Nura Global Innovation Lab is enabling the Israeli start-up ecosystem to play a meaningful role in the international development field, addressing key challenges and building prosperity in developing countries, and positioning Israel as a global force for good. Leveraging Israel’s strong innovation ecosystem, Nura focuses on sectors like agriculture, health, financial inclusion, water & sanitation, climate, aiming to drive meaningful impact in low- and middle-income countries. The lab operates three main streams: For entrepreneurs: The Pears Challenge is a venture-builder program that helps early-stage startups validate ideas, refine their tech, and build scalable business models for emerging markets. For companies: Nura supports tech companies, from startups to corporations, in entering and adapting to frontier markets. It provides market insights, local networks, and partnership facilitation to overcome barriers to support impactful technologies in reaching places where they are most needed. For global partners: NGOs, governments, and investors can join Nura’s network to collaborate and co-develop solutions tailored to humanitarian and development needs. Nura helps in facilitating innovation process, and mobilize expertise and resources for greater reach. Guided by core values, development impact first, respectful partnership, humility, and continuous learning , Nura acts as the Israeli hub for Innovation for Development and connects the Israeli vibrant innovation ecosystem with the international development field. Our journey started under the Pears Foundation in 2008 and has evolved into a global facilitator of DevTech community: disruptive tech for sustainable development
