This is exciting. I've been noticing lots of biotech coming out of Israel these days (etc. lab grown meat). Is there some regulatory permissiveness that's enabling these to be in Israel as opposed to the U.S. or elsewhere?
- puttycat 8y ago(Israeli academic here) Nothing special about regulation here. The interest in lab grown meat IMO is due to a high interest in veganism in Israel [1].

The Israeli state at large is massively subsidized by the US govt., which is politically palatable under the auspices of "National Security", whilst subsidizing science and research in the homeland is increasingly decried as "socialism" and other such conservative scarewords. In recent years the amount of direct US aid to Israel (a nation with 3% the population of the US) has been half the budget of the NSF.
