Yissum - R&D company of the Hebrew University

YISSUM is more than a tech transfer company.

We are a home for researchers, industry partners, and entrepreneurs who believe in the power of innovative ideas to change the world.

Founded in 1964 as the world’s third tech transfer company, we bring over 60 years of proven expertise in licensing and commercialization. We connect groundbreaking research from the Hebrew University with global markets – backed by a strong record of partnerships, economic growth, and impact.

Innovation means different things to different audiences: for a researcher it is a scientific breakthrough, for industry it is a technology that drives competitive advantage, and for an entrepreneur it is the vision of a new venture. Whatever your innovation means to you, we work with you to turn pioneering research from the Hebrew University into real-world impact.

We are committed to open dialogue with every researcher, industry partner, and investor – to understand your needs and work together to create win-win solutions and partnerships that bring innovation to life in the most effective, relevant, and sustainable way.

From the first spark to global success, we walk the journey with you. With deep academic roots, strong industry collaborations, global market insight, and personalized engagement, we offer a unique ecosystem of support, connection, and shared purpose. Our ecosystem provides not only the extraordinary portfolio of technologies and knowledge from the Hebrew University, but also direct access to the full potential of the Hebrew University’s research and collaborations.

We are dedicated to empowering great minds and their cutting-edge ideas – by shaping the right strategies, finding the right partners, and facilitating the right opportunities to thrive in the marketplace.

Now, we are shaping a future where every innovator feels seen, empowered, and inspired.
