[value] => The Palestine Information & Communications Technology Incubator (PICTI) and Palestinian IT Assocation (PITA) with support from the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership (UPP), the Case Foundation and USAID work with Google to host training days for Palestinian software developers and entrepreneurs
WASHINGTON, DC — Upon invitation by PICTI and PITA and working with the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership (UPP), Case Foundation and USAID, Google hosted a GPals day in Ramallah. On March 24th and 25th a Google team from around the world, provided cutting edge skills to more than 300 software developers and entrepreneurs.
The GPals day was spread across two days. The first day focused on pushing the boundaries of web applications using Google developer technologies. The day was also about bringing brilliant developers together to share their own ideas. Whereas day two was focused on a full review of Google product demonstrations for small or medium sized businesses to help spur innovation and entrepreneurship in the region which included a discussion on how to create Arabic content using online tools, and how to use free Google applications (such as Google Docs) to better manage businesses.
“Entrepreneurs and NGO leaders in the Palestinian Territories are young, well educated and tenacious,” said UPP co-chair and Case Foundation CEO Jean Case. “Everyday they overcome challenges that seem insurmountable. Working with Google’s team and sharing their expertise gives these leaders an opportunity to engage in new ideas, which will hopefully serve to spur economic development and local innovation.”
Supporting the developer community around the world is vital for the future of the internet: an active developer community means constant innovation and growth of the web. Google is committed long-term to providing tools and platforms that make web development easier and more powerful.
Google has been providing similar trainings with local partners around the world. In addition to its acclaimed search engine, Google provides numerous free online applications that allow organization of online groups, shared spreadsheets, presentations and documents and application development. Google has created specialized portals that organize and promote its tools specifically for small businesses, non-profits and governments. And, it provides Google Ad Words grants to non-profits and training on how to advertise online successfully.
The collaboration with Google is the latest in the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership’s efforts to bring investment and opportunity to the West Bank. Since its founding in December of 2007, the Partnership has secured private sector contributions in the West Bank from leading companies and organizations such as Google, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and National Geographic. Through the support of youth centers, job creation, tourism and business delegations, UPP is working to create the economic conditions for peace and demonstrating that the West Bank is open for business.

WASHINGTON, DC — Upon invitation by PICTI and PITA and working with the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership (UPP), Case Foundation and USAID, Google hosted a GPals day in Ramallah. On March 24th and 25th a Google team from around the world, provided cutting edge skills to more than 300 software developers and entrepreneurs.
The GPals day was spread across two days. The first day focused on pushing the boundaries of web applications using Google developer technologies. The day was also about bringing brilliant developers together to share their own ideas. Whereas day two was focused on a full review of Google product demonstrations for small or medium sized businesses to help spur innovation and entrepreneurship in the region which included a discussion on how to create Arabic content using online tools, and how to use free Google applications (such as Google Docs) to better manage businesses.
“Entrepreneurs and NGO leaders in the Palestinian Territories are young, well educated and tenacious,” said UPP co-chair and Case Foundation CEO Jean Case. “Everyday they overcome challenges that seem insurmountable. Working with Google’s team and sharing their expertise gives these leaders an opportunity to engage in new ideas, which will hopefully serve to spur economic development and local innovation.”
Supporting the developer community around the world is vital for the future of the internet: an active developer community means constant innovation and growth of the web. Google is committed long-term to providing tools and platforms that make web development easier and more powerful.
Google has been providing similar trainings with local partners around the world. In addition to its acclaimed search engine, Google provides numerous free online applications that allow organization of online groups, shared spreadsheets, presentations and documents and application development. Google has created specialized portals that organize and promote its tools specifically for small businesses, non-profits and governments. And, it provides Google Ad Words grants to non-profits and training on how to advertise online successfully.
The collaboration with Google is the latest in the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership’s efforts to bring investment and opportunity to the West Bank. Since its founding in December of 2007, the Partnership has secured private sector contributions in the West Bank from leading companies and organizations such as Google, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and National Geographic. Through the support of youth centers, job creation, tourism and business delegations, UPP is working to create the economic conditions for peace and demonstrating that the West Bank is open for business.
