The operating budget of the Weizmann Institute of Science is around 1.5 billion NIS per year. A third of this funding comes from the government of Israel. The rest of the Institute’s income is generated through scientific discoveries, competitive grants, private philanthropy, and scientific services offered by Institute core facilities to academic and commercial partners. Scientific discoveries generate significant income from licensing agreements made through Yeda, the Institute’s technology transfer arm.

The 55% increase in scientific expenditures is due, in part, to the rise in volume and cost of state-of-the-art instrumentation, which ensures that Weizmann Institute scientists can conduct research at the highest level.
