Chag Sameach & Happy Easter from Bina

Welcome Dr. Shani Blumenreich - Kashani, Innovation Analyst, Life Sciences at Bina.

Session 3 of Bina Innovation Fellows program focused on technology evaluation and turning ideas into testable plans:

Dr. Sharon Kredo-Russo (SVP Research & Discovery, Compugen) gave us practical tools to evaluate academic technologies - how to frame the unmet need, assess novelty, and articulate why our approach is better than alternatives. She then walked us through planning a PoC - workplan, milestones, success criteria, and budget - what to define up front and how to measure progress.

Session 2 took us from the investor lens to the incubator model and all the way to a founder’s journey.

Dr. Tamar Farfel-Becker, PhD (YEDA - Technology Transfer Company of Weizmann Institute of Science) unpacked the venture capital world and how opportunities look through an investor’s eyes - what matters, why timing and fit are key, and how to speak the language of value.
