A.T.I. Ashkelon:
The Road to Revenue
The A.T.I. Ashkelon technological
business center invites inventors
and entrepreneurs to realize their
business potential
/ By Ynon Avishar
Every scientific and technological
entrepreneur dreams of transforming a
brilliant idea into a productive business
venture. One impressive success
was recently achieved by an Israeli
company cultivated at ATI, the Ashkelon
Technological Industries businesstechnology
center. The company’s
excellent idea led to the sale of the firm
to a giant multinational corporation for
David Wazana
$120 million.
David Wazana, the energetic Managing Director of ATI, says
that the role of his technological center is to transform abstract
ideas into prosperous businesses. ATI helps firms develop concepts
into business entities in fields including medical equipment, biomedicine,
dental equipment, energy, environmental projects,
advanced materials, nanotechnology, water treatment and
communications.
Managing Director Wazana and the ATI board of directors
help draw strategic investors to projects with the potential to
earn high profits. ATI opens the gates to private, institutional and
venture-capital firms, and offers a team of skilled technological
and business development experts to support the projects through
all steps of the path of business success.
Another significant advantage ATI provides for researchers and
entrepreneurs is world class marketing connections to support the
product's technological development and commercial marketing.
ATI has strong ties in Asia (China, Taiwan and South Korea),
Europe and the United States.
Wazana notes that “In twenty years, we've built an enormous
amount of experience. We are able to recognize success stories from
the start, by thoroughly examining the business and technological
aspects of an idea. ATI may be seen as a technological capital
fund, which offers excellent terms for advancing new projects
and financial support from government, private investor and
strategic funds.”
The ATI technological business center, began in the early 1990's
as a tech incubator. But it is highly regarded for its success in
bringing to life brilliant ideas for high-profit business projects.
In addition to wise, caring guidance for entrepreneurs, ATI
recommends setting up shop in Ashkelon – a vibrant and strategically
located city, with convenient train routes to the Haifa and Ashdod
ports and Ben Gurion International Airport.
ATI has already founded several successful industrial
manufacturers. These companies now have operations throughout
the countriy, from Rehovot and Ashdod to Jerusalem and Netivot. For
instance, Nutralease, located in Mishor Edumim, is a manufacturer
of health food supplements produced by the use of nanotechnology.
Its nano-emulsion supplements may be absorbed in liquids without
affecting taste, texture or clarity.
Other companies include two water treatment firms working
with Mekorot: Treatec21, which develops water purification
technologies, has recruited significant capital. The company has
expanded, advanced business ties and is developing a line of
products. Another firm, En Gibton, develops unique ceramic-based
and organic materials to filter biological and chemical contaminants
from well waters. These replace environmentally hazardous and
inefficient carbon-based filters.
M.S.Vision, a medical device company, is developing a unique
cleansing system for internal medical examinations. The system
cleans endoscope lenses and prevents loss of clarity upon contact
with bodily fluids, thus maintaining a clear field of vision throughout
the procedure.
Homeland security company Sea-Eye develops underseas
communication systems based on sea-floor-to-surface signaling
by advanced acoustics, allowing the transmission of real-time
video. Arcoline Ltd. is developing an automatic circuit breaker
capable of re-routing power supplies to peripheral substations in a
record 0.3 milliseconds, in the event of power failures. This swift
shut-down prevents damage that may be caused by the current
generation of circuit breakers, which disconnect at the relatively
slow speed of 1.5 milliseconds.
Botanocap Ltd. develops natural agricultural and veterinary
pest control microcapsules of essential oils to replace harmful
chemicals and pesticides.
Uri-Dent Ltd. develops innovative dental crowns for children
made out of polymers with metallic qualities, for children’s
molars. They are tooth-colored and without allergens (nickel
free). The company was founded in 2003 by Dr. Uri Zilberman,
who directs the children’s dental division of Ashkelon's Barzilai
Hospital. His highly regarded crown has passed the scrutiny of
the American FDA.
Topimed Ltd. is developing a skin ointment to treat damage
caused by age, disease or medical side effects. This ointment
works very efficiently on inner dermal layers.
