Israeli Tech Companies Map

Welcome! This project aims to help Israelis find hi-tech jobs near their homes, minimizing commute and wasted time. The map is hosted at (https://maphub.net/mluggy/techmap) and updates itself daily using this repo data.

Project Overview

The main point-of-truth for this project is Rasham Havarot / רשם החברות. Please provide the current company number (ח.פ) whenever adding, updating or deleting your company. Note: only locally registered, non-violating companies are included in the final map.
