Funding Opportunities for U.S.- Israel Quantum and Optoelectronics Collaborations
April 23, 2025
Join us for a special webinar on:
Funding Opportunities (up to $1.5M) for U.S. – Israel Quantum and Optoelectronics Collaborations
Join us for an exciting webinar where we will explore how innovative companies from Colorado and Israel can tap into non-dilutive funding opportunities through the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD Foundation).
The BIRD Foundation, a joint initiative of the U.S. and Israeli governments, supports partnerships between companies from both countries -from start-ups to established enterprises to drive mutually beneficial innovation and collaboration.
BIRD provides non-dilutive funding covering up to 50% of project development costs, funding up to $1.5M per project and matchmaking support between U.S. and Israeli companies. BIRD takes no equity in the companies.
