Fosun International Limited, a major Chinese multinational conglomerate and investment holding company headquartered in Shanghai, maintains a robust and strategic investment footprint within the Israeli market. Characterized by high-value acquisitions and venture capital injections, the conglomerate’s portfolio spans cutting-edge medical technology, fintech, and consumer goods. In 2013, Fosun Pharmaceutical—a core subsidiary of the group—executed a strategic acquisition of Alma Lasers, a premier Israeli developer of energy-based medical and aesthetic laser devices. To optimize governance and market positioning, Sisram Medical Ltd. was subsequently established in Israel as the holding entity, leading to its successful public listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In 2016, Fosun completed a full acquisition of AHAVA for approximately $77 million. AHAVA is a globally recognized skincare brand pioneering the formulation of cosmetic products enriched with Dead Sea minerals and natural extracts. while AHAVA was negotiating with Fosun over its acquisition, the company announced that it would relocate its factory to Ein Gedi, a few miles south of Mitzpe Shalem and outside the oPt. Fosun stated at the time: "Where the plant is concerned, we have been aware of it since the negotiations began. We're in the process of signing a contract with Kibbutz Ein Gedi, and we plan to move the plant there. All these measures are critical for getting the company on the right road, so that no problems like this will arise concerning the company's business." Construction at Ein Gedi started in 2016, and the new plant and visitor center opened in 2022. The original visitor center in Mitzpe Shalem has been closed since 2020.Fosun's inclusion in the 2025 UN database prompted them to issue a formal statement: "Since 2022, the Company's entire production chain has been located at Kibbutz Ein Gedi, within the sovereign and internationally recognized territory of the State of Israel. Additionally, the Company does not and has never extracted resources from occupied territory." Demonstrating its commitment to the financial technology ecosystem, Fosun invested $5 million in The Floor in 2018.

Fosun became a major shareholder in BondIT following a $14.25 million investment round in 2017.
