MAX Impact Israel (a public benefit company) runs the Collaborative Impact Hub in Education
Our program facilitates collaborations between high school and further education students, professional educators, mentors, and Israeli tech companies and professionals with the aim of making a meaningful difference in young people’s education and driving social change through tech opportunities.
Multi-disciplinary Educational Teams
A practical training program for impact entrepreneurship
Each practical education team is comprised of people from different age groups and professional fields to provide a holistic initial approach to the social challenge. Each team has trainees focused on the tech, business development, product design and product development aspects of the project. The trainees are mentored and supported every step of the way by tech-industry professionals and a third-sector partner.
Social Challenges
Tech solutions for the third sector
MAX Impact Israel identifies significant social challenges by working closely with third sector organizations. We are looking for partners who are passionate about social issues that can be addressed using potentially impactful and economically sustainable technological solutions. Each team is partnered with a third-sector organization, and together they develop a social-tech prototype to address the challenge.
A Built-in Economic and Intellectual Property Model
We believe the best way to reap meaningful educational benefits is through meaningful work without limitations. This is why we developed a legal and economic framework that addresses intellectual property issues and allows projects to continue beyond the program. We want to see the teams’ successes developed into real-world projects that drive meaningful social change in Israel and worldwide
Continuity for Impact Ventures
From seed to product
We invite impact entrepreneurs and Israeli tech companies to join our collaborative hub and continue developing the impact ventures born in our program. We offer a unique program for involving Israeli tech companies in meaningful social impact work in the field of social tech, all on a volunteer basis.
Testimonials
Sara Fish
MAX Program 1-5# 2017-2022
Software Engineering Program Coordinator, Kalai High School, Givatayim
“This was an empowering, groundbreaking experience for us. As part of our graduation projects in software engineering, we could add an important social benefit to the students’ tech projects.
This was very empowering for the students themselves and great for their projects as well. The wonderful teamwork has proven beyond a doubt that our students can be empowered, that we can put together a winning team and provide something of real value for people who need it. You made our students want to engage in exciting and important social tech projects, and the fulfillment this has brought me and my students is incredible. The students are willing to put in the effort on their own, delving into new fields and learning about new technologies

MAX Program #4, 2020
CEO, Israel Elwyn
“The Kesher app developed in the MAX program is an innovative and groundbreaking development that will assist a wide range of users, both here at Israel Elwyn (parents and staff at our rehabilitative day care centers), and at additional organizations in the future.
This process has given us a lot of food for thought about the tech world and the importance of bringing tech into our field: helping people with disabilities integrate into society.”

CEO of Avoda Shava
“We are in the middle of significant changes both in the labor market and throughout Israeli society. We joined MAX’s important initiative and developed an excellent product demo together with the other wonderful team members.
Teaming up with AppsFlyer was a natural choice for continued development. Together we are creating a new standard for the Israeli employment market.”
Shelly Luftig

“Our relationship with Avoda Shava and their product was a natural fit due to our company’s belief and extensive activity in reducing gender disparity. This is apparent in our core area of expertise and business, in our employees’ amazing engagement and the skills they bring, and in their connection to and love for the project. We are proud to be partners in MAX’s activities, and our work together is important, professional, and impactful. Thank you!”
