Science and technology in Palestine are fields of growing importance and development, despite facing significant constraints due to political and economic challenges. In recent years, there has been progress in areas such as information technology, biotechnology, and environmental sciences, with a number of startups and research initiatives emerging. Universities and research institutions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip contribute to scientific research and technological innovation, often collaborating with international partners.
However, the sector faces obstacles such as limited access to resources, restrictions on movement, and infrastructural deficiencies. Despite these hurdles, there is a strong drive towards advancing science and technology, with many Palestinians demonstrating resilience and creativity in overcoming barriers to progress.
