Discover how innovative companies from Colorado and Israel can collaborate to access up to $1.5M in non-dilutive funding through the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD Foundation) at a special webinar.

This is more than just funding—it’s a strategic partnership backed by the U.S. and Israeli governments. A BIRD Foundation award carries credibility and opens doors to commercial and investment opportunities.

Omer Carmel, Director of Business Development (Israel), and Anat Ben Yosef, Director, Southern U.S., will present the BIRD model—how it works, what makes a strong proposal, and how to access both funding and matchmaking support.

Featured speakers include

• Dr. Hrant Gharibyan, PhD (BlueQubit, U.S.)
• Dr. Tal David (Quantum Art, Israel)

Panelists will share insights from their ongoing BIRD-funded quantum collaboration.
