MOFET Fund – From Development to Manufacturing

The Challenge: The “Valley” Between Development and Manufacturing

Completed product development? It’s time to build your manufacturing infrastructure in Israel

From Development to Manufacturing Track (MOFET Fund) – Bridging the Gap Between Prototype and Production Line

At Spark Consultants, we support technology-oriented industrial companies in securing grants for establishing advanced production lines, improving processes, and turning innovation into industrial reality.

Many companies encounter financial and technological challenges exactly at the point where the product is ready, but its manufacturing process has not yet been defined or established.
The From Development to Manufacturing track of the MOFET Fund (Israel Innovation Authority) is designed to provide the funding and support required to establish innovative and competitive manufacturing facilities and production lines in Israel.

What Does the Program Offer?

The program supports R&D plans focused on improving manufacturing processes or developing processes for new products.

Grant Rate: Between 30% and 50% of approved R&D expenses (with potential increases of up to 70% in Development Zone A)
Recognition of Unique Expenses: Funding for mold development, construction of dedicated manufacturing machines (machine prototypes), knowledge acquisition, and marketing
Strategic Advantage: The grant enables companies to retain intellectual property (IP) and manufacturing in Israel while leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies (Smart Manufacturing)

Who Is It For?

The program is intended for technology-oriented industrial companies (from medium-high or high-tech industries) that meet one of the following conditions:

Companies preparing for the manufacturing phase of an innovative product
Companies producing tangible products and seeking to significantly upgrade their manufacturing processes
Companies with annual revenues of up to ₪250 million (subject to updated program guidelines)

Supported Manufacturing Processes

Below are examples of manufacturing processes supported by the program (one or more):

Development of machines / production facilities / pilot facilities / testing facilities / calibration facilities in the transition from development to manufacturingExample: Developing a dedicated machine to support a new product transitioning from a laboratory product to a mass-produced product
Development of machines / production facilities / pilot facilities / testing facilities / calibration facilities enabling advanced manufacturing technologies Example: Transitioning from batch production to a continuous manufacturing process incorporating advanced control systems across production stages
Execution of analyses / experiments / calculations aimed at determining and validating manufacturing parameters. Example: Conducting experiments based on newly defined parameters to enable operation of a semi-industrial facility
Development of manufacturing processes that enhance product properties Example: Developing thermal or energy-based processes that significantly improve the mechanical or electrical properties of the product
