At Bedrock, we remain committed to engaging in philanthropic activities that help enrich the lives of others. Using the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a framework to focus our philanthropic mission, the initiatives we support are aimed at “ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (SDG 4).
Most recently, combining our philanthropic activity with our expertise and focus on the latest private tech investments, we supported the London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE), Student Union Israel Society, with an educational trip to visit the global tech hub, Israel.
LSE wished for the students to experience the entrepreneurial spirit of the rising ‘Start-Up’ Nation, and gain exposure to the large array of cultures that call it home. Bringing together a melting-pot of individuals, aged between 18 to 32, from 25 countries, 19 different LSE programs, both master’s and undergraduates, the diverse range of students discovered the contrast between “the old and the new“, between modern Tel Aviv and authentic Jerusalem; between the modern start-up and scientific environment, and the forever lasting spiritual and historical senses of the country.
Students visited a variety of leading Israeli-founded companies and institutions, from the likes of cyber security company, CheckPoint, The Israeli-Arab Tech Hub, and Space Pharma, a company executing experiments in microgravity.
As a result of the trip, many students expressed an interest in returning to Israel, both to initiate business collaborative journeys, and also to further their historical knowledge of the country.
It was a pleasure to support such a memorable and rich educational experience for the LSE students. We look forward to supporting more educational endeavors in the future wherever in the world they may take us!
