Get Involved
Whether you're an investor, philanthropist, or advocate for Israel's future, there are meaningful ways to engage with the aerospace and defense sector. By supporting Israeli innovation, you help strengthen national security, drive economic growth, and advance technologies with global impact. Explore the pathways below to get involved.
Ways to Participate
Direct Investments
Investing directly in Israeli aerospace and defense startups offers a unique opportunity to support Israel’s strategic industries while participating in the potential for significant capital growth. These companies operate at the forefront of defense innovation, and early-stage investment can help fuel job creation, strengthen the national economy, and accelerate breakthrough technologies. For investors seeking both impact and upside, direct engagement provides a powerful way to contribute to Israel’s future.
Venture Capital Firms
For investors seeking broad exposure to Israel’s defense and aerospace innovation, partnering with an established Israeli A&D venture capital firm offers a streamlined and strategic approach. These firms actively source, vet, and invest in a diverse portfolio of high-potential companies — from early-stage startups to growth-phase technologies. By investing through a VC fund, individuals and institutions can participate in the sector’s upside without the burden of conducting due diligence on each company independently. It’s an efficient way to support Israel’s innovation ecosystem while benefiting from professional fund management and sector expertise.
Venture Charity
Our venture charity model allows donors to make tax-deductible contributions that are issued as zero-interest loans to Israeli aerospace and defense startups. This approach fuels economic growth by supporting job creation, innovation, and industrial development — all without exposing the donor to financial risk. It’s a powerful way to contribute to Israel’s future while receiving the full benefit of charitable giving.
Referrals
At the Israel Aerospace and Technology Forum, we believe that growth is best achieved together. Our referral program empowers current members and partners to introduce new innovators, investors, and collaborators to the community. By referring colleagues, peers, or organizations, you help expand the network of expertise and opportunity that drives Israel’s aerospace and technology sectors forward. Every referral strengthens the ecosystem, creating new connections, fostering collaboration, and amplifying the impact of our collective work.
