Impact Investing

Impact investing aims to provide an economic-business response to social or environmental problems and seeks to produce quantifiable social or environmental benefit alongside economic profit.

In the Health Service

Innovative technology, currently being developed by the SensPD corporation, that enables the early objective identification of autism and Sensio Robotics' creative solution for preventing the spread of disease by mosquitos. These two revolutionary developments – both of which have improved the lives of millions – started out with the support of the Israel Innovation Authority.

Enhancing Educational Technologies

Initiatives that harness technology to create a meaningful educational impact are driving the continuously developing world of ed-tech. Eureka World takes pupils on a virtual 3D creative learning experience while Annoto transforms online video courses into a collaborative and active learning experience. This is how the Innovation Authority is helping to generate change.

Entrepreneurship that Creates Employment and Change

A medical device that reduces retinal damage in diabetics, the world's first property management computer, and a platform for smart beauty advice and personalized makeup tutorials – three technological developments launched with the support of the Innovation Authority that promote women, ultra-Orthodox and Israeli Arab entrepreneurs.

On Understanding and Accessibility

An audio sign that assists people with impaired vision to travel independently on public transport, a touch-less system for controlling smartphones, and a smart robotic wheelchair that helps mobility-restricted people – three technological developments that are changing the lives of those with disabilities and influencing their surroundings.

Revolutionary Solutions for Hunger Prevention

Global warming, population growth, and a lack of agricultural expertise and resources demand revolutionary solutions in order to prevent famine. The OKO Corporation offers easy insurance for agricultural crops in remote locations, and Hargol FoodTech's unique technology, developed with the assistance of the Innovation Authority, enables supply of a nutritious grasshopper protein.
