JUST ANOTHER NATION:
The cool new Palestinians: geeks: The West Bank and Gaza Strip is home to hundreds of tech companies, creating everything from websites to smart phone apps. (Jackie Spinner, February 18, 2012, CS Monitor)
Until now, the primary Palestinian contribution to technology has been outsourcing programmers and engineers to firms in the United States and Israel, including Google and Cisco Systems.But these new entrepreneurs want to do more. They want to create companies based on their own ideas and hire people to implement them. Already their ventures range from smart phone apps to Web design.Crucially, the community is now beginning to attract investors.
