The Economic Zionism policy

& media lab

If you believe that entrepreneurship and the economic integration of global professionals strengthen Israel and the Jewish people: you may already be an Economic Zionist.

Investors

WHY NOW

As Israel emerges as the regional superpower, the economy is under pressure to create a better business climate for those willing to stake their fortunes within our borders.

Yet, entrepreneurs, investors, and global partners increasingly ask the same question: Is Israel a competitive place to build, invest, and scale businesses and shareholder value?
 

As the forces of antisemitism and normalization re-shape the region, a pivot from our survival-oriented mindset towards a deliberate prosperity-oriented strategy is needed.

Israel can become the best place to do business in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa by innovating in tech, and by:
 

  • Designing policy for training, attracting, and retaining global capital, talent, and entrepreneurial ambition;

  • Removing structural barriers;

  • Increasing institutional trust;

  • Promoting the advancement of immigrants in the local economy and professional communities.
