RDC – Rafael Development Corporation Ltd. is a unique company, blending seemingly contradictory disciplines into viable commercial products. Our core business is the identification and development of potentially valuable commercial technologies based on hi-tech defense technologies developed within Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. (www.rafael.com), enhanced with the financial capabilities of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (www.elron.com)

 

To date, RDC has established 15 new companies.

 

RDC is an incubator, a business development and a holding company, all in one. Since established in 1993, we have leveraged the strong partnership of both Elron and Rafael to found numerous hi-tech companies in a wide range of disciplines - from medical devices to telecommunications and semiconductors, and many others.

 

The company's experienced management team comes from various fields of hi-tech and possesses strong business and technological backgrounds. Together they form a unique group full of dedication, actively involved in all business aspects of the companies they help to create, while promoting innovation, inventiveness and professionalism throughout the entire life cycle of the company.

 

With our unique strategy and highly experienced management, RDC primarily identifies existing market needs, defines the technological concept of the solution, creates a valid business plan and finally establishes a new company which will develop the product or application. This approach keeps us focused and enables the companies we build to reach fruition and provide technological solutions with enhanced cost/performance ratio. Using Rafael’s relatively-mature technologies considerably shortens time to market.

 

RDC is located in the Yokneam Industrial Park, Israel. To date, RDC has established 18 new companies.
