Incubators

R&D Fund

Generic R&D

The MAGNET Program

The MAGNETON Program

Pre-seed Fund – the TNUFA Program

Grants are up to 85% ofapproved expenses are available to

a maximum of $50,000for each project

A project period is up to 24 months and budget up to $800,000.Grants of up to 66% of the

approved budget are available with no royalty repayments

The Nofar Project

Support for Research Institutes

Grants of up to 90% will be given to biotechnology & nanotechnology

projects with the remaining10% coming from industrial

company that is a player in this market. The maximum grant is

approximately $100,000 perproject - no royalties are required.

Grants are up to 90% of approved budget and up to two years. At

least 10% of the budget must be approved by industry

"The R&D grant provides 85%of the approved R&D

expenditures (budget of $350,000- $600,000 for two years), with the remainder to be invested by the

incubator itself. The grantsare, in effect, soft loans to be

given back by the incubators, in case of commercial success only."

Grants are provided as a percent-age (up to 50%) of the total

approved R&D expenditures. The grants are a 'conditional loan' – in

case of a technological and commercial success, it is subject to

royalties (3% – 5% of the sales);in case of non-commercialization

no repayment is required. The Law stipulates that the royalties

received will, in turn, be returned to the R&D Fund - in other words,

used to fund future grantsto encourage and support

industrial R&D.

The MAGNET program consists of about 12 consortia annually, while

each of them is activated for 5 years. A consortium includes

several industrial companies and academic institutes. Grants of up to 66% of the approved budget

are available with no royalty payments due. MAGNET's

annual budget is about $50 million per year.

assisting individual inventors and start-up companies during the

pre-seed stage

Provides a competitive position for Israel’s industry with regard to

state-of-the-art technologies of global interest. The new

technologies are to be developedin a cooperative venture between

the industry and leading academic scienti c research institutions in the eld, and will provide the basis for

new high-tech productsand processes.

program is designed for research institutions with clear links to industry, to strengthen their

technology infrastructure and develop relevant technologies and

products for industry. A researchinstitute entitled to support must be an independent legal entity,

employ a team of researchers with aproven scienti c & technology abilities, have equipment for

conducting and testing R&D in industry, and earn 30% of its

revenue from industry.

aims to bridge the gap betweenthe basic research and the applied

research - a problem thatcharacterizes biotechnology and nanotechnology. A Nofar project

has 12-15 months to achieve a project milestone that makes sense to an industrial company which can decide whether to carry on or leave.

The MAGNETON program promotes the technology transfer from academia to industry via the

mutual cooperation of individual companies and speci c academic

research groups.
