Meytav Technological Incubator

Meytav Technological Incubator is an Israeli life sciences incubator located in Kiryat Shmona, specializing in the development of early-stage biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device startups. Founded in 1991, it operates under the framework of the Israel Innovation Authority's incubator program, providing essential funding, laboratory facilities, and business mentorship to bridge the gap between academic research and commercialization. In 2010, the incubator was acquired by BioLineRx, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, to serve as a primary source for its drug development pipeline. Meytav focuses on identifying high-potential therapeutic candidates and medical technologies, supporting them through the critical proof-of-concept and early development phases. The incubator has been instrumental in fostering the biotech ecosystem in the Galilee region and has nurtured numerous companies that have progressed to clinical stages.
