Our key objectives and work

Position

Positioning Palestine to capture a competitive niche within the emerging opportunities in the global technology sector is the first strategic objective. In the context of Palestine, this refers mostly to increasing the human capital skills and value of the IT outsourcing companies in order to provide a competitive advantage and fulfill the demand of global multinational companies seeking outsourced human capital.

Enable

Enabling the ICT sector to provide technology enabled solutions to key economic sectors. This objective highlights the importance of digital transformation of key sectors such as health, education, and agriculture through innovations in AgriTech, HealthTech, and EduTech, among others. E-governance can also play an important role in this strategic objective.

Create

Creating a business-friendly environment conducive to the natural growth of local innovation and attraction of MNC operations. This largely refers to creating a business regulatory environment that incentivizes MNCs to open operations locally in Palestine, but also increase investment into the sector, and make it easier for locals to open new businesses, invest, and innovate.
