Creating Tech Prosperity for All

The cover story in the Summer 2022 issue of Stanford Social Innovation Review, "Tech Inclusion for Excluded Communities," offers ideas on what this approach might look like. The authors of the article, Linda Jakob Sadeh and Smadar Nehab, are from Israel, where a collaboration of organizations from across society, including the Jewish and Palestinian communities, have broken through the barriers to create a more inclusive tech industry in Israel. There are many aspects to this approach, ranging from creating companies and opening offices in Arab communities, to reaching out to parents and community leaders to convince them that young Arabs could successfully pursue careers in technology.
