Google is offering specialized training days in the West Bank

by

My friend sent me a link about an event held in the West Bank for software developers and entrepreneurs. I was very impressed and excited to see that Google is getting involved in this. This is how the event is described:

Google is very excited to be invited by PICTI and PITA to support local Palestinian software developers and entrepreneurs. Thanks to UPP and USAID, Google is offering specialized training days in the West Bank.

In alignment with our core mission, “to organize all the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful” we would like to provide training on localized tools to spur economic development for Palestinians.

You can register and see the schedule in this page.

Thanks to Google for living up to their mission and we hope that they will be doing this in other Arab countries as well, especially Syria, which has a big and growing scene of developers and entrepreneurs in need of international recognition and support.

If anyone is attending this event, please send us the details of how it went!
