About MIGAL
Rooted in the northern Galilee and reaching across global frontiers, we are a multidisciplinary research institute driving innovation in agri-tech, food, biotechnology, and environmental science. With a unique fusion of academic excellence and applicative orientation, MIGAL stands at the intersection of knowledge creation and hands-on implementation.
What makes MIGAL unique is our deep connection to the land and its people. Our researchers don’t just study the world — they help shape it alongside farmers, entrepreneurs, students, and local leaders. As a regional powerhouse, we play a central role in strengthening the local economy, advancing sustainable development, and fostering science that’s rooted in place yet designed for global relevance.
Since the establishment of Tel-Hai University, MIGAL serves as the university’s commercialization and technology transfer engine—advancing partnerships with industry and investors, protecting and managing IP, and supporting the path from research to real-world application. Through this role, MIGAL helps translate academic excellence into impactful solutions for the Galilee and beyond.
Mission-Driven, Future-Focused
At MIGAL, research is never abstract — it is always connected to real challenges and real opportunities.
We believe in science that grows solutions: smarter agriculture, resilient food systems, cleaner environments, and technologies that serve both people and planet. This applied approach drives everything we do — from academic research and pilot projects to policy influence and grassroots partnerships.
Our mission is to bridge knowledge and action, and to translate scientific excellence into tools, practices, and innovations that empower communities, strengthen ecosystems, and shape a better future.
Who We Are
We are a community of researchers, students, and innovators driven by curiosity and a shared responsibility to make an impact. MIGAL blends the spirit of academia with the agility of entrepreneurship and the groundedness of regional engagement.
Whether in the lab, the field, or the policy arena, we champion interdisciplinary thinking, open collaboration, and science with purpose.
