As the park continues to expand and attract new companies, we are strengthening Jerusalem’s position as a city of innovation, high-quality employment and opportunity for young people," Lion said."Investing in the infrastructure of a technology hub of this scale is a direct investment in Jerusalem’s engines of growth – in the companies operating here, their employees and the city’s ability to continue attracting businesses, entrepreneurs and highly skilled talent," added Zachi Namir, CEO of JDA.An additional improvement included new landscaped seating areas and wooden decks, improved landscaping around the central plaza, and the installation of underground waste systems that replaced conventional waste containers."A stronger high-tech sector means more jobs, greater economic activity, and new opportunities for Jerusalem’s residents. Our goal is to see Har Hotzvim continue to grow and remain a major anchor of Jerusalem’s economy for years to come,” Namir said.Follow us on Google
