BIRD’s Approach in a Nutshell BIRD helps in finding strategic partners (“matchmaking”)

BIRD ff diti l t f j i t d l t

pp

BIRD offers conditional grants for joint development on a risk sharing basis (private sector cost-share)

BIRD funds up to 50% of each company’s R&D expensesBIRD funds up to 50% of each company s R&D expenses associated with the joint project

BIRD claims repayments as royalties only if commercial revenues are generated from the project (repayments: up to 150% of the original conditional grant, CPI adjusted)

As an example of mutual benefit: U S company benefitsAs an example of mutual benefit: U.S. company benefits from access to innovation and IP; Israeli company benefits from complementary required capabilities and market access (other combinations are possible e gaccess (other combinations are possible, e.g., complementary technologies)
