Connecting High-Tech and Social Impact

A groundbreaking initiative connecting more than 200 high-tech companies, enabling people from across Israeli society - geographic and social peripheries, underrepresented communities (Arabs, Haredim, Druze, Bedouins, Ethiopian Israelis, new immigrants, reservists, and disabled IDF veterans) - to integrate into key roles at the core of Israeli high-tech.

Place-IL creates an optimal employment journey with an innovative model designed to ensure not only entry into high-tech, but also long-term persistence, professional growth, and success. To date, more than 220 employment journeys have concluded with successful placement in technology roles at high-tech companies.

An initiative born in the wake of the October 7 events, designed to lead a recovery and economic growth effort by creating hundreds of high-tech jobs and new opportunities in the Gaza Envelope and the Western Negev.

An initiative connecting high-tech and local authorities to develop systemic, sustainable, long-term solutions to municipal challenges. Ir-Medina leverages the capabilities of the high-tech industry, together with a broad volunteer network, and works side by side with local authorities across education, economic development, resident services, and regional growth. The model is built on combining high-tech’s technological and managerial thinking with the authorities’ operational knowledge and deep understanding of on-the-ground needs - to drive fundamental change.

The Social Code - Anu Banu also operates in the social sector, advancing a new model of strategic, professional support that connects expertise from the worlds of high-tech and management with the real needs and challenges of social organizations on the ground. As part of the pilot, Anu Banu is supporting two breakthrough nonprofits: Sayeret Niyeret, which assists and rehabilitates more than 11,000 soldiers, and Hopa, which is designing an innovative model for monitoring and responding to at-risk youth. This work is meant to build a deep connection between the business and social sectors, promote managerial innovation and systems thinking, and strengthen the organizational capabilities of nonprofits working at the core of Israel’s social resilience.

The Directors’ Fellowship - building a unique community of senior leaders from high-tech, committed to advancing innovation, public responsibility, and entrepreneurial thinking in Israel’s public and social sectors - grounded in a desire for meaningful impact. The social bond formed in this space is built on trust and support, alongside a level of professionalism that enables impact to grow in depth and scale. The initiative is in development.

Social Hub - a new center for social entrepreneurship that will serve as a platform and accelerator for social leaders, tech professionals, and entrepreneurs. The center will enable initiatives with significant impact by leveraging existing infrastructure, technological tools, and shared resources. It will provide the resources, networks, and knowledge needed to turn ideas for social change into action, and cultivate a cross-sector community of doing, innovation, and engagement. The initiative is in development.

Build-Up - our development group works to build technology, product, and data-driven solutions that address challenges and unlock opportunities emerging from the organization’s initiatives, or from needs raised by public and social organizations. The goal is to streamline processes, improve social services, and create measurable social impact through technology.
