CIIRDF
- Canada-Israel Industrial R&D Foundation
The
Canada-Israel Industrial Research & Development Foundation (CIIRDF)
was established in 1994
to promote collaborative R&D between firms in Canada and Israel.
CIIRDF resulted from the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on
Bilateral Cooperation in Private Sector Industrial Research &
Development, by the Government of Israel and the Government of Canada.
Both the governments of Israel and of Canada each contributed CDN $1
million per year, for an initial three-year period. Their commitment was
renewed in February 1997 for another three years and in 2000 for an
additional 5-year period.
CIIRDF
is involved in essentially three kinds of main activities:
·
The
first core function of CIIRDF is one of promotion and marketing.
Simply put, the foundation is engaged in activities that stress the
benefit to companies in one country of R&D collaboration with those in
the other.
·
The
second function of CIIRDF is to provide a matchmaking service to
companies in either country that seek compatible research partners with
the other. This function
covers a spectrum of activities ranging from that of simply providing
summary profiles of prospective partners to that of acting as an agent on
behalf of firms, in many cases making the direct contacts and becoming
involved in two-way negotiations between the prospective partners.
·
The
third and most visible activity is that of providing financial support,
in the form of repayable grants, to projects by contributing up to 50% of
the joint R&D costs. This contribution is repayable should there be
commercial revenues arising from the project.
