THE ADIR CHALLENGE FOUNDATION

WE ARE

INNOVATING THE COMBAT OF ANTISEMITISM AND HATE

ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES

AND PLAYING OFFENSE

The ADIR Challenge is a foundation focused on innovating the fight against antisemitism. Technological innovations have recently contributed to the problem and should also be part of the solution. This is why we created the challenge – to foster a global entrepreneurial community that shares both problems and solutions.

We’ve established an incubator that does exactly that, driving a tech-centric, proactive, and offensive approach to build long-term strategies and tactics for this fight. We source, vet, develop, nurture, and support innovations that have participated in our challenges, advancing the fight against antisemitism.

Through innovative and technological solutions, we serve as the innovation arm for those combating antisemitism.
