Ministry of Economy and Industry
Funds Ministry of Economy and Industry of Israel, directing industrial support and competitiveness investment.
The Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry funds capital investment, manufacturing, employment, and green-economy transitions across Israeli industry. Its grant-issuing arm — the Authority for Investments and Development of the Industry and Economy — operates under the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law (ECIL, 1959) to provide grants and benefits to the industrial and business sectors.
The Investment Authority runs three grant families: (1) ECIL capital grants for factory establishment, expansion, and relocation in national priority areas; (2) employment integration tracks targeting high-wage job creation and special-population absorption; and (3) green-economy tracks supporting industrial decarbonisation under Israel's carbon-tax framework. All grants are published as Director General Directives (4.x series) and administered via the Kalkalit digital platform.
Note: R&D and deep-tech grants commonly attributed to the Israeli government are issued by the Israel Innovation Authority (il-iia), which is operationally independent despite sitting within the Ministry's policy umbrella. MOEI's own investment authority focuses on manufacturing, capital investment, and employment — not R&D.
