The Nahariya Innovation Hub
Railway Hub Nahariya, a complex of workspaces and shared laboratories, will open above the Nahariya train station at the end of 2026. It will bring entrepreneurs, companies, researchers, and professionals together in one place in the Western Galilee, to work, learn, and meet.
Opening at the end of 2026
The place
The hub will sit directly above the station and will be reachable by train from towns across the North and from central Israel. A private company will operate the building and the laboratories.
i4Galil will run programs and training at the hub to strengthen the region’s technology community. The technology incubator i4Valley will also work there, with its own programs for entrepreneurs and companies.
The vision
To bring entrepreneurship, research, industry, and training together in one place, so that short-term and long-term engines of growth work side by side.
Companies that start here and stay here
Founding startups in the Galilee and helping them put down roots, in the fields where the region is strong, deep tech first among them. Companies like these can create new high-quality jobs, and being close to industry, laboratories, and researchers gives them good reason to grow and stay here.
Academia and industry
Bringing academia, with its knowledge and skilled people, together with industry and new ventures. When researchers, people from industry, and entrepreneurs meet in one place, knowledge turns into solutions and ventures more readily.
An active community
Meetups, inspiration, and guidance for entrepreneurs and young people working out their next step in entrepreneurship.
Training for the world of AI
AI has created a new starting point, and the Galilee can use it in the fields where it is already strong. Training at the hub will take place alongside the companies and laboratories, so that people who are learning meet the people who are building.
All of this rests on collaboration with organizations across the region.
The first program at the hub
NorthStar Women in Deep-Tech begins at the hub in early 2027. It is an i4Galil program, approved by the Israel Innovation Authority, that opens a path into technology roles in deep-tech companies for women with advanced degrees.
