Evidence snapshot for Rehovot
Yeda Research and Development — Weizmann Institute's Technology Transfer Company (Rehovot) is located in Rehovot, Israel, and is the wholly owned commercialisation arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science, established in 1959 to license the Institute's research inventions to industry. The company has generated an estimated $50–100 million in annual royalties by 2013 and driven over $23 billion in cumulative global product sales by 2022 through blockbuster licenses such as Copaxone (for multiple sclerosis), Rebif, and Erbitux, while returning roughly 40% of royalty income to inventing scientists. The evidence shows that roughly 120 spin-off startups have been founded on Weizmann Institute research through 2024, though the practices demonstrate that Yeda's revenue model is concentrated in a small number of blockbuster licenses rather than a broad portfolio.
