Does Boston Scientific Corporation support Israel?
Yes — Boston Scientific Corporation has documented support for Israel on record. Every claim below links to its source.
Filed under: Pharma & healthcare companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
Boston Scientific's documented Israel activity is investment and acquisition in the medical-device sector: an Israeli office and a stated $100 million investment programme announced in 2002, and the 2025 purchase of Rehovot-based SoniVie for up to about $540 million. Attribution matters: the 2002 figure was an announced intention by the corporation, not a confirmed sum paid out. This pass found no corporate or foundation donation to Israeli humanitarian or advocacy causes, and Boston Scientific does not appear on the Yale School of Management list of companies that publicly condemned the 7 October 2023 attack.

| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | 2025-03-03 | $360,000,000 | SoniVie Ltd. (Rehovot, Israel) Boston Scientific announced a definitive agreement to acquire SoniVie, the Israeli developer of the TIVUS ultrasound-based renal denervation system for treatment-resistant hypertension, for $360 million upfront plus up to $180 million in milestone payments — up to about $540 million. Boston Scientific had been an existing investor in the company before moving to full ownership. | |
| Investment / program | 2002-06 | — | Israeli medical-technology and biotechnology ventures Boston Scientific opened an Israeli office in June 2002 and its then chief financial officer announced the company would invest up to $100 million in Israeli medical-device, pharmaceutical and biotechnology ventures. The figure was a stated investment intention rather than a verified disbursed total; the durable result was a standing presence in the Israeli medtech market that later produced deals such as the SoniVie acquisition. |
