The National Program for Alternative Energy Technologies

The National Program for Alternative Energy Technologies was
established in August 2008. Building on decades of Israeli experience
in the field of alternative energy, the objective of the national
program is to keep Israel's alternative energy industry at the
forefront of the world renewable energy arena. Israeli alternative
energy companies are considered to be industry pioneers in solar
thermal and geothermal technologies and are also leading innovations
in the fields of bio-mass, wind and solar technologies.

The program is led by the Ministry of Industry Trade and Labor
hand in hand with the Ministry of National Infrastructure and eight
other government ministries. The Israeli government, recognizing the
strategic importance of the alternative energy technologies, has
created a comprehensive program that brings private sector,
government and academy to join forces.

The program is focused in nourishing the human resource, investing
in R&D, implementing technologies in the local market and penetrating
the global market.
