Microbot's $630K grant strengthens finances while awaiting FDA clearance for LIBERTY® System, boosting commercialization preparations without shareholder dilution.

The grant offers two significant advantages: it strengthens the balance sheet without diluting existing shareholders and validates the technology through the IIA's independent due diligence process. The timing is particularly noteworthy, as it suggests growing confidence in Microbot's commercialization prospects from an objective third party.
Several factors contributed to the IIA's decision, including the market opportunity size, competitive advantages of a single-use disposable robot, current regulatory status, and anticipated healthcare benefits. This represents continued support from the IIA, which has previously provided grants for the LIBERTY® System's development.
For investors, this development addresses two critical pre-revenue concerns: operational readiness for commercial scale-up and immediate cash needs. The non-dilutive nature preserves shareholder value while the external validation mitigates some risk perception around the pending FDA decision. The fact that Microbot is proactively scaling manufacturing capabilities suggests management confidence in eventual regulatory approval, though the LIBERTY® System remains investigational until FDA 510(k) clearance.
