Elron Ventures

Elron Ventures is a publicly traded Israeli technology investment firm founded in 1962. It invests at the early-growth stage and builds companies, with a sector focus spanning cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, deep tech and defense tech. Its stated remit is to turn promising technologies into global businesses, supported by technological, operational and commercial expertise provided to portfolio companies.

The firm's origins lie in bridging the gap between Israel's defense and university R&D and commercial industry, a role that placed it among the pioneers of the country's technology sector. That lineage informs a sector footprint that extends beyond its core themes to medical imaging, semiconductors, telecommunications and medical devices. Elron Ventures operates from Israel with a global orientation.

In addition to direct investing, Elron Ventures pursues acquisitions of early-stage dual-use defense technology companies - technologies serving both defense and civilian markets - through RDC, a joint venture with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The vehicle combines the firm's decades of company-building experience with Rafael's defense technology base.
