Who We Are
We facilitate and catalyse initiatives to build quality employment and a thriving private sector and society, in coordination with the Israeli authorities. Portland Israel is developing an infrastructure that successfully integrates tech professionals from the underrepresented communities of the Israeli social and geographical periphery into the tech industry.
Our Role
Despite the many obstacles and restrictions, Portland remains deeply committed to strong economic development for Palestinians.
Our role is strategic, for and led by the private sector, but working in alignment with all relevant authorities, including the Government of Israel.
We aim to be impactful on the ground, including in Gaza and seek to pro-actively provide economic development, planning and other support for implementation, without working with or being connected to or in contact with Hamas in any way, while being in alignment with all relevant authorities, including the Government of Israel.
