Empowering

Minister of Science, Yaakov Perry, greets COM.UNITY.

Today, almost every moment there is a new revolutionary start-up in creation, but it is no surprise that in most cases these start ups are not about finding solutions to acute social problems. To that end, we founded COM.UNITY - an Israeli charity focusing on Social Tech empowerment. Our mission is to help social-tech visionaries to pursue their vision and execute their innovative ideas. We support those entrepreneurs that use technology to address social challenges. 

Our goal is to trigger more entrepreneurs to divert their skills to the social arena, and to assist those already active to fulfill their social and technological vision. We believe that just like in other cases, Israeli entrepreneurs have what it takes to come up with innovative social-tech ideas.

"Harnessing technology for the greater good of society is the key for creating scalable and replicable social impact"
