BIRAD Research & Development Ltd.

Our Vision

Technology as a Force for Good
Innovation is not a byproduct of great universities — it is one of their highest obligations. Bar-Ilan University has always understood that the knowledge generated within its research centers carries a responsibility that extends far beyond academic publication. It must be protected, developed, and ultimately placed in the hands of those who can transform it into solutions the world actually needs. BIRAD was founded on this conviction, and it remains the principle that drives everything we do.

Our Purpose
BIRAD serves as the bridge between Bar-Ilan University's intellectual output and the global marketplace. We identify discoveries with real-world potential, secure robust patent protection for Bar-Ilan's inventions, and work tirelessly to maximize their commercial value — through licensing agreements, industry partnerships, and the creation of spin-out companies. In doing so, we generate an additional and meaningful revenue stream for the University, one that flows directly back into the research and education that makes future breakthroughs possible.

What We Believe
We believe that academic research, when properly translated, has the power to reshape industries, address critical challenges in health, technology, and sustainability, and create substantial economic value for the communities around it. Bar-Ilan University is a natural breeding ground for this kind of transformative innovation — a place where curiosity, rigor, and ambition converge. BIRAD's role is to ensure that none of that potential goes unrealized.

Our Commitment to Israel and Beyond
Israel's strength as a global innovation hub rests on the ability of its institutions to move knowledge from the laboratory to the market with speed and integrity. BIRAD is committed to being a catalyst for that process — positioning Bar-Ilan as the leading force in academic technology transfer in Israel, and as a trusted partner for industry and investors around the world. Our ambition is not only to generate commercial success, but to improve lives, support local economic development, and demonstrate that academic excellence and real-world impact are not competing goals — they are the same goal.
