AI Literacy & Training
AI is a core focus of FWD Israel’s programs, preparing young people to navigate an increasingly AI-driven world. Participants explore the latest AI tools, methodologies and real-world applications, learning directly from experts in the field.
Startup Accelerator
Launch Real-World Ventures Of Your Own!
At the core of the program is the Startup Accelerator and Makeathon Challenges, where participants work in teams to develop and pitch their own venture ideas with guidance from leading entrepreneurs, mentors and industry professionals.
Through a hands-on, real-world process, participants build skills in innovation, leadership, problem-solving, branding, marketing and pitching.
The experience culminates in a live “Shark Tank”-style pitch event, where the winning teams get the opportunity to further develop their ideas through a unique mentorship program.
