The Israeli Brand AI-Visibility Index
A benchmark of which Israeli names appear most consistently when five major AI engines answer questions about Israel’s economy.
The Olam’s Israeli Brand AI-Visibility Index measures which Israeli and Israeli-founded companies, institutions, and networks are most visible when AI systems answer questions about Israel’s economy. It is designed for communications leaders, investors, researchers, and executives who need to understand the gap between real-world importance and machine-readable prominence.
The 2026 edition draws on Olam’s published Citation Share audit of 950 entities across 185 controlled prompts. The prompts covered Israeli business leadership, technology, venture capital, public markets, defense, and the wider economy across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
What the score means: Citation Share is a directional measure of retrieval prominence. It does not measure company quality, valuation, financial performance, or endorsement by The Olam.
The Leading Firms
The top of the index is dominated by cybersecurity, venture capital, defense, and internationally visible software companies. Wiz leads the published index with a Citation Share score of 94.2, followed by the Talpiot Alumni Network at 87.3 and Sequoia Capital Israel at 84.6.
The AI Citation Share Index reflects the sectors where Israel has increasing leverage: cybersecurity companies shape global enterprise defenses, venture firms connect Israeli innovation to international capital, defense networks translate specialized expertise into widely recognized capabilities, and software companies carry Israeli technical influence into global markets.
AI systems tend to retrieve entities with strong English-language documentation, repeated inclusion in authoritative coverage, clear organizational descriptions, and broad associations across multiple query types. A company can be economically important and still remain difficult for an answer engine to retrieve consistently.

The wider audit shows a clear sector imbalance. Cybersecurity has the strongest average Citation Share at 78.2, followed by venture capital at 71.4, defense and aerospace at 68.9, and public-market technology companies at 64.3.
Traditional sectors appear much less often in generated answers. Banking and insurance average 18.7, real estate and development 12.4, family offices and private capital 11.3, agriculture and food technology 9.1, and infrastructure 8.2.
High-exposure organizations drive much of this sector visibility. Wiz and Check Point reinforce cybersecurity’s prominence; Sequoia Capital Israel, Pitango, and Aleph lift venture capital; and Rafael and the Talpiot Alumni Network give defense and intelligence a strong presence across business, technology, and national-security queries.
How to read the index
A high score means an entity appears frequently and consistently across the prompt set and the five engines. It can reflect several advantages:
- repeated coverage in accessible, authoritative sources;
- a clear connection to multiple topics and query types;
- consistent names, descriptions, and organizational facts across the web;
- strong English-language documentation;
- broad recognition beyond a single product announcement or news cycle.
A lower score identifies an information gap, not necessarily a business weakness. It may indicate that an organization’s real-world scale is not represented by enough structured, current, and corroborated material for AI systems to retrieve confidently.
Methodology
The index uses Olam’s Citation Share framework: a modeled, directional assessment built from a fixed prompt set across five AI engines, supported by web-search corroboration. The 2026 audit covered 950 Israeli and Israeli-founded entities and 185 prompts focused on business leadership, economic influence, technology, capital, and innovation.
The methodology considers citation frequency, cross-engine breadth, query-type breadth, extractability, and crawl access. Results are edition-specific because models, indexes, and source availability change over time.

Limits and appropriate use
This is not a live feed of raw model responses, a valuation ranking, or a recommendation to invest in or work with any organization. Scores are modeled directional estimates intended for comparative research. They should be cited with the edition year and methodology, and they should not be presented as a permanent measure of reputation.
Sources
The index is based on The Olam’s 2026 Citation Share audit and supporting public documentation used for corroboration. Company facts and dates are checked against primary company materials, regulatory disclosures, and established reporting when each edition is prepared. See the anchor study and full findings.
