I understand Norway and UK - what Israel is even doing here, though?

I could very well be wrong, but my guess is because they have innovative project proposals, and when funded they might be giving some rights to the investors as well, so it's like an investment?

Would be nice if someone knowledgeable explained what's going on and if there are precautions taken against usage of the funds and funded tech in military applications.

The Innovation fund supports projects that reduce carbon emissions.....it is for environmental innovation projects.
