Collaboration with Industry
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
It is mandatory that all researchers consult with Yissum prior to collaborating with an industry partner.
Yissum is here to protect the rights’ of all researchers and of the Hebrew University, ensuring that all decisions and agreements are in your best interest, ideas are properly preserved, negotiations are beneficial, and identify the type of collaboration.

Below are our most common strategies for collaboration.
Together with Yissum we will define your project’s needs and strategy.

License
In this agreement our industrial partner receives a license to use Hebrew University’s Intellectual Property (IP) or Know How in exchange for financial consideration. There are a variety of different agreements.

Spin-off
In this strategy a license is granted by Yissum to a new startup company, established to advance the technology towards product development.
The company is based on the technology of the Hebrew University. Many spin-offs become independent companies with highly successful products, trade on public markets, or are acquired by Multinational Corporation or Company.
