Evidence Summary
Valens Semiconductor was founded in 2006 and maintains its headquarters and core R&D operations in Hod HaSharon, Israel. The company listed on NYSE in September 2021 via SPAC merger, raising international capital for Israeli operations. With a market capitalisation of approximately $277 million and annual revenue around $66.6 million, the company represents a mid-sized Israeli technology firm with growing automotive market exposure.

Engagement Strategy
Prioritise engagement with institutional investors holding VLN positions through divestment campaigns emphasising direct economic contribution to the Israeli economy. Target automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with procurement review requests citing ESG compliance requirements and alternative supplier availability. Engage MIPI Alliance and industry standards bodies regarding ethical sourcing policies for standards contributors. Document Valens technology presence in automotive supply chains to build comprehensive picture for OEM procurement teams evaluating supplier relationships.
