Cooperation and support

Bank Hapoalim has begun supporting the activities of the Pioneers Association to promote scientific and technological education in Arab society as a driver for recovery from the economic crisis currently plaguing the Arab community. This has supported the expansion of two major projects within the association:
1- Mobile Laboratory: The aim is to expand the scope of scientific experiments and increase the project's reach to thousands of students in the Arab community, with a focus on vulnerable groups, including the Negev.
2- Mobile science exhibitions: Working to make the science museum system accessible within the community. Bank Hapoalim supports the development of science and technology exhibitions, which are expected to be held for the first time in the Arab community in 2024.

For seven years, the Pioneers Association has been working closely on its projects with leading academic and research institutions in the country, including Tel Aviv University, the Technion, the University of Haifa, the Hebrew University, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. This collaboration with academic institutions works strategically to increase the number of scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs from the Arab community.
