Agrinnovation is an investment fund established in 2015, dedicated to supporting agricultural innovations developed within The Hebrew University's Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment. The fund collaborates closely with Yissum, the university's technology transfer company, to identify and commercialize promising technologies.

Agrinnovation's portfolio companies are at various stages of development, from seed to late-stage investments, reflecting the fund's commitment to fostering growth across the agritech sector. With a team of experienced professionals, Agrinnovation conducts thorough evaluations of each technology's applicability, scalability, and patentability. Once a technology demonstrates commercial viability, the fund, in partnership with its Commercial Advisory Board, meticulously researches and tests the project's commercial feasibility before investing and transforming it into a commercial startup. This comprehensive approach underscores Agrinnovation's dedication to advancing agricultural innovations and contributing to the global agritech ecosystem.
