Fostering collaborations

GFI Israel is dedicated to fostering collaboration on a global scale, bringing together diverse stakeholders to address the challenges of the alternative protein industry.

Through our efforts, we want to grow a base for  comprehensive knowledge and collaboration , leveraging the strengths of each stakeholder to drive innovation and progress. We work to increase awareness within various ecosystems and across sectors, spanning various academic departments, food industries, and adjacent sectors.

Additionally, these initiatives create precedents for additional funding opportunities, ensuring long-term funding security and sustainability for researchers and companies in the sector.

Recent collaborations


Most recently, in May 2024, the World Economic Forum (WEF), in collaboration with the Israel Innovation Authority and GFI Israel, published a comprehensive report on the potential of alternative proteins to address global challenges, emphasizing the role of national leadership in advancing efficient, safe, and sustainable protein production methods.

As the organization’s first report exclusively dedicated to this topic, highlighting the transformative impact that alternative proteins can have, it outlines Israel as a case study and underscores that “By promoting research and investment in alternative proteins, governments around the world can lead the way to a better future in the food sector.” This unique international collaboration aims to foster global awareness and drive action in the alternative protein sector.

Take a look at some additional collaborations we’ve promoted and participated in:

  1. Food tech call on alternative proteins for R&D and innovation projects between Sweden, Israel, Switzerland, and Singapore
  2. BARD food and nutrition program
  3. France-Israel Scientific Research Program call for joint research proposals
  4. BIRD Foundation call for proposals for R&D cooperation
  5. Singapore-Israel R&D Foundation (SIIRD) call for proposals – Special Grants to Cooperation in Agritech, Foodtech, and Healthtech
