Infrastructure Assets Mapping

Israel has invested heavily—through both private and public funding—in building the physical, digital, and organizational infrastructure needed to drive healthcare innovation and bring new technologies to market, locally and globally.

After extensive work, we’re happy to make these ecosystem tools available for broad use:

Healthcare Infrastructure Assets

This infrastructure assets mapping was created to serve as a clear, usable foundation—helping the ecosystem grow faster at lower costs, and making resources accessible to those who need them most:

• Early-stage Israeli tech companies

• Entrepreneurs and researchers in health organizations, academia, and industry

• Tech and industrial companies looking to test new products or capabilities

• International entrepreneurs and companies

Defining Infrastructure

We adopted the broadest possible definition:

Infrastructure encompasses physical, digital, and organizational capabilities—including access to knowledge, expertise, networks, and data—that enable ecosystem players (startups, medical institutions, government, academia, entrepreneurs, and industry) to connect, collaborate, and accelerate innovation.

Mapping Categories

Based on this definition, we mapped organizations and assets under five main categories:

• Data Infrastructure: Data platforms, biobanks, and omics infrastructure

• Physical Infrastructure: Biomedical innovation centers, workspaces, CDMOs, and cross-disciplinary collaboration platforms

• Ecosystem Development Infrastructure: Organizations and communities, government bodies, and national mapping platforms

• Startup Support Infrastructure: Investors, accelerators, incubators, and support programs led by multinational corporations and innovation centers

• Innovation Centers in Health Organizations: All centers with a defined innovation unit, particularly public institutions

What's Not Included

• Academic infrastructure (available through IRCF)

• Hospital equipment and internal resources

• Foodtech-focused infrastructure

• Organizations inactive in fundraising, investment, or program execution over the past two years

Future Perspective

This mapping is designed to expand utilization of these infrastructures, increase transparency around existing capabilities, and foster deeper collaboration to build comprehensive knowledge and expertise bases.

Data Infrastructure Providers: Questionnaire for Future Catalog

For the infrastructure mapping to become more than a list of organizations—to become a practical tool that connects users with the right resources—it needs an additional layer of operational, comparable information: what each infrastructure actually offers, at what level of coverage and quality, and how it can be accessed.

That's exactly what this questionnaire provides. It creates a common language and a minimal dataset that enables users to understand, compare, and match infrastructures to their needs—whether for research or commercial purposes—without lengthy back-and-forth for every inquiry.

How the Questionnaire Complements the Mapping

The questionnaire adds two key dimensions:

1. Clear, Accessible Infrastructure Profile

Contact details, a concise description, differentiators, existing collaborations, and types of partnerships sought. This enables consistent presentation across website and information pages, improving visibility and matchmaking.

2. Capability Layer: Data Capacity in Practice

A systematic breakdown of data scope and domains (e.g., clinical categories), available data types, update frequency, formats (FHIR/HL7/DICOM, etc.), and access levels—from aggregated statistics to patient-level data in a secure environment. This allows users to assess upfront whether an infrastructure fits their research or development needs, and what access models are available.

This questionnaire is a tool for you—the infrastructure organizations—to increase transparency and make your resources more accessible to the industry.

Healthcare Data Infrastructure - Startup Survey Results

This mapping was accompanied by a startup survey exploring what companies need, what they currently use, and where gaps remain. Survey results are available here to inform continued infrastructure development.
