It was renamed the Israel Innovation Authority in 2016. The main aim of the Authority is to increase economic empowerment within the civilian sector of the Israeli economy. Main activities include the funding of R&D and policy-making within its sphere of influence. The development and prominence of the OCS was further strengthened by the development of the venture capital industry within Israel in the 1990s.The mission[9] of the Authority has been defined through the country’s “Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development\u20141984” (The R&D Law) and its operations are facilitated through Israel’s R&D Fund, as well as a variety of international programs, agreements and collaborations. Its mission is to assist the advancement of Israel’s knowledge-based science and technology industries in order to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship while stimulating economic growth.Legal aspects of agreements which may include R&D funding, as well as royalties, are governed under the Regulatory Framework of the Authority.[10]According to the Israel Innovation Authority, 54 percent of Israel’s exports are high-tech products and services.[11]Programs[edit]Technological incubators[edit]The Technological Incubators Incentive Program was established in 1991 and is designed for entrepreneurs, interested in establishing a startup company based on an innovative technological concept. In addition to funding, the technological incubator offers a supportive framework for the establishment of a company and development of a concept into a commercial product, providing technological, business and administrative support. Incubators are selected through competitive processes for a license period of up to five years and are spread across Israel in sectors such as Medical Devices, Pharma, Bioconvergence, Agricultural technology, Foodtech, Renewable Energy and more. In any time, there are about 20 active incubators[12][13] in Israel. Startups in the Incubators Program typically receive grants of up to 5 million Shekels, with govermnant funding of between 70% to 85%.[14]Magnet[edit]The Magnet Program was established in 1994, and manages the partnership between academic and commercial R&D programs. Significant activities include facilitation of the transfer of knowledge between academia and commercial R&D companies. Under the auspices of the Magnet Program,[15] the NOFAR[16] program was established to provide support and funding in the field of biotechnology, nanotechnology and development of medical equipment.Chief scientists and CEOs[edit]The following is a list of Chief Scientists of the Ministry of Economy (1965-2016).NameTermProf. (Brigadier General) Yitzchak Yaakov1969\u20131977Prof. Arie Lavie1977\u20131983Yigal Erlich1984\u20131992Dr. Yehoshua (Shuki) Gleitman1993\u20131996Dr. Orna Berry1997\u20132000Carmel Vernia2000\u20132002Dr. Eli Opper2002\u20132010Avi Hasson2011\u20132016Amiram Applebaum2016-TodayThe following is a list of CEOs of the Israel Innovation Authority (since 2016).References[edit]External links[edit] "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/israel-innovation-authority-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Israel Innovation Authority – Wikipedia"}}]}]
