Tel Aviv Global

What Tel Aviv Global does

Tel Aviv Global is an initiative operated by the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality (עיריית תל-אביב-יפו), the local government authority of Tel Aviv and Jaffa, Israel. The municipality itself was founded in 1909, with the Tel Aviv Global initiative dating to 2010. The organization provides comprehensive public services to city residents, local businesses, and visitors, spanning healthcare (15 Tipat Halav baby health clinics), education (kindergarten through high school registration and placement), social welfare (family therapy centers, sexual trauma support, domestic violence prevention), urban planning, transportation coordination, waste management, cultural programming (3 major museums attracting over 1.1 million visitors annually), and beach management across 14 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline.

The technology stack centers on a municipal digital services ecosystem anchored by the official tel-aviv.gov.il portal and the DigiTel mobile application (available on iOS and Android), which functions as a digital citizen card providing personalized benefits, event information, and service access. The GIS Mapping System (מערכת מידע גיאוגרפית) provides city-wide spatial data visualization for urban planning, parking zones, transportation routes, events, and infrastructure. Complementary tools include My Environment (הסביבה שלי) for locating municipal facilities by address and the Shelter Map for public bomb shelter lookup. The Smart City Initiative is structured as a multi-vertical program covering transportation, energy, environment, health, welfare, education, and emergency security, with dedicated sub-pages per vertical. An Open Data portal (Data Tel-Aviv) extends select datasets to the public. These systems function as interconnected municipal infrastructure rather than a commercial SaaS product.

The entity does not operate a commercial revenue model. Funding flows from municipal property tax (arnona), government allocations, and service fees. Pricing signals include a 30 ILS single-entry beach parking fee (with 75% resident discount) and tiered business signage license fees determined by signage type, size, and location. Distribution occurs through neighborhood community centers distributed across north, south, east, and central-west city districts, regional welfare departments, the 106 centralized service hotline, and digital portals. Core institutional partnerships include the Ministry of Health (operating Tipat Halav clinics under national protocols), the Ministry of Welfare (joint social services), the European Union (urban development programs), and international sister cities for cultural exchange. Leadership includes a Director of Economic Affairs and a Director of Tourism, signaling explicit focus on economic development and visitor economy functions.
