Business & Collaborations

As aligned with its strategic vision, MIGAL invests considerable effort and activity in its connections with entrepreneurs in agriculture and the food industry. 

The institute engages in close contact with farmers, entrepreneurs, industrialists, and relevant regional organizations to implement the knowledge, technologies, infrastructure and tools developed at MIGAL. Such contact is maintained on regional, national and international levels.

Business - right

MIGAL has several ways of delivering knowledge to the industry. In light of recent efforts by the Israeli government to strengthen the Galilee region and establish the Agri-Food Tech Valley in it,  the institute develops the necessary infrastructure and tools for injecting knowledge and scientific access to the region. 

Food Institutes, accelerators, and technological incubators are examples of such infrastructure, and have already enabled the launch of knowledge-based ventures created by MIGAL.
