Background
Nova's inclusion rests on its Israeli identity and operations, not on donations or rumor: the research pass found no corporate donation, no charitable foundation and no US political committee. Founded in Rehovot in 1993 as Nova Measuring Instruments and legally renamed Nova Ltd. in July 2021 (it should not be confused with the Nova music festival attacked on October 7, 2023 — an unrelated name), the company designs and builds chip-metrology systems in Israel and is dual-listed on Nasdaq and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Weeks into the October 2023 war its CEO assured investors that global operations were running as intended with no disruption to deliveries, even as Israeli employees were called to reserve duty.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 1993 | — | State of Israel (taxes, employment, strategic industry) Israeli semiconductor-metrology company: incorporated under Israeli law in May 1993 as Nova Measuring Instruments (renamed Nova Ltd. in July 2021), headquartered at 5 David Fikes Street in Rehovot, Israel, with its main manufacturing facility for optical CD and Raman metrology product lines in Rehovot's Weizmann Science Park. Per its 2023 annual report (20-F), 516 of its 1,202 employees were located in Israel at end-2023, alongside subsidiaries in the US, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China and Germany. Listed on Nasdaq since its April 2000 IPO and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since 2002, Nova is one of Israel's flagship chip-equipment companies — Israeli production, R&D employment and exports at the core of the business. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2023-11-09 | — | State of Israel (wartime industrial continuity) Kept its Israeli operations running at full commitment through the war that began October 7, 2023: reporting Q3 2023 results from Rehovot on November 9, 2023 — a month into the war — CEO Gaby Waisman told investors that 'Nova is first and foremost committed to supporting our customers and meeting delivery times and business obligations,' that a global business-continuity plan was in place, and that 'our global operations continue to run as intended, and there has been no impact on our performance and no disruption to our delivery schedule,' closing with thanks to 'our global and Israeli team' for their resilience. The company's 20-F notes that employees and consultants in Israel were called to military reserve duty during the war — continuity that kept Israeli production and exports flowing in wartime. |
