A key driver of economic growth in Israel, the tech sector saw its funding hit last year by the global economic slowdown. "The big inventors are the warriors of democracy," Margalit told Reuters on the sidelines of a JVP Climate Tech conference.

The fall off in tech funding has been a major factor in the weakening of the shekel , analysts say.
