With its pre-commercial activities, the Company is already in discussions with multiple strategic partners, both in the USA and globally, to allow the Company to evaluate the most efficient commercialization channels once the product would be approved for sale in the USA and globally.

“Overcoming multiple challenges over the past 4 years, starting with COVID-19 and continuing with the war in Israel since October 7^th which reached new heights yesterday, we have been successful in establishing our infrastructure and meeting meaningful milestones such as the successful completion of the GLP study and the IDE submission to the FDA,” said Harel Gadot, CEO, President and Chairman of Microbot Medical. “With the infrastructure we have both in Israel and the USA, together with the milestones we already achieved and believe that we will achieve over the next few months, we are confident we can continue to execute against our regulatory milestones and to position us to commercialize the LIBERTY System in both the USA and Europe as planned.”
