Making Our Partnerships Count:
In preparation for the establishment of the first technological Hub in Ramle, which will be a co-op work area for young entrepreneurs. Appleseeds hosted an important tour for the Director General of the Ministry for the Development of the Periphery, the Negev and Galilee Ariel Mishal, Ramle Mayor Michael Vidal, and the Municipality's Director Ronen Azaria.The Hub will be housed in a building that was recently renovated by Appleseeds through the support of the Wohl Foundation, Bezeq, Cisco, Keren Hayesod, the Weinberg Foundation and the Ramle municipality. The project, which was developed in partnership with the municipality of Ramle and Negev Galil, constitutes another breakthrough in deepening the activity and strengthening the local technological ecosystem. We pride ourselves on our technological employment program graduates and are very excited about our future alumni!
