In a tech expansion of sorts, Israel has launched a 225-million-shekel ($70.8 million) programme to boost high-tech developments in the Arab sector in the country.
According to a five-year plan, by the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and the Ministry for Social Equality, the country will encourage entrepreneurship and hi-tech employment in the Arab communities.
The programme includes the setup of entrepreneurship centres, technological accelerators to advance new ideas, angel clubs to recruit investors, and a technological incubator to promote Arab entrepreneurship.
