Why Jewish Israeli high-tech entrepreneurs are commuting to this Arab town
Klika QasemHub, a government-funded co-working facility in the Arab town of Kafr Qasem, Israel, is promoting Jewish-Arab collaboration and economic growth. The facility, which offers workspaces, mentoring services, and a conference room, has attracted both Jewish and Arab entrepreneurs. The $400,000 investment in the center was funded by the government and private foundations. The establishment of the hub aims to address the employment gap in high-tech industries between Jewish and Arab citizens in Israel. The town of Kafr Qasem plans to become the Arab high-tech capital of Israel, with the government approving the establishment of a high-tech park nearby. The hub has already facilitated a Jewish-Arab business collaboration and is seen as a role model for shared Jewish-Arab society.

'Cracking the Code' on Strategy
The article discusses the strategic thinking and long-term vision of Tsofen, a nonprofit organization in Israel. Tsofen aims to integrate the Arab community into the high-tech sector and promote economic development. The organization had to be patient and prioritize the integration of Arab engineers into high-tech companies before opening high-tech centers in Arab localities. Over time, Tsofens efforts gained momentum and resulted in the establishment of the first government-funded tech hub in the Arab city of Kfar Qasem. Tsofens strategic thinking and partnerships have also extended to other underrepresented groups, such as Ethiopian-Israelis and the Ultra-Orthodox community. The article emphasizes the importance of combining bold ideas with long-term strategies for sustainability and success.
