Chag Sameach & Happy Easter from Bina

Flame Retardant (FR) Materials Challenge - Led by Dr. Reut Mashiach

Flame-retardant (FR) materials are often overlooked but an essential part of modern technologies.
The discussion brought together Weizmann Institute of Science researchers in materials science, environmental research, and computational science, and Bina's domain expert Dr. Hila Elimelech.

Dr. Ronny Costi and Dr. Eran Gluz from FRontier Growth & Innovation (ICL Group) shared insights into FR applications across electronics, textiles, construction, and energy systems.

Bina Flash Talks, a new forum designed to showcase translational research and foster dialogue across disciplines.
The event opened with remarks by Prof. Anthony (Tony) H. Futerman, Vice President for Innovation and Technology Transfer, who introduced the Bina model and reflected on the applied legacy of Prof. Haim Garty, in whose memory the event was held.

We then heard four inspiring flash talks from:
Prof. Tamir Klein
Prof. Ronny Neumann
Prof. Boris Rybtchinski
Dr. Leeat Keren

Session 4 focused on market & competitive analysis and building IP literacy:

Dr. Mor Vered unpacked what market analysis and competitive analysis are, why they are important, and shared practical tools to run them - how to scope the space, identify competitors, and translate findings into decisions.

Sheryl Sharon Sabban, Patent Attorney, introduced IP fundamentals - what IP means legally, what a patent looks like, and how to read and evaluate it with an eye to novelty, claims, and freedom to operate.
