Toolbox

It is proven that a creative scene breeds economic growth and can strengthen Jerusalem, which is what New Spirit aims to achieve. We provide a professional platform that allows creators from the field of design to evolve and determine their professional future in Jerusalem. As such, we run economic accelerator programs intended for creators at the beginning of their careers, which helps to empower and develop creative businesses. We also provide professional, business and networking tools to designers and media professionals wanting to further develop their careers. One evolves in this program as self-employed, business owners, and employees in the Jerusalem ecosystem, which connects the design field to the high-tech world and startups.
