About Us

Innovation with purpose.

We are the bridge between talent and the world's most concentrated innovation ecosystem.

about us

A network that turns ideas into action.

ILAN — Israel Innovation Network — is a nonprofit organization that connects innovators across the globe with Israel's innovation ecosystem, and with each other. We are the bridge that turns a promising project into a recognized one, a recognized one into a connected one, and a connected innovator into part of a permanent international network. The work follows a sequence. First we look for talent where it is actually happening — in universities, in companies, in public institutions — through the ILAN Awards. Then we bring the strongest of them to Israel, a country that built a world-class innovation ecosystem out of almost nothing, so they can study the method up close and take what applies to their own work. Finally, we keep them together in ILAN Network, so that one week in Israel becomes years of collaboration across borders.

our values

I
Innovation

We back ideas that measurably improve life — in health, the environment, education, technology, communication, social transformation, and peace. Novelty is not our standard; improvement is.

L
Leadership

We invest in people, not only in projects. The innovators we work with lead in their own countries, in their own languages, and inside institutions they already belong to. Our job is not to take them somewhere better — it is to give them the tools, the exposure, and the standard of comparison totransform where they are.

A
Action

We favor what has already been tried. Prototypes over presentations, results over roadmaps, projects with something at stake this year rather than promises for the next one. An idea earns our attention the moment someone risks something to test it.

N
Network

Almost nothing important comes from a single mind. We connect innovators with entrepreneurs, universities, companies, and governments across seven countries and Israel, so that knowledge, partners, and opportunities travel faster than they would on their own — and so that no one in our community has to solve alone a problem someone else already solved.
