 Tel Aviv Global City

Tel Aviv Global City is an initiative started by the Mayor's Office of Tel Aviv-Yafo dedicated to elevating the city’s global positioning. This municipal and national project aims to turn Tel Aviv-Yafo to a global center of business and culture, focusing on technology and innovation.

Tel Aviv Global City will impact the greater Tel Aviv-Yafo area, as well as residents of the entire State of Israel. It will have a financial, social and cultural sway beyond municipal borders. Launched in 2011, the program will result in a leap forward of the city's centrality, attractiveness and relevance on the global scene.

Central parts of the strategy focus on growing the city's presence in the realms of international business, culture, international student programs and film and television production.

 
International Center of Technology and Innovation
Tel Aviv-Yafo is the business, financial and commercial hub of Israel's economy and the core of its booming high-tech industry. Tel Aviv Global City’s international economic development strategy is to position the city as one of the world’s leading centers of innovation. Tel Aviv-Yafo’s value proposition rests on a globally renowned startup ecosystem, packaged in the city’s young, cosmopolitan and non-stop character.

A strategic plan aimed at attracting international business includes several measures to encourage foreign startups, technology companies and entrepreneurs to capitalize on the synergy of Tel Aviv-Yafo’s buzzing atmosphere and entrepreneurial culture. This creative energy feeds the city's unparalleled early-stage innovative ecosystem and acts as a large-scale accelerator for the country’s high-tech industry. Projects include the creation of municipal high tech hubs, conferences and events and the branding of "Tech Mile" - which already serves as home to dozens of start-up companies and financial services
 
Global Cultural Center – Art Year 2012
The kick-start of Global City’s strategy to promote Tel Aviv-Yafo as an international center of art is the opening of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art’s breathtaking new building.  In this regard, the city has declared 2012 as Art Year. This year-long series of events, exhibitions, conferences and educational and community initiatives will draw in both local and international audiences and involve them in Tel Aviv-Yafo’s thriving art scene. Many cooperative creative exchanges will take place between leading artists in Tel Aviv and around the world.

The highlight of 2012 will be Art Weekend, scheduled for March 21-24, bringing an exhilarating concentration of Tel Aviv’s contemporary arts.

Emphasis will also be placed on boosting Tel Aviv’s reputation as a hotbed of creativity by internationally promoting the city’s other major cultural assets, including dance, design, cuisine, architecture and music.
 
 
 

The Global City initiative is spearheaded by the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, in partnership with the Government of Israel and ten government ministries, the nation's major financial institutions (the Bank of Israel, Israel's Security Authority, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), major academic institutions and many public and private entities.
