our mission
Here's to togetherness
The UAE-IL tech zone is the first of its kind: an exclusive and primary platform and community that bridges technological, entrepreneurial, business, venture capital, and government collaborations between the UAE and Israel and soon the wider GCC.
We seek to create a solid tech ecosystem in the region by fostering more in-depth people-to-people relationships to continue building a stronger region through tech.
Guided by authenticity and trust, the UAE-IL tech zone's values of diversity, inclusion, and mutualism always lead.
Whether it’s building relationships, creating connections, or helping grow business ventures, our team and community are the experts you didn't know you needed.
