Email Submit WHO we are The Pears Program for Global Innovation works to increase Israel’s contribution to international development through technology-based, financially sustainable solutions to problems facing people affected by poverty. We believe in the transformative power of values-driven innovation to improve the lives of people all over the world. WHAT we do Israel is one of the world’s most innovative countries. However, the vast majority of technologies only benefit the 15% of the planet’s population living in high-income countries. We are dedicated to harnessing the power of Israeli innovation to address the needs of the remaining 85% of the world population. WHY we do it By building bridges to the needs, opportunities and peoples of the developing world we hope to enable Israeli entrepreneurs and innovators to play a larger role in addressing the most pressing challenges of our time: ensuring water, food, clean energy, education and healthcare for all.
