Driving success through thoughtful guidance and expert mentoring
of our resident companies, Van Leer Technology Center nurtures
and grows start-up technologies into mature, well-conceived
enterprises.

The CENTER was established in 1992 by a consortium of notable
sponsors, such as Intel, Teva Pharmaceuticals, AVX, Motorola and
the Jerusalem Development Authority. Today much of the CENTER's
activities are supported by its investors, Docor International
BV, an industrial investment fund and The Jerusalem Development

Docor International and The Jerusalem Development Authority
deliver to the portfolio companies tangible added value both via
ongoing guidance and by extending their business development
capabilities.

The incubator's vision is to find and to foster entrepreneurs
with high potential for creating thriving and successful
technological companies, while strengthening the Israeli economy
and positioning Jerusalem as a leading city in high-technology
industry.

VAN LEER TECHNOLOGY CENTER embraces values that it believes are
the cornerstones of strong business practices and good
citizenship. The CENTER demonstrates its values through its
actions and associations and the CENTER requires that its
portfolio companies join it in doing good while doing well.

services to our resident companies. The areas of focus include:
* Information Technology and Security

communications industries
