Selected Project

The Israel National ICT Index is a cooperation between Appleseeds Academy and Bezeq, funded by a research grant from the Israel Internet Association. The digital gap is a social issue reffering to the gap between populations who have constant and efficient access to computers and internet to those who don't have such access. Reduction of the digital gap helps in reduction of socio-economic gaps. This project's aim is to create a national Israeli ICT index that will be a central tool in the reduction of the digital gap in Israel and taken as a necessary consideration in policy setting and estimation. The index will be open and accessible to public.
