This episode highlights:

• 25 announced deals totaling almost $8 billion in deal volume, confirming Israel's role as a "scale-up nation".

• The dominant commonality: AI and Generative AI influencing most acquisitions, especially in the cyber world.

• A "warning sign" regarding Israeli-founded multinationals, such as NICE (TASE & NASDAQ: NICE), choosing to acquire advanced AI companies based outside of Israel (like German-based Congnigy for close to $1B).
