Germany and Israel cooperate in various fields in the so-called key enabling technologies. Frontier technologies (such as artificial intelligence and quantum technologies) are also of increasing economic interest for bilateral exchange. Cooperation takes place at both bilateral and multilateral level.

The German-Israeli research cooperation on new materials and nanotechnology grew out of earlier projects on research into magnesium alloys for use in batteries. As part of the sixth German-Israeli government consultations in 2016, both countries agreed to cooperate on applied nanotechnology.
