International Innovation Delegation
Connecting Palestine to the global innovation ecosystem.
A week-long programme bringing diaspora professionals, international technology leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and researchers into Palestine’s innovation landscape.
The delegation engages directly with Palestinian universities, research centres, technology companies, startups, innovation hubs, and public and private sector institutions across Palestine. The programme combines strategic dialogue, business networking, academic engagement, startup interactions, and cultural experiences.
Building on Palestine TechnoPark’s work to strengthen international partnerships, the delegation aims to move beyond networking toward concrete opportunities for investment, technology transfer, research collaboration, market access, and long-term partnerships.
It also seeks to strengthen the role of the Palestinian diaspora as a bridge between Palestine and international markets, expertise, and resources, while positioning Palestine as an emerging partner in the global technology and innovation economy.
