1. The document discusses Israel's policy and mechanisms for promoting international cooperation in clean technology research and development. 2. Key policies include 37 government programs that provide funding, tax benefits, and incentives to support innovative R&D. 3. Major mechanisms include research centers and incubators, as well as bilateral agreements and programs supporting various stages of the cleantech industry. 4. Results show Israel has had success in patents, publications, and commercialization, with hundreds of cleantech companies and research projects supported over the years.

- 10. international cooperation in research and technologies the evidence Ministry of Environmental Protection
- 11. international cooperation in research and technologies the evidence We want to support cleantech R&D collaboration • To speed up the availability of climate change solutions • To build capacity to ‘adopt, adapt, develop, deploy and operate technologies for adaptation and mitigation effectively within specific local contexts’ • To effectively engage the private sector Climate Policy (2013): National policy and SMEs in technology transfer: the case of Israel, Climate Policy, Belman Inbal & Asaf Tzachor Ministry of Environmental Protection
- 12. international cooperation in research and technologies the evidence Nevertheless, a UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD, 2004) study on the measures used by industrialized countries to facilitate technology transfer to developing countries found that: Although several countries have adopted measures that facilitate technology innovation and transfer, “overall, the existing home-country programs are fragmented, insufficient and narrow in coverage” and concluded that “there is still a vast scope for further efforts”. The study did not provide any guidelines regarding where future efforts should be concentrated. Ministry of Environmental Protection
- 13. international cooperation in research and technologies the evidence Time to research ! We studied the performance of over 100 local SME’s in the cleantech sector, performing in-depth analysis of 45 SME’s, interviewing 20 market leading financial services firms. We identified the market failures where government intervention could increase exports of water, agriculture and renewable energy technologies to developing countries Climate Policy (2013): National policy and SMEs in technology transfer: the case of Israel, Climate Policy, Belman Inbal & Asaf Tzachor Ministry of Environmental Protection
- 14. international cooperation in research and technologies the evidence Four primary market failures were found that could account for the dearth of Israeli technology exports 1. A lack of information regarding market needs and conditions 2. A lack of appropriate instruments for financing R&D 3. Difficulties in identifying developing-country private-sector partners for collaborative R&D, marketing, and distribution of clean technologies 4. A need for funding of beta and demonstration sites in-country Climate Policy (2013): National policy and SMEs in technology transfer: the case of Israel, Climate Policy, Belman Inbal & Asaf Tzachor Ministry of Environmental Protection
- 15. Ministry of Environmental Protection the policy 2
- 16. international cooperation in research and technologies the policy Policy principles: • Execution of government policy for support of industrial R&D • Goal is not to make money but strengthen the industry • Enable but don’t lead the market – “do no harm” • 37 different programs to promote innovative R&D • Providing business tutoring, tax benefits, R&D incentives, funds and investment incentives Ministry of Environmental Protection
