Bloomberg Philanthropies Announces Partnership to Scale Civic Innovation Program in Israel
Bloomberg Philanthropies, Israel’s Ministry of the Interior and the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation to Accelerate Civic Innovation in 12 Municipalities
NEW YORK, NY AND TEL AVIV, ISRAEL: Bloomberg Philanthropies announced today the launch of Hazira, a national hub for city innovation and a major new effort to accelerate civic innovation in municipalities across Israel. In partnership with the Ministry of the Interior and the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation, Hazira will scale the Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Innovation Teams (i-teams) program to 12 new cities across Israel over the course of five years and provide municipalities with the tools needed to tackle their most difficult, complex challenges.
“Hazira is not only innovation, it can be a revolution. It is not simply a project, it is a thought, it is a way,” said Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin.
