Israel Innovation Authority issues call for proposals for joint R&D projects with U.S. companies

The Israel Innovation Authority is inviting Israeli technology companies to submit proposals for industrial R&D and pilot projects with U.S. companies. The deadline for submission is September 1, 2020.

The call is intended to provide Israelis with an opportunity to receive grants to work with their American partners on special projects. The program is operated in cooperation with four U.S. states: New York, New Jersey, Colorado, and Indiana. Participants from those states must submit separate applications for funding.

The Israel Innovation Authority is the investment arm of the Israeli government, operating under the Ministry of Economy. The applicants will be eligible for a grant of up to 50% of the approved R&D costs, in the form of a conditional grant.

Participants are encouraged to send proposals before the deadline to have a chance to work alongside American companies and innovators.
