Israel has taken a significant step to strengthen its position as a technology and innovation hub, with the Knesset Finance Committee approving a bill designed to encourage research and development as part of the 2026 State Budget and Economic Plan.

The proposed framework includes tiered tax credits linked directly to qualifying R&D expenditure, with higher credit rates as spending rises, alongside the option to convert unused credits into cash grants after three years. The bill applies to qualifying Israeli-resident companies within eligible groups that meet income and employment thresholds.

In an article published by Arnon, Tadmor-Levy, partners Ofir Levy and Boaz Feinberg and intern Hadar Shdema Zitrom outline the bill’s key details and implications.

The move comes amid record global demand for defense technology. Officials expect the process to take around a year due to national security and confidentiality requirements tied to the companies’ classified activities.
