Semiconductor Funding & Growth

​

Bio

​

The Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) is a major source of funding for technology companies in Israel. The talk will introduce the IIA and how it works, and then focus on two tracks that are especially relevant to semiconductor companies: the Startup Fund track, in which the IIA takes part in the company's funding round alongside investors, and the Advanced Manufacturing track, in which the IIA funds R&D activity for companies that intend to manufacture in Israel. Participants will learn which track fits their company's stage and how to submit a winning application!
