The Weizmann Innovation Nest (WIN)
The innovation ecosystem comprises of three separate but interrelated units within the Institute. Together, they leverage basic research breakthroughs from the Institute’s world-renowned labs, nurture the most promising applicative projects until they are ripe for the creation of intellectual property (IP), and, as needed, offer an incubator for them to grow into viable commercial entities. Based on Weizmann’s IP, more than 110 spinoff companies have been founded.
