INNOFENSE is an innovation center for dual-use technological projects in the civilian and security sectors. The center was created in a collaboration between the Israel Ministry of Defense, MAFAT (Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure), and the IDF air and ground arms; and will be operated by iHLS and SOSA.
The program is designed to strengthen the links between the civilian and defense markets via the collaborative development of technologies, thus advancing and improving their integration in both markets.
iHLS will support the startups in business development, penetration to relevant markets, legal advice, and networking and investments. Each project will receive the sum of NIS 200,000 upon entrance to the program, in addition to support from the innovation center, Ministry of Defense, MAFAT and the IDF ground and air force arms.
