The Israel Innovation Institute, a non-profit founded to support Israeli entrepreneurs and companies that aim to address global challenges, has launched a new knowledge and training hub to foster innovation ecosystems.
The new CatalystIL hub aims to empower organizations in “refining their innovation management skills”. It will help startups identify challenges, compare existing solutions that address global issues, and implement processes within their businesses to encourage innovation.
It previously offered an innovation managers’ course, but the non-profit has shifted the mission of CatalystIL to offer knowledge and expertise to organizations that want to become more innovative, especially in sectors with challenging markets.
“Tremendous efforts, and many billions are invested in research and development to deal with the growing global challenges,” said Sharon Goldberg, director of CatalystIL.
“These have resulted in an explosion of knowledge, but the translation of this knowledge into workable solutions is quite slow, and these have a high failure rate,” she said.
“I am excited to lead CatalystIL, which will leverage the capabilities of the Israel Innovation Institute to develop and implement innovation, and promote international innovation ecosystems to solve global challenges, and turn the Startup Nation into an Impact Nation.”
The Israeli Innovation Institute was founded in 2011, and has since accelerated the advancement and implementation of solutions in fields such as smart transportation, digital health, agriculture, climate change, desertification and aquaculture. It has already helped over 2,500 Israeli startups, connecting them with essential resources, investors, academia, government bodies, and policy makers.
