Target: Qualcomm Incorporated Evidence cut-off: 22 September 2026 Audit phase: Economic

This audit reports verifiable economic, operational, investment and supply-chain evidence only. Historical evidence before 2020 is tagged [pre-2020]. Where a required sub-category was searched but no supported evidence was identified, the audit says no public evidence identified.

Authoritative-source and Israeli-Nexus checks

The 2025 Form 10-K states that Qualcomm was incorporated in California in 1985, reincorporated in Delaware in 1991, and has its principal executive offices at 5775 Morehouse Drive, San Diego. Qualcomm is therefore not Israeli-founded and does not have its corporate headquarters or principal place of management in Israel.1

Qualcomm’s current public legal-entity list identifies Qualcomm Israel Ltd. at Nahum Het St., Omega Building, 4th Floor, Tirat Hacarmel, Haifa, and also identifies Autotalks Ltd. in Israel following Qualcomm’s 2025 acquisition.2 No Qualcomm-specific public evidence identified of Israeli tax residency for the US parent, Preferred Technology Enterprise/Special Preferred Technology Enterprise status for Qualcomm Israel Ltd., or an Israel-specific effective tax rate.1, 2, 3

The 2026 proxy identifies Vanguard Group at 10.53% and BlackRock at 8.71% as the only holders above 5% disclosed in the beneficial-ownership table. No Israeli controlling shareholder or Israeli-capital control block is disclosed there.4

Text-search review of A/HRC/59/23 did not identify Qualcomm by name, and text-search review of the 2025 OHCHR business-enterprise database did not identify Qualcomm, Qualcomm Israel, DesignArt, Wilocity, Cellwize, Autotalks or SAM Seamless Network by name.5, 6 The OHCHR database is activity-scoped rather than a universal census of all commercial links, so non-inclusion is recorded only as a database absence, not as proof of no Israel/OPT nexus.6

Constructive-notice and settlement-nexus chronology

On 1 July 2026, after the 19 July 2024 ICJ advisory-opinion benchmark and the November 2024 ICC-warrant benchmark specified by the audit rubric, reporting stated that Qualcomm was acquiring Israeli cybersecurity company SAM Seamless Network for an estimated value above $150 million; the same report named Bezeq as a SAM customer and said SAM would continue as an independent Qualcomm business unit.7 [pre-2020] A 2019 SAM release stated that Bezeq had installed SAM core cybersecurity software in more than 1.5 million households.8 Current Bezeq Cyber Plus terms state that the service for customers renting Be routers is provided using Securing Sam Ltd.’s application and systems, confirming that the SAM-Bezeq service relationship continued after 2020.9

The 2025 OHCHR database lists Bezeq, the Israeli Telecommunication Corp. Ltd. under activity categories (e) and (g), which the report defines as, respectively, services/utilities supporting the maintenance and existence of settlements and the use of natural resources, particularly water and land, for business purposes.6 Separately, the Norwegian Council on Ethics stated in 2024 that Bezeq supplies telecommunications services to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and recommended exclusion from the Government Pension Fund Global.10 These sources establish a current post-acquisition commercial chain of Qualcomm ownership of SAM, SAM service to Bezeq, and Bezeq’s separately documented settlement-related telecommunications activity.7, 8, 9, 6, 10 no public evidence identified that SAM software itself is deployed specifically to Bezeq customers, routers or infrastructure located in settlements; the available sources do not establish that narrower deployment geography.7, 8, 9

A second, older lead is bounded more narrowly: in 2021, before Qualcomm’s acquisition, Cellwize said it sold software to Israel’s Partner Communications.11 Qualcomm acquired Cellwize in June 2022.12 Partner Communications appears in the 2025 OHCHR database under categories (e) and (g), but no public evidence identified that the Cellwize/Partner commercial relationship continued after Qualcomm acquired Cellwize; post-acquisition continuity is therefore unknown.12, 11, 6

Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

Direct supplier relationships

Qualcomm’s 2025 Form 10-K identifies its primary foundry suppliers as TSMC, Samsung Electronics and GlobalFoundries and its primary semiconductor assembly/test suppliers as Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Amkor Technology, Siliconware Precision Industries and STATSChipPAC; the filing describes most foundry/assembly/test capacity as being in the Asia-Pacific region and Qualcomm’s own RFFE/RF manufacturing as occurring primarily in Germany and Singapore.1 Qualcomm’s 2025 Corporate Responsibility Report likewise defines its primary semiconductor manufacturing suppliers by reference to the foundry and assembly/test suppliers in the annual report.13

No public evidence identified of a Qualcomm direct commercial sourcing relationship with Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, Galilee Export, Agrexco successors, or another Israeli agricultural aggregator/exporter in the reviewed corporate, supplier and web evidence.1, 13

Importer-of-record structure

Qualcomm has an Israeli subsidiary, Qualcomm Israel Ltd., but no public evidence identified that this entity, Autotalks Ltd., or another Qualcomm-controlled Israeli entity acts as a dedicated importer of record for goods originating in Israel or the occupied territories.2

Seasonal sourcing patterns

No public evidence identified of recurring or seasonal Qualcomm procurement of Israeli agricultural products, including counter-seasonal produce.1, 13

Third-party and indirect sourcing

Qualcomm maintains a global partner/distributor ecosystem, but the public distributor and partner materials reviewed did not establish a named third-party distributor or reseller supplying Qualcomm-origin products specifically into West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan settlements.14 no public evidence identified of settlement-origin goods reaching Qualcomm through white-label, reseller or indirect agricultural sourcing arrangements.1, 14

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

Settlement-origin products

No public evidence identified of Qualcomm products or inputs reported by OHCHR, customs authorities, DEFRA, Who Profits, or the reviewed corporate sources as settlement-origin goods mislabeled as “Produce of Israel” or equivalent.1, 13, 6

Labeling compliance

No public evidence identified of a country-of-origin labeling enforcement action, customs citation, or regulatory finding against Qualcomm concerning goods from Israeli settlements or other occupied/contested territories.1, 13

Corporate labeling policy

No public evidence identified of a Qualcomm corporate policy specifically addressing country-of-origin labeling or sourcing of physical goods from Israeli settlements or occupied/contested territories.1, 13

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Foreign direct investment and acquired Israeli operations

Qualcomm has repeatedly used acquisitions to internalize Israel-based R&D and technology operations.2, 15, 16, 12, 17, 7 The available evidence supports the following transaction history; where Qualcomm did not disclose transaction value, press estimates are identified as such rather than treated as official consideration.15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 12, 17, 22, 7

YearAcquired operationTransaction and current-status evidenceManufacturing / scale / nexus
2010 [pre-2020]iSkootQualcomm Innovation Center acquired iSkoot Technologies Inc., a newly formed corporation that had received substantially all assets of San Francisco-based iSkoot; Israeli reporting described this as Qualcomm’s first Israel acquisition and identified a Beit Shemesh R&D center, with a reported $50–100 million estimate.19, 20Mixed US headquarters/Israeli R&D footprint at acquisition. No public evidence identified of a current standalone iSkoot operating entity or Israeli manufacturing operation.19, 20
2012 [pre-2020]DesignArt NetworksQualcomm acquired Ra’anana-based DesignArt Networks, whose products covered small-cell base-station and wireless-backhaul SoCs/software. Qualcomm did not disclose terms; later Israeli reporting put the deal at about $120–140 million.15, 18R&D/semiconductor-design acquisition. No public evidence identified of an Israel manufacturing fab or a current standalone DesignArt operation.15, 18
2012 [pre-2020]EPOS Development assetsQualcomm Technologies acquired certain assets, not the whole company, of Hod Hasharon-based EPOS; Qualcomm said joining EPOS team members would be integrated into Qualcomm Israel’s R&D team. Terms were undisclosed.23Asset/R&D acquisition, not evidence of continuing 100% ownership of EPOS as a separate operating company. No public evidence identified of Israeli manufacturing.23
2014 [pre-2020]CSR Israel/Zoran imaging unitIVC records Qualcomm’s acquisition of the CSR Israel imaging unit for $45 million and marks the local CSR Israel R&D center as ceased.21Imaging/R&D asset acquisition. Current standalone operation: ceased according to IVC.21
2014 [pre-2020]WilocityQualcomm completed its acquisition of WiGig-chipset developer Wilocity; Qualcomm did not disclose financial terms. Globes reported approximately $300 million and described the transaction as Qualcomm’s fifth acquisition in Israel.16, 18Semiconductor-design/R&D acquisition. No public evidence identified of an Israeli manufacturing fab or a current standalone Wilocity legal entity.16, 18
2016 [pre-2020], inherited in 2022CrowdX via CellwizeCellwize acquired Tel Aviv mobile-network analytics company CrowdX in 2016; Qualcomm later acquired Cellwize in 2022, thereby inheriting that business lineage. Current standalone CrowdX status was not identified.24, 12Network analytics/software. No public evidence identified of manufacturing.24, 12
2022CellwizeQualcomm Technologies acquired Cellwize Wireless Technologies Pte. Ltd., a mobile-network automation and RAN-management company; local reporting put the consideration at about $350 million.12, 25Cellwize technology was integrated into the Qualcomm Edgewise Suite in November 2022, showing operational integration after acquisition.26 no public evidence identified of Israeli manufacturing.12, 26
2025AutotalksQualcomm Technologies completed the acquisition of V2X specialist Autotalks on 5 June 2025.17 Globes reported an $80–90 million price estimate and about 120 employees, including roughly 100 at its Kfar Netter development center.22 Qualcomm’s current legal-entity list includes Autotalks Ltd. in Israel.2R&D/automotive-communications operation; Qualcomm is moving the Kfar Netter activity into leased Netanya offices in 2026.27 no public evidence identified of an Israeli manufacturing fab.17, 22
2026SAM Seamless NetworkCalcalist reported Qualcomm’s July 2026 acquisition at an estimated value above $150 million, about 80 employees across Israel and the US, and continued operation as an independent Qualcomm business unit.7Cybersecurity/network software. TechCrunch reported in 2018 that co-founder Sivan Rauscher had worked in cybersecurity in the Israeli army before co-founding SAM; this is founder biography, not evidence of an Israeli defence procurement contract.28 SAM’s Bezeq customer link and the separate Bezeq settlement evidence are documented above.7, 8, 6, 10

R&D and innovation centres

In January 2023, Calcalist reported that Qualcomm employed about 700 people in Israel and had two R&D centers, in Haifa and Hod Hasharon, while also operating Qualcomm Ventures in the country.25 That headcount predates the 2025 Autotalks and 2026 SAM acquisitions and should not be treated as a 2026 total. Qualcomm’s current entity list continues to identify Qualcomm Israel Ltd. in the Haifa/Tirat Carmel area.2

In February 2026, Globes reported that Qualcomm leased 2,000 square metres at Park Ogen in Netanya for the Autotalks activity, with the acquired team moving from Kfar Netter.27 This is current evidence of continued and expanding physical R&D/technology operations in Israel.27

Parent and beneficial ownership flows

Qualcomm Incorporated is the US parent; the 2026 proxy identifies Vanguard at 10.53% and BlackRock at 8.71% as its only disclosed >5% beneficial holders.4 Qualcomm Israel Ltd. and Autotalks Ltd. appear on Qualcomm’s legal-entity list, while Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. was the acquiring subsidiary for Cellwize and Autotalks.2, 12, 17 no public evidence identified of an Israeli parent, Israeli majority shareholder, or Israeli beneficial-control block over Qualcomm Incorporated.4

Portfolio and fund exposure

Qualcomm Ventures has an active Israel investment function. Its current portfolio page identifies Israel-tagged investments including Wiliot as Active, SentinelOne as IPO, and Waze as Acquired; a dedicated current portfolio page identifies Mantis Vision as an active Israel investment.29, 30 Boaz Peer is Qualcomm Ventures’ Managing Director for Israel and Europe and currently serves as board member or observer for multiple portfolio companies including Wiliot, floLIVE, Quantum Machines, CoreTigo, Cynet, Weka.IO, ScyllaDB, TytoCare and i3 Equity Partners.31

Qualcomm Ventures also made a strategic investment in Cellwize in 2020 before Qualcomm acquired the company in 2022.32, 12 This is operationally distinct from a passive index position because the corporate venture investment preceded full acquisition.32, 12

[pre-2020] Qualcomm Ventures participated in AnyVision’s 2018 Series A through Qualcomm’s AI Fund.33 In 2020, AnyVision/Oosto published the result of a Covington review stating that the available evidence did not substantiate allegations that AnyVision technology powered a mass-surveillance program in the West Bank; Microsoft nevertheless divested under a broader policy change on minority investments in facial-recognition companies.34 The reviewed sources do not establish a current Qualcomm ownership position in Oosto, so the Qualcomm exposure is recorded here as historical rather than current.29, 33, 34

No public evidence identified of Qualcomm or Qualcomm Incorporated holding Israeli sovereign bonds or an Israel-focused public securities fund on its own balance sheet.1 Qualcomm is not a financial-sector target, and no public evidence identified of Qualcomm underwriting Israeli sovereign debt/war bonds, selling Israel Bonds, providing settlement-project lending, or underwriting insurance for Israeli state/military/settlement activity.1

Operational Presence & Market Activity

Physical footprint

Qualcomm’s current legal-entity list places Qualcomm Israel Ltd. at Tirat Carmel/Haifa and Autotalks Ltd. in Kfar Netter.2 The 2023 local reporting identified R&D centers in Haifa and Hod Hasharon.25 The February 2026 Netanya lease provides newer evidence that the Autotalks operation is being moved into a 2,000 m² Qualcomm-leased office at Park Ogen.27 SAM’s July 2026 acquisition adds a further Israeli cybersecurity operation that reporting says will remain an independent business unit inside Qualcomm.7

No public evidence identified of a Qualcomm office, warehouse, retail location or Qualcomm-owned manufacturing facility physically located in a West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan settlement.2, 27, 6

Employment and tax contribution

Calcalist reported approximately 700 Qualcomm employees in Israel in January 2023.25 Autotalks had about 120 employees at acquisition in June 2025, around 100 of them in its Kfar Netter development center, and SAM had about 80 employees across Israel and the US at acquisition in July 2026.22, 7 Because these populations overlap neither cleanly nor necessarily fully with Qualcomm’s existing workforce, no public evidence identified of an authoritative consolidated Qualcomm Israel headcount for September 2026.25, 22, 7

The Israel Innovation Authority currently lists Qualcomm among corporations participating in one of its corporation-facing collaboration tracks.3 That listing does not state a Qualcomm-specific grant amount, tax benefit, government equity stake or PTE designation; no public evidence identified of a Qualcomm-specific Innovation Authority award amount or Qualcomm Israel tax contribution in the reviewed sources.3

Market positioning

Qualcomm’s 2025 10-K does not separately characterize Israel as a reportable revenue geography, strategic growth market or regional hub.1 Qualcomm Ventures nevertheless maintains a dedicated Israel/Europe managing director and Israel portfolio exposure, and Qualcomm has continued Israeli acquisitions through Autotalks in 2025 and SAM in 2026.31, 17, 7 no public evidence identified of a Qualcomm annual-report statement assigning a quantified national market share or Israel-specific revenue target.1

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

Founding and incorporation history

Qualcomm was founded/incorporated in California in 1985 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1991; its principal executive offices are in San Diego.1 It was not founded or originally incorporated in Israel.1

Qualcomm nevertheless has a long-running Israeli R&D/acquisition footprint. [pre-2020] acquisitions include iSkoot’s Israeli R&D operation, DesignArt, EPOS assets, the CSR Israel imaging unit and Wilocity; later acquisitions include Cellwize (2022), Autotalks (2025) and SAM (2026).15, 23, 18, 20, 21, 12, 17, 7

Headquarters and domicile

Current corporate domicile: Delaware, United States; principal executive office: San Diego, California.1 Qualcomm Israel Ltd. is a subsidiary/local entity rather than a dual corporate headquarters.1, 2

State and institutional linkages

The Israel Innovation Authority lists Qualcomm among participating corporations in a collaboration track, establishing an institutional innovation-program linkage.3 no public evidence identified of Israeli state ownership in Qualcomm, an Israeli government-appointed Qualcomm director, Israeli golden-share rights, designation of Qualcomm itself as Israeli critical national infrastructure, or a Qualcomm-specific Israeli government procurement contract in the reviewed evidence.4, 3

SAM’s founders’ prior IDF cyber-service background and Qualcomm Ventures managing director Boaz Peer’s prior Rafael employment/IDF intelligence service are biographical links, not evidence by themselves of current Qualcomm contracts with the IDF or Ministry of Defense.28, 31

Structural governance features

The 2026 proxy describes conventional public-company share ownership and governance; no public evidence identified of an Israeli state golden share, founder share, charter restriction, veto right or other governance mechanism structurally tying Qualcomm’s corporate mission or control to the Israeli state.4

Controlling principals

Focused searches on founder Irwin Jacobs, CEO Cristiano Amon, Chair Mark McLaughlin and the disclosed >10% holder did not identify a verified material personal/family-office investment in an Israeli company that could be attributed as a controlling-principal act. No public evidence identified for this sub-category.4

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

Revenue attribution

Qualcomm reports consolidated global and selected geographic/customer information but does not separately disclose revenue generated from Israel in the reviewed FY2025 10-K.1 no public evidence identified of a Qualcomm-published Israel revenue figure for FY2025 or FY2026.1

Profit flows

Qualcomm Israel Ltd. is a local Israeli legal entity within a US-headquartered group, but the reviewed public materials do not disclose Israel-specific operating profit, corporate tax paid, dividends to the US parent, transfer-pricing flows, or other repatriation amounts.1, 2 no public evidence identified sufficient to quantify the direction or amount of Israel-specific profit repatriation.1, 2

Economic ecosystem role

The strongest public indicators of Qualcomm’s economic role in Israel are its reported approximately 700-person workforce in 2023, current local legal entities, repeated acquisitions, the 2026 Netanya office commitment, a dedicated Qualcomm Ventures Israel/Europe investment function, and the 2026 SAM acquisition.2, 25, 27, 31, 7 These sources establish a material R&D, venture-investment and acquired-technology presence but do not provide a current Israel revenue figure or an official Israeli-government designation of Qualcomm as a national/sector anchor.1, 3 no public evidence identified of such a formal designation.1, 3
