Tech companies designated essential during COVID-19

The IGF played a crucial role in promoting the inclusion of tech companies in the government's list of essential workplaces permitted to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing the critical importance of maintaining continuity in the tech sector, the IGF successfully ensured that these companies could remain operational despite widespread lockdowns. This decision not only allowed for the uninterrupted development and delivery of vital technologies but also safeguarded the industry’s contribution to the economy during a period of unprecedented disruption. By facilitating this inclusion, the IGF helped secure the stability and resilience of Israel's tech ecosystem in the face of a global crisis.
