A new program will help orthodox Jewish entrepreneurs to integrate into Israel’s hi-tech and technology industries.
It is the first of its kind, and will provide them with mentoring, marketing and sales skills. It will also teach them how to raise funds and adapt their products, and connect with other groups within the population.
The program was presented at the Israeli President’s residence by a group of representatives. It aligns with the Israeli President’s new “Exchange Word” initiative, which calls for a fruitful dialogue between the different parts of the nation.
The program was developed as a partnership between orthodox entrepreneurship program Dos Ventures, and Intel Ignite (the company’s startup accelerator program).
“We all want to see the orthodox public enter the high-tech sector. It is only natural,” said the President of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog.
“As long as we provide a supportive environment for the young orthodox in high-tech companies, subject to their needs, the sky’s the limit.
“I am a big believer in the integration of the orthodox public into the world of employment and in general in the various public circles of Israeli society.
“I was happy to host the representatives of Intel Ignite and Dos Ventures at the President’s Residence, and to personally meet the startups from the orthodox community who are participating in the joint program of the two.
