An eco-friendly hotel run jointly by Jews and Arabs; an educational app that teaches Hebrew and Arabic; a Jerusalem-based musical training program; and an app creating videos that depict both Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian cultures were just a few of the startup ideas and social projects pitched at a joint Israeli-Arab-Palestinian tech-pitch event held in Jerusalem last week.
The “Pitch Your Bridge” event, featuring at least 60 Israeli and Palestinian entrepreneurs from Jerusalem, Gaza, Nablus, Rahat, and the United Arab Emirates, was hosted by global VC firm Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) at the Margalit Startup City headquarters, just a week after an 11-day round of violence between Israel and Hamas, the terror organization that rules the Gaza Strip, ended last month.
