The Israel Innovation Authority and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure today announced a NIS 6 million joint call for proposals to support research and development of breakthrough Blue-Tech Energy technologies. The initiative will promote a new generation of Israeli innovations in renewable energy technologies for the marine environment, ranging from renewable energy generation at sea to artificial intelligence-powered marine energy management systems, with the goal of strengthening Israel’s leadership in marine innovation, expanding renewable energy sources, advancing the country’s energy and climate goals, and accelerating the commercialization of Israeli research.
As the marine environment becomes an increasingly important frontier for innovation in energy, sustainability, and advanced technologies, countries around the world are investing in solutions for renewable energy generation, energy storage, alternative fuels, intelligent control systems, and marine monitoring. With its world-class research capabilities and globally recognized innovation ecosystem, Israel is well positioned to play a leading role in developing the next generation of marine energy technologies.
