A for-profit innovation hub and nonprofit institute piloting in Brazil, operating under the Jewish International Cooperation (JIC) framework, an initiative dedicated to reducing antisemitism by creating economic interdependence between Jewish and non-Jewish communities. The JIC’s core thesis, supported by a meta-analysis of 515 studies, is that trade, joint ventures, and shared investment reduce prejudice by an average of 21%. By aligning social impact goals with investment returns, this model ensures that fighting antisemitism is not just a moral imperative but a financially sustainable one.

The Brazil pilot connects Israeli expertise in agritech, health & life sciences, and resilience technologies with Brazilian market needs. Through corporate matchmaking, innovation missions, training programs, and community-focused projects, the hub creates tangible, visible value for local communities, making Jewish innovation an essential part of local progress.
