⏳ Last chance to register! As part of AI Week, Intersect Innovation Hub is wrapping up its sessions with one final lecture happening tomorrow, and this is your last day to secure your spot. 👉 Register now: https://lnkd.in/dqqZt3en 🧠 Session Topic: “AI Paradox and the Future: An Economic Perspective” 📅 Date: Wednesday, April 29 ⏰ Time: 01:00 PM – 02:00 PM 📍 Location: Ramallah, Birzeit, TechnoPark, Room 304 This session examines the paradox of AI as a technology that is massively hyped, yet still technically limited and often difficult to deploy in real-world workflows. We will unpack why many AI systems fail to translate into practical, scalable tools, and how this gap between promise and reality feeds into what may be an AI-driven economic bubble. Participants will leave with a more critical understanding of where AI truly stands today and what that means for future investment and policy.  👨🏫 Speaker: Dr. Huthaifa I. Ashqar, Ph.D., Director of Enbat & Assistant Professor at Arab American University 💡The lecture is best suited for: Intermediate learners familiar with basic AI concepts Palestine Techno Park

On April 23, 2026, we proudly represented Intersect at the Hebron Code Jam (HCJ) 2026, hosted by Hebron University. Our participation was represented by Bara Qabaja, the Hebron Hub Officer, where we engaged with talented students and aspiring developers from universities across Palestine. The event showcased impressive problem-solving and algorithmic skills, highlighting the growing strength of the Palestinian tech community. During the event, we connected with ambitious students, introduced Intersect’s programs and initiatives, and shared our vision for fostering entrepreneurship and innovation within the local ecosystem. Such gatherings provide valuable opportunities to strengthen relationships with academic institutions and support the next generation of innovators. We extend our sincere thanks to Hebron University and the organizers of Hebron Code Jam for creating an inspiring platform that empowers students and celebrates technical excellence. 🚀 Are you ready to take your startup idea to the next level? 👉 Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming programs and opportunities.
