Galilee - Israel
The Galilee region is a peripheral region in the North of Israel and is far from the heart of the politicians. It was based until recently on agricultural, and now more industries are developing. The agriculture sector is developed, but still needs improvement, while youngsters are leaving the region because of lack of employment.
OVERALL AMBITION
Upgrading the outputs of the region in both agriculture and business sectors, while employing more young people and bring businesses to stay in the Galilee (including spin-offs and SMEs). Establish a network of the different municipalities in the Galilee and the governmental agencies that will enable the sustainability of the development.
Expected outputs
Expected outputs which are directly targeted to Galilee:
Develop a programme that will be supported by the governmental agencies to modernise and upgrade the Galilee agriculture sector
More young people will join the Kibbutzim and cities in the Galilee, while having jobs they like and will high salaries
Attract more small spin-offs and SMEs to settle in the Galilee by upgrading RD&I in the institutes of the Galilee
Develop the network between the municipalities and stakeholders that will enable the development
Expected impact (qualitative)
• Establish 5-10 additional companies (SMEs as well as bigger ones) in the Galilee; • Succeed in introducing Precision Agricultural methods to more than 10 farms; • Develop the programme with governmental involvement; • Attract over 5 million NIS a year for the development from governmental resources; • Increase the young population by 10% in the next 3 years; • Reduction of unemployment in the Galilee cities by 5%; • More funded projects at the Galilee research institutes, increase by 5%.

Progress bar
Progress bar can help orient the user in terms of what the pilot was doing, what is happening now and what will happen in the future. While the structure of the bar will be the same for all pilots, its content will differ from pilot to pilot. A dynamic front end with a predetermined colour scheme can be used to differentiate past, present and future, like in the graphic below.

BEST PRACTICES
As part of the Polirural project, information on individual entrance case studies and other data from pilot regions will be published in the Atlas. The Atlas of the Best Practices visualizes relevant cases on a map and provides easily accessible information to inform and inspire other stakeholders. Best practices and pilot examples are collected by project project partners and there is a need to identify, synthesize, share and present individual examples and provide opportunities for new paths and other subjects. Below, you can see examples from Israel.
