This education hub and visitors' center will draw hundreds of thousands of people from around the world to learn about Israel's historic achievements, absorb its core values of innovation, optimism and the pursuit of peace, and be inspired and empowered to positively impact their communities and the world.
     
    The use of technology to build peace and shared-living will, for the first time, create a safe space for thousands of Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians to innovate - together.
