Anu Banu - Building Israel’s Future Through Tech & Society

Anu Banu is Israel’s national platform for tech-powered social innovation. Founded by high-tech entrepreneur and social visionary Idan Tendler, Anu Banu was created to harness the power of Israel’s innovation ecosystem in service of the country’s most pressing social challenges. At a time of national complexity and growing inequality, we believe the high-tech sector holds not only the tools but also the responsibility to help shape a more resilient, inclusive, and united Israeli society. We bring together high-tech companies, entrepreneurs, and senior tech professionals to collaborate with public institutions, local authorities, and underserved communities. By combining technological innovation with strategic thinking and deep social insight, we build cross-sector initiatives that deliver measurable, sustainable impact. Our Initiatives include: Place-IL – a national employment model that integrates populations underrepresented in the high-tech industry into meaningful tech roles Ir Medina – long-term partnerships between tech leaders and municipalities to solve civic challenges at scale SocialTechHub – a civic-tech innovation center supporting social entrepreneurs and grassroots initiatives Directors Circle & Social Code – a leadership program placing senior tech executives in governance roles across the public and nonprofit sectors Additional initiatives – continuously evolving to meet Israel’s most urgent social challenges through innovation, collaboration, and long-term action At Anu Banu, we believe that true innovation doesn't just break down barriers - it builds bridges. Join us in shaping the future of Israeli society – together!
