Israel Global Initiative

The Israel Global Initiative (IGI) was launched in 2015 in order as a collaboration between Tag and Topaz, to research, showcase and advocate for a greater presence and impact of Israeli expertise in the field of international development. Our vision is for Israeli know-how in a range of fields – such as intensive agriculture, emergency medicine, rural development and immigration absorption – to be recognized globally for its value in helping countries to accelerate their development.
