About Us

We are a foundation that generates value by recognizing and promoting the talent of innovators, linking them with Israeli innovation to identify the main challenges, generate solution proposals and thus improve people’s lives and the development of their countries.

Israeli Innovation Model

Israel is a young state that gained its independence in 1948 and is also one of the most innovative countries in the world. This Middle Eastern nation has achieved thanks to its culture and a solid motivation to develop innovation, which we can describe as the Innovation Triangle because it unites wills. On the one hand, that of the government as a promoter; secondly, those of universities and entrepreneurs; and finally, the private sector. In other words, promoting, knowing, and undertaking as fully synchronized axes of a new low-cost development engine, which Israel has achieved.

First place in the world by number of startups per capita.

Reached position 9 in the World Happiness Report 2022, following the countries of northern Europe, founded hundreds of years ago.

The highest number of Engineers per capita and the second highest R&D expenditure in the world as a percentage of GDP (4.7%).

Country with the highest use of solar energy for water heating in the world, with 83%.

In the last 30 years, the Israeli GDP went from 100,000 million USD to 410,000 million USD. GDP per capita from 16,000 USD to 44,000 USD. All this is only with technology.

The only country that entered the 21st century with more trees than it had in the previous century.

High indicators of water treatment: it treats 92% of the liquid, returning 72% to its agriculture.

Our history

The idea of creating ILAN was born from the inspiration of a man who marked my life in the last 10 years; the former president of Israel Shimon Peres, a man who had a clear vision that, through technology and innovation, it is possible to improve the lives of millions of people.

I ever asked him, what is the secret that so many people love you? And he replied, “It’s very easy: you have to serve the public, not use the public.”

A noble and authentic spirit of service and help distinguished him.
One of his wonderful phrases, which motivates me the most, is “As long as you have more dreams than achievements, you are young”. Shimon Peres, at 92 years old, died young because he had more dreams than years.
