About MEET

‍

Established in 2004, MEET (the Middle East Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow) is an educational excellence NGO that educates and empowers tomorrow’s most promising Palestinian and Israeli leaders to take action towards creating positive social and political impact in the Middle East.

In partnership with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), MEET delivers an intensive, three-year technology, entrepreneurship education, and leadership program that provides the tools and opportunities necessary to impact economic, social, and political change across the region. MEET leverages its alumni network of young leaders to enable swift and broadened impact through 3 core programmatic pillars, scaling MEET from a youth-focused program into a broader network of young proactive changemakers ages 15-30+ with the tools, capabilities, and experiences necessary to transform their communities.

MEET is fully bi-national, led by the students, alums, and bi-national staff and Board of Directors, ensuring that both Israeli and Palestinian voices are represented. MEET's Board is made up of leaders from all sectors of society, including some of the region's most influential entrepreneurs, VCs, philanthropists, and activists. MEET’s staff is comprised of professionals with deep expertise in shared society and bi-national work, educational programs, alumni community-building, tech and CSR.
