Top iOS Developers in Israel by TechBehemoths
• Featured by Sortlist and GoodFirms

These aren’t just badges for our homepage. It is appreciation for 20+ years of hard work — building organic development teams, creating apps that matter, and supporting clients in fintech, healthcare, hospitality, and more.

Why Israel Is a Hub for Mobile App Development

Let’s talk numbers:

• Mobile development investment in Israel increased by 19.6% in 2025
• 60% of Israeli startups listed mobile as a primary strategy
• Tel Aviv and Herzliya were ranked in the top 20 global technical hubs for mobile innovation

And this growth is no accident. Israel has one of the world's highest R&D spend per capita, accelerators and a high density of enterprise capital, and a deep pool of engineering talent that innovates and pushes the boundaries.
