Grant funds two-thirds of a NIS 1.23 million ($373K) project to strengthen Scinai Bioservices' small-batch fill and finish capabilities, addressing a critical need among early-stage biotech companies in Israel and abroad

JERUSALEM, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) ("Scinai" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company with a growing boutique contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) business unit, Scinai Bioservices, today announced that it has been awarded a non-dilutive grant of approximately NIS 809,000 (about $246,000) from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA). The grant will fund approximately 66% of a NIS 1.23 million ($373,000) project aimed at acquiring and installing an advanced fill-and-finish system for sterile manufacturing. This investment addresses a major industry gap, as most early-stage biotech companies in Israel lack access to local, flexible, small-scale GMP manufacturing. As a result, many are forced to outsource overseas at high cost, with long lead times and limited control. Designed to accommodate diverse primary packaging formats with minimal reconfiguration, the system enables rapid batch turnaround and efficient switching between campaigns, substantially enhancing Scinai's fill-and-finish capacity and operational flexibility.
