Our Programs
ADIR develops tech-driven programs that transform ideas into action.
Through education, research, and real-world innovation, we empower students, professionals, and technologists to design scalable tools that combat hate and extremism.
From classrooms to startups, every ADIR initiative bridges human insight and technology to create measurable, lasting impact.
InnovatED
InnovatED is ADIR’s educational initiative cultivating lifelong entrepreneurs to combat antisemitism and hate.
Blending Israeli and American cohorts, the program challenges students to develop AI-based tools, gaming solutions, and social-impact technologies that turn empathy and creativity into innovation.
Winning teams go on to join ADIR’s ecosystem of fellows, mentors, and developers—building tools that make a tangible difference in how the world confronts hate.
