To train and employ at least 1 million people by 2027. By bridging the gap between skills purchasing and gainful employment, we shift from linear to a circular economy. The poor infrastructure, and cumbersome bureaucracy cause us to produce little, as evidenced in OECD studies, Israel has the highest poverty rates amongst developed countries coupled with an increase in the cost of living. We propose to develop Kehilla as a tool for collaborative innovation. Connecting job seekers and employers through an entrepreneurial ecosystem.. Our platform empowers communities to harness their collective resources by providing a centralized platform for knowledge, tools and experts needed to manage successful cooperatives. We Leverage digital twin technology to boost efficiency, bridging the gap between skill purchasing, gainful employment and compensation. Cooperatives are a strong, vibrant, and viable economic alternative. Cooperatives have been shown to be resilient business models, fostering high levels of innovation and creating stable jobs. The Shomrey Hashalom Co-operative was founded in 2008 in response to the many financial challenges our community face, such as unemployment and illiteracy. Survival brought us together as we developed a system of sharing, and circular economy practices. Built on the concept of a people-to-people economy. Put in what you can, take what you need. Kehilla recognizes the immense potential of circular economy as a tool for collaborative innovation, where entrepreneurs, and job seekers become a part of an entrepreneurial ecosystem allowing the development of circular economy and uplifting people through acquisition of gainful skills. It is imperative that we capitalize on the momentum behind sustainable development and circular economies by involving local communities in developing such an economy. So far, we've established an entrepreneurial cooperative of 150 businesses that employ 1,000 people. We researched, surveyed, and absorbed cottage businesses and their growth requirements. Finally, we developed and are currently testing our value innovation prototype. The grant would allow us to rapidly expand the platform and achieve its goals, thereby spearheading the development of the circular economy in the region.
