Third Session: Opportunities for Sustainable Development in the Medium-Term

Innovation and Industrial Policy – Harnessing the Knowledge Economy,

This session examines the evolution of Palestine’s industrial sector, analyzing the interplay between external political constraints and internal development opportunities. While the sector faces significant challenges under Israel’s occupation that require systemic political solutions, there are also actionable pathways for growth through strategic policy reforms and market-driven interventions. The research  proposes specific industrial policies focused on fostering technological developments to enable the industrial sector to cut costs in trading and production, as well as in better accessing local and international markets.
