Jerusalem, 22 July, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Education and the Innovation Authority launched “Regulatory Sandbox,” a first-of-its-kind experimental environment that will allow Israeli technology companies to test and implement innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence within the public education system, with regulatory guidance and while providing designated incentives for experimentation, with a budget of 10 million Shekels ($2.98 million).

Following the launch, a “call for applications” was published this week inviting Israeli technology companies and organizations to apply for participation in “regulatory sandbox”. It is aimed at companies and groundbreaking initiatives that offer systemic solutions for personalized learning, with broad application potential in the education system, while meeting standards of privacy, information security, data analysis and user experience.

The selected projects will benefit from the opportunity to develop and learn in a real, data-based environment, under unique conditions that are not currently available to the private market.

The companies selected to participate in the program will benefit from access to a test field in schools, regulatory guidance, regulatory relief tailored to the needs of the experiment, and financial assistance from the Innovation Authority.

“But this is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Education Minister Yoav Kish. “The decision to bring the best high-tech minds into schools is a strategic move: to give every child in Israel the tools that will determine their place in the new world. We do not react to the future – we shape it. This is a profound and unprecedented educational revolution – one that merges a national vision, advanced pedagogy and world-leading technological capabilities.”
