MIGAL Galilee Research Institute is recognized for its innovative applied research, particularly in the fields of agriculture and biotechnology. The institute has developed a Knowledge Center for Agro Photovoltaics (APV), which focuses on the dual use of agricultural land for crop production and solar energy generation. This technology allows for the installation of semi-transparent solar arrays above crops, providing shade that can reduce water consumption and protect plants from extreme weather conditions. The APV initiative aims to enhance agricultural productivity while simultaneously addressing energy needs, with the potential to significantly impact global electricity demands if implemented on a larger scale.

In addition to its work in agro-photovoltaics, MIGAL is engaged in various research areas, including protein design, nutrition, and natural products. The institute's research encompasses the health benefits of nutraceuticals, the development of vaccines for livestock, and the exploration of medicinal cannabis. Furthermore, MIGAL's Department of Molecular and Computational Biosciences and Biotechnology focuses on addressing global challenges such as cancer therapy and environmental safety through innovative methodologies, including computational design and enzyme evolution. This interdisciplinary approach positions MIGAL as a leader in advancing agricultural technology and human health research.
