The intersection of biopharma, information technology and engineering is an important building block in supporting global public health goals. The agreement, initiated by kENUP Foundation, aims at deepening the links between Israel and the EU, fostering innovation in the region, closing investment gaps and jointly assuming global leadership in the area of bio-convergence. Ultimately, it is set to benefit Israeli and European citizens and corporations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of this Memorandum of Understanding, the EIB is supporting Pluristem through its German subsidiary Pluristem GmbH, with a venture debt loan of \u20ac50 million. Pluristem is a regenerative medicine company with a focus on novel biological&nbsp;products. The company uses cells derived from placenta&nbsp;for the development of product candidates for the treatment of severe medical conditions such as infections, inflammation, ischemia, muscle injury, haematological disorder or acute radiation syndrome. It has recently extended its activity in response to the coronavirus pandemic and treated several COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure under the \u201ccompassionate use\u201d programme, a treatment option which allows the use of unauthorised medicine for severely ill patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The financing will support Pluristem\u2019s research and development in the EU, notably its regenerative cell therapy platform. It will also allow the company to push its advanced clinical pipeline towards marketing. Pluristem will receive the financing in three tranches, subject to the achievement of pre-agreed clinical regulatory and scaling up milestones. The first tranche will consist of \u20ac 20 million. The company is the first Israeli-European business to benefit from a guarantee from the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the financial centre-piece of the Investment Plan for Europe, in which the EIB and the European Commission are working together to mobilise investment in the EU.&nbsp;<a>Pluristem was previously funded by the Israel Innovation Authority.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s signatures show that we are successful when we stand together,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Ambroise Fayolle<\/strong>, EIB Vice-President in charge of innovation. \u201cIsrael is home to a thriving scene of innovative startups, which dominate the high-tech industry. Pluristem is an excellent example of Israeli-European cooperation and EIB support for them is particularly timely, as it will allow the company to develop a treatment for the most vulnerable COVID-19 patients. Working together often saves time and resources \u2013 in this case it has the potential to save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Ami Appelbaum<\/strong>, Chairman, Israel Innovation Authority and Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Economy and Industry, explained: \u201cIsrael views bio-convergence as its next economic growth engine. This innovative approach serves as an engine to find efficient, diverse and ingenious approaches to health problem solving. It integrates biology with engineering, AI, physics, computation, nanotechnology and material science in order to address unmet needs in numerous industries, including health, agriculture, energy and defence. The collaboration between the European Investment Bank and the Israel Innovation Authority provides a unique opportunity to advance this area providing companies with various financing opportunities from early stage to growth. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads globally, it is of vital importance to employ cutting edge technological innovation with global outreach to provide the much needed relief the world is looking for.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European Commission Executive Vice-President&nbsp;<strong>Valdis Dombrovskis<\/strong>&nbsp;said: \u201cThe Investment Plan for Europe has a strong track record of supporting ground-breaking research and development in the health sector. Pluristem is carrying out highly innovative and crucial work in the fight against coronavirus, now boosted by financial backing from the EU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EU Ambassador to Israel&nbsp;<strong>Emanuele Giaufret<\/strong>&nbsp;said: \u201cA coordinated global response is needed to fight COVID-19, and the EU is launching a worldwide pledging marathon precisely to ensure that the world works together to find safe, effective and affordable treatments, diagnostics and vaccines. Today\u2019s important agreement with the EIB will help to develop promising treatment for coronavirus, and is yet another achievement of the EU and Israel, strengthening our cooperation in research and innovation. We thank Israeli researchers for their efforts, and look forward to continued joint work for the benefit of all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pluristem CEO and President&nbsp;<strong>Yaky Yanay<\/strong>&nbsp;stated: \u201cPluristem would like to thank the EIB for its financial support and its commitment to finding an effective treatment for life-threatening medical conditions, among them complications associated with COVID-19. Our company\u2019s mission of harnessing the power of regenerative medicine to improve the wellbeing of an aging population has become more urgent than ever, as we work tirelessly to develop a treatment for COVID-19 complications while advancing our portfolio of products in advanced stage trials to treat a number of indications that may positively impact on global healthcare systems. We are honoured to become the first Israeli-European company to benefit from a guarantee from the European Fund for Strategic Investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The signature event was in the auspices of:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambroise Fayolle, Vice President, EIB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emanuele Giaufret, Ambassador, EU Delegation to Israel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amiram Applebaum, Chairman of the Israel Innovation Authority and Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Economy and Industry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yaky Yany, CEO Pluristem<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zami Aberman, Executive Chairman, Pluristem<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>European Investment Bank<\/strong>&nbsp;is the long-term lending institution of the European Union owned by its Member States.
