Qualcomm DIGITAL

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

Qualcomm’s 2025 Form 10-K states that Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI) and its subsidiaries conduct substantially all of the group’s product and services businesses and engineering/R&D functions; this group structure is the relevant attribution boundary for Qualcomm-branded technology discussed below.¹

No public evidence identified of a verifiable current Qualcomm licensing, subscription, or integration relationship with CyberArk, Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, Claroty, NICE, or Verint after targeted searches of Qualcomm disclosures, the named vendors, and Qualcomm Ventures materials.^{1, 2} A 2025 CyberArk IMPACT conference listing names Qualcomm Vice President, Cybersecurity Kris Virtue among the event speakers; this establishes conference participation, not a Qualcomm licensing or customer relationship.³ CyberArk is Israeli-origin: 2026 acquisition documentation describes CyberArk Software Ltd. as a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel.⁴

[pre-2020] In January 2010, Palo Alto Networks announced that Qualcomm had selected its next-generation firewall for network-security enforcement and application control after a product evaluation; Qualcomm’s then IT director described use in the company’s data-centre network environment.⁵ The current status of that historical deployment is unknown.

No public evidence identified that a systems integrator or IT-outsourcing partner mandated or deployed Israeli-origin enterprise software for Qualcomm. Qualcomm’s public supply-chain page identifies its primary semiconductor manufacturing suppliers as TSMC, Samsung Electronics, GlobalFoundries, ASE, Amkor, SPIL, and STATSChipPAC; it does not identify an Israeli semiconductor manufacturer among that primary-supplier list.⁶

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

[pre-2020] In November 2018 Qualcomm Ventures participated in a Series A financing round for AnyVision, which Qualcomm described as a face-, body-, and object-recognition startup and as the first investment from its $100 million AI Fund.⁷ In March 2020, TechCrunch reported that a review commissioned by Microsoft confirmed that AnyVision technology was used to monitor border crossings between the West Bank and Israel, while the review did not substantiate a broader allegation that the company powered a mass-surveillance program across the West Bank; the same report listed Qualcomm Ventures among investors that continued to back AnyVision at that time.⁸ Who Profits’ current AnyVision/Oosto profile also lists Qualcomm Ventures among shareholders/investors and Qualcomm among partners.⁹

These records establish a Qualcomm Ventures investment in a biometric/computer-vision company whose technology was independently reported as deployed at West Bank border crossings; they do not establish that Qualcomm directed that deployment, that Qualcomm hardware was the platform used at those crossings, or that Qualcomm had operational access to the resulting biometric data.^{7, 8, 9} no public evidence identified of Qualcomm itself deploying AnyVision/Oosto, Trigo, BriefCam, Trax, or another Israeli-origin biometric or retail-surveillance system inside Qualcomm facilities.^{1, 7}

No public evidence identified of Qualcomm procuring Israeli-origin predictive-policing, sentiment-analysis, social-media-monitoring, or workforce-surveillance tools.^{1, 2} no public evidence identified that such tools reached Qualcomm indirectly through a managed-security or enterprise-suite provider; the 2025 CyberArk conference listing does not document a Qualcomm product deployment or procurement relationship.³

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Qualcomm’s current legal-entity list identifies Qualcomm Israel Ltd. at Nahum Het Street, Omega Building, Tirat Hacarmel, Haifa, and separately identifies Autotalks Ltd. at Industrial Park Kfar-Netter, Israel.¹⁰ This establishes an operating corporate footprint in Israel, but no public evidence identified that Qualcomm operates, leases, or co-locates a public or private data centre in Israel, or that these addresses are data-centre facilities.¹⁰

No public evidence identified of Qualcomm participation in Project Nimbus or another Israeli state sovereign-cloud programme, and no public evidence identified of Qualcomm marketing data-sovereignty, sovereign-cloud, or resilience services specifically to Israeli state or military bodies.^{1, 10}

Qualcomm’s privacy policy, effective 29 January 2026, states that covered products and services may collect device-installation/configuration data, product/service usage information, geolocation, error/diagnostic information, and, for road-data R&D, imagery and video associated with time and location that can include faces, bodies, and vehicle licence plates.¹¹ The same policy states that information may be transferred and accessed around the world, including countries where Qualcomm and its service providers operate.¹¹ Because Qualcomm has an Israeli operating entity, this global-transfer language is relevant to the Data-Exposure Principle, but it does not establish that a particular customer, device, location, road-imagery, or biometric dataset is stored, routed, processed, or remotely accessed in Israel.^{10, 11} No public product-specific disclosure identified an Israeli storage region, Israeli processing location, or Israeli-government legal-access pathway for those datasets.^{10, 11}

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

A current dual-use platform-use lead is documented inside an Israeli defence company. A March 2026 Elbit Systems Israel recruitment posting for its Haifa-based IBIS (Image Based Innovative Solutions) team states that the team develops image-processing, computer-vision, and AI solutions and implements algorithms on advanced edge platforms including NVIDIA Jetson and Qualcomm Snapdragon; the role also describes C++ real-time embedded development and integration of image-processing/computer-vision algorithms on Jetson/Qualcomm platforms.¹² This verifies use of Qualcomm’s general-purpose edge-computing platform in an Elbit engineering context. The posting does not identify a Snapdragon model, an Israeli Ministry of Defense or IDF contract, a named military programme, a specific weapon or surveillance deployment, or any direct Qualcomm support or supply agreement with Elbit.¹²

No public evidence identified of a verified direct Qualcomm contract, partnership, or service agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet, or Israeli police after targeted searches for Qualcomm/Snapdragon/QTI with those entities.^{1, 12} no public evidence identified of Qualcomm developing, licensing, or maintaining offensive cyber exploit tooling or zero-day weapons for Israeli state actors.¹

Qualcomm Ventures’ Israel and Europe managing director, Boaz Peer, states on Qualcomm Ventures’ own site that before Qualcomm he worked at Rafael as a project manager and previously as an IDF intelligence officer.¹³ This is a personnel-background fact and does not establish a Qualcomm–Rafael, Qualcomm–IDF, or Qualcomm–intelligence-agency contract.¹³

Constructive-notice timing: the Elbit platform-use evidence is dated March 2026, after the 19 July 2024 and November 2024 notice points specified by this audit rubric.^{12, 14} The public record identified here does not show when Elbit obtained the Qualcomm platform or document a post-notice Qualcomm sale, support decision, or direct contract; none is inferred. Settlement nexus: no public evidence identified of a Qualcomm product or service supplied specifically in or to an Israeli settlement through a licensee, reseller, or other intermediary; the AnyVision evidence concerns border-crossing monitoring and does not establish Qualcomm hardware or operational participation.^{7, 8, 9}

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

The Elbit IBIS recruitment evidence shows that, in 2026, an Israeli defence manufacturer was implementing image-processing, computer-vision, and AI algorithms on general-purpose Qualcomm Snapdragon edge platforms.¹² Under the Digital domain boundary, this is documented here as general-purpose compute/AI infrastructure used by a defence-sector customer or developer; no public evidence identified from the posting that the Qualcomm platform’s designed function is autonomous target generation, fire control, kill-chain automation, or another purpose-built kinetic effect.¹²

[pre-2020] Qualcomm’s 2018 AnyVision investment was explicitly framed around on-device AI, computer vision, and face/body/object recognition.⁷ The later West Bank border-crossing use reported in 2020 concerns AnyVision’s technology, not a Qualcomm-developed facial-recognition model.⁸ no public evidence identified that a Qualcomm AI model or platform was trained on Palestinian civilian data, intercepted communications, or surveillance-derived datasets from Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territory.^{11, 7, 8}

No public evidence identified of Qualcomm providing autonomous target-generation, automated lethal decision-support, or autonomous tracking systems to Israeli military or security forces.^{1, 12}

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Qualcomm’s current legal-entity list confirms Qualcomm Israel Ltd. in Haifa and Autotalks Ltd. in Kfar-Netter.¹⁰ Current 2026 recruiting evidence for Qualcomm Israel Ltd. shows active Haifa engineering work in 5G RF firmware and wireless-system development, including embedded software, RF/PHY, modem, LTE/5G NR, algorithms, and hardware/software integration.^{15, 16} These postings support an ongoing Israeli engineering/R&D footprint in 2026; they do not identify Israeli military or security customers.^{15, 16}

Qualcomm has repeatedly acquired Israeli technology businesses. [pre-2020] In August 2012 it acquired Ra’anana-based DesignArt Networks, whose technology included small-cell modem/system-on-chip products and wireless backhaul.¹⁷ [pre-2020] In November 2012 it acquired assets of Hod Hasharon-based EPOS Development, a developer of ultrasound-based digital positioning, pen/stylus, and gesture-recognition technology.¹⁸ [pre-2020] In July 2014 it completed the acquisition of Wilocity, a developer of 60 GHz WiGig chipsets; Qualcomm stated that it had invested in Wilocity since 2008 and collaborated with it since 2011.¹⁹

In June 2022 Qualcomm Technologies acquired Cellwize, adding a cloud-native, multi-vendor RAN automation and management platform to its 5G infrastructure business.²⁰ By November 2022 Qualcomm said the acquired technology had become the Qualcomm Edgewise Suite, a RAN service-automation, management, and orchestration platform with AI/ML-driven network automation and deployments at more than 30 public mobile operators worldwide.²¹ No public source identified in this audit linked Cellwize/Edgewise to an Israeli military, intelligence, settlement, or Project Nimbus deployment.^{20, 21}

On 5 June 2025 Qualcomm Technologies completed its acquisition of Autotalks, a V2X semiconductor company, and said Autotalks products would become part of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis portfolio; former Autotalks CEO Hagai Zyss became a Qualcomm Technologies vice president of product management.²² Qualcomm’s current legal-entity list continues to show Autotalks Ltd. in Kfar-Netter, Israel.¹⁰ no public evidence identified that the acquired V2X products were supplied to Israeli state, military, police, or settlement authorities.^{10, 22}

Qualcomm Ventures maintains a current Israel investment operation: its team page lists Boaz Peer as Managing Director, Israel & Europe, and Raz Mayshar as Senior Manager, Israel.²³ Peer’s official portfolio page lists multiple active Israeli investments and identifies Team8 as an active Israeli “cybersecurity foundry”; the page says Team8 was founded by Nadav Zafrir, Israel Grimberg, and Liran Grinberg, all with deep ties to IDF Technology & Intelligence Unit 8200, and states that Team8 is backed by Qualcomm and other investors.^{13, 24} Qualcomm Ventures’ portfolio separately marks SentinelOne, Waze, and Wiliot as Israel-linked portfolio companies, with SentinelOne and Waze shown as IPO/acquired statuses and Wiliot as active.² These are venture-investment/ecosystem relationships; they are not evidence that Qualcomm procured those companies’ products or that Qualcomm contracted with Unit 8200.^{13, 2}

[pre-2020] In August 2019 Qualcomm named Mark McLaughlin chair of its board and described him as a former chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks.²⁵ A May 2025 Qualcomm board announcement continued to identify McLaughlin as Chair.²⁶ no public evidence identified of a current personal equity stake or board role by Qualcomm’s chair, CEO, or other named controlling principal in an Israeli military, surveillance, SIGINT, or offensive-cyber company that would independently establish a present corporate act under the audit rubric.^{25, 26}

No public evidence identified of a current significant Qualcomm patent-licensing or co-development agreement specifically with Technion, Hebrew University, or the Weizmann Institute after targeted searches; historical university and patent-office references were not sufficient to establish a current material agreement.^{1, 10}

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

Qualcomm was not found in the locally checked text of the current UN OHCHR settlement-business database report A/HRC/60/19 (26 September 2025), which lists enterprises assessed under Human Rights Council resolutions 31/36 and 53/25.²⁷ Qualcomm was also not found in the locally checked text of A/HRC/59/23, the 2025 Special Rapporteur report addressing corporate activity including surveillance, AI, and cloud infrastructure.²⁸ These are document-specific absence findings only; they do not establish that every possible Qualcomm relationship with Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territory has been investigated by the UN.^{27, 28}

AFSC Investigate’s current company database was checked during enumeration and no Qualcomm company profile was identified; its separate AnyVision/Oosto-related material is consistent with Qualcomm having been an investor in that biometric company rather than AFSC listing Qualcomm itself as a standalone company target.^{29, 7, 8} Who Profits’ AnyVision/Oosto profile specifically lists Qualcomm Ventures as an investor/shareholder and Qualcomm as a partner, which is reported above with the primary Qualcomm investment announcement and independent reporting on deployment.^{9, 7, 8}

No public evidence identified of a BDS Movement priority-target designation specifically for Qualcomm in the official priority-target guide reviewed for this audit; a text search of that guide returned no Qualcomm entry.¹⁴ Don’t Buy Into Occupation’s public report index identifies its 2025 report and Annex 2 company list; the locally held 2025 report and 2024 company-list materials were checked without a Qualcomm hit.³⁰ These are document-specific absence findings limited to the materials and targeted searches reviewed, not a claim that no individual or local boycott advocacy exists anywhere.

No public evidence identified of a regulatory inquiry, sanctions proceeding, export-control enforcement action, or legal challenge specifically concerning Qualcomm technology supplied to Israeli state entities after the targeted company, regulatory, and civil-society searches documented for this audit.^{1, 27, 28}
