Due to its lack of oil reserves, Israel is dependant on expensive oil imports from far away suppliers. In light of the country's rapid economic and population growth it has become challenging to supply its own peak electricity demands. These challenges are inspiring Israeli researchers and entrepreneurs to work on cutting-edge alternative energy technologies.
There are over 100 companies in Israel today providing breakthrough solutions in renewable energy. Israeli alternative energy companies are considered industry pioneers in solar thermal and geothermal technologies and are also leading innovations in the fields of bio-mass, wind, wave and energy efficiency technologies.
Leading the way in renewable energy research innovation:
- 100 start-ups dedicated to developing alternative energy technologies
- Pioneering invention in domestic solar water heating
- Israeli breakthrough - the world's largest thermal solar plant in the California Mojave desert
Israel is the only country Singapore has partnered to establish a bi-national fund to support joint industrial R&D collaborations (SIIRD – www.siird.com). With Israel's vast network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and leadership in the CleanTech sector, Israel can be your next Technology Partner.
The Singapore Business Federation, together with Embassy of Israel, is planning a business mission to Israel this June to visit Israeli companies in the cleantech sector and also to visit the CleanTech exhibition. The visit program also includes 1-on-1 pre-scheduled meetings with Israeli companies according to your interests.
Join us at this seminar to find out more!
