Chag Sameach & Happy Easter from Bina

We were delighted to participate in the Entrepreneurship Conference organized by the Volcani Institute.
The conference highlighted the journey of a project from the laboratory to industry, presented from different perspectives.

Sharon Feirman, Head of the Bina unit, delivered a talk showcasing Bina’s unique operating model as the translational science unit at the Weizmann Institute of Science. She shared the unit’s achievements during its first five years and presented examples of projects in the fields of food and agricultural technologies.

Innovating for a Better Tomorrow
At the Weizmann Institute of Science ,ranked 6th globally for research quality by Leiden in 2025, groundbreaking discoveries are part of the scientific landscape. However, the path from basic research to industry is full of obstacles, with genuine gaps between academic breakthroughs and market perspectives.

Five years ago, Bina was established with the goal of ensuring that brilliant science developed at Weizmann is translated into real-world impact.

From lab bench to leadership
We hosted Rotem Tidhar, GM and VP R&D at TripleW, for a fascinating conversation about careers, choices, and the people who shape them.

TripleW is a circular bioeconomy company that transforms food waste into high-value biochemicals, turning a global challenge into an opportunity for sustainable growth – a powerful example of science meeting real-world impact.
