Mossad Director Yossi Cohen, at the launch event for the Mossad Libertad Fund, made the following remarks towards explaining the new fund: “The Mossad fund for technology and innovation, Libertad, will find its place between the covert Mossad and the open world of technology.

“Through Libertad we want to connect to you – market leaders, entrepreneurs, companies, industries and research institutes. Libertad will provide the Mossad with a strong, direct and productive link with technological brain trusts and leading pioneers here in Israel in designing tomorrow.

“We have established the fund to support freedom of operation by visionary entrepreneurs who are working to realize their dream and will enable us to use their developments in implementing our national mission. The Mossad will do its part by financing research and development and, in exchange, will receive technology for its needs. I am proud of the Mossad’s innovation.”
