Building National Resilience Through Applied Technology
Moona operates at the intersection of education, innovation, and workforce development. Since 2016, we have been advancing human capital in the Israeli periphery through a comprehensive model that integrates Applied Tech training, K–12 STEM programming, and ecosystem-building at the municipal level.
Workforce Training
At the heart of Moona’s work is a commitment to tangible technology—robotics, automation, 3D printing, and IoT—applied directly to real-world needs in the manufacturing sector.
A National Need
According to the Israel Innovation Authority's 2022 Innovation Report, "producers of tangible goods" are positioned to hire 3x the number of employees over the coming decade as IT companies.
Applied Tech
ENCOMPASSES THE FULL RANGE OF DISCIPLINES INVOLVED IN CREATING PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS IN TODAY'S TECH ECONOMY.
From robot design to app development, beyond programming, this includes electrical and mechanical expertise, design skills, and proficiency with cutting-edge tools. It also incorporates essential ‘soft skills,’ such as teamwork, communication and innovative thinking—qualities critical in an ever-changing economy.
