Har Hotzvim Hi-Tech Park is a hub for the finest companies in the Israeli hi-tech industry, making it one of the largest and leading hi-tech centers in Israel.
The park is home to some of the largest and leading companies in the international and Israeli markets, such as: Intel, Mobileye, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Ophir Optronics Solutions, Elbit Systems Rokar, Rafa Laboratories, Alpha Tau, and many others. Beyond the large corporations, the park also serves as a home for medium-sized, small, and start-up hi-tech companies.
Har Hotzvim High-Tech Park was established in the early 1970s on the northwestern edge of Jerusalem as a development site for knowledge-intensive and technology industries in Jerusalem. Since then, the park has grown and developed, becoming an important and leading high-tech center in the heart of the State of Israel, attracting employees from all over the central region. Today, it employs approximately 15,000 workers.
The Har Hotzvim hi-tech park is conveniently located near all major transportation routes in the Jerusalem metropolitan area, offering excellent accessibility for visitors arriving from within Jerusalem as well as from outside the city, including Modiin and Tel Aviv.
In the 1960s, a stone quarry called “Jerusalem Quarries” operated in the area. The quarry was closed in the late 1960s following complaints from residents, which allowed the establishment of the industrial zone several years later. The initiative to establish the “Science-Intensive Industries” campus began in 1968 by the Hebrew University.
Actual establishment through a dedicated company established for this purpose, “Kiryat Industries Atirot Mada B.M.”, which was equally owned by the Jerusalem Economic Corporation and the Hebrew University. In the first stage, an area of 100 dunams was developed with an investment of 2 million IL.
In 1971, the first factory was established in Har Hotzvim, a factory of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, in which drugs were manufactured over the years using various technologies. By 1975, the construction of six factories in the park was completed.
In 1990, the Jerusalem Municipality initiated a plan to expand the industrial zone area by an additional 70 dunams, at the expense of the forest area that was planted on the site.
In 1993, “Minhelet Har-Hotzvim” (the Association for the Development of the Kirya for Science Industries Har-Hotzvim) was established by the park companies and the Jerusalem Development Authority in order to deal, among other things, with the development of the park and the provision of services to companies and their employees.
As of 2025, the park, which covers 500 dunams, employs approximately 9,500 workers in approximately 250 knowledge-intensive and technology companies and service-providing companies. The built-up area in the park covers 350,000 square meters in 29 buildings.
The park covers an area of approximately 500 dunams. The construction potential is in the range of 650,000 square meters, of which approximately 500,000 square meters are currently built out of approximately 610,000 square meters approved. A tremendous development trend has changed the face of the area in the last decade, and the number of employees on site in 2025 is approximately 15,000 workers. A further increase in the number of employees is expected soon. Har Hotzvim High-Tech Park has several leading advantages:
The Marom Plan, initiated by the Israeli government, grants the city of Jerusalem a superior status for the purpose of strengthening the capital as a tourist city and as a leading city in the fields of biotechnology and high-tech. Therefore, the city receives important grants for the development of the high-tech and biotechnology industry in its territory.
The uniqueness of the park is its proximity to leading academic institutions in the fields of technology and engineering, a proximity that does not exist in the peripheral areas. Many academic institutions operate in Jerusalem in the fields of high-tech, engineering, and technology, providing a high-quality and readily available workforce for the high-tech companies operating in the area.
The location of the park and convenient transportation arteries lead to short travel times for its employees, both for those coming from Jerusalem and those coming from the center of the country.
The park is currently undergoing further development and expansion, at the end of which it is intended to employ approximately 25,000 workers in hundreds of high-tech companies. As part of these processes, an upgrade of sidewalks and environmental development, the establishment of a leisure plaza with cafes in the heart of the park, the paving of two roads, the construction of underground parking lots, commercial services, a kindergarten, and additional services that will meet all the needs of the employees and companies in the park are also planned.
Includes the development of five new plots and the paving of a road that will connect Shlomo Halevi Street with the road that surrounds the former Teva tablet factory.
Includes the upgrading of the public space, the upgrading of sidewalks, and the construction of a tower with space for leisure activities and cafes in the place where the Intel parking lot is currently located.
The Gan Hotzvim plan will expand the Har Hotzvim High-Tech Park by 150,000 m², designated for computing departments of government offices, support services, and commercial spaces (such as cafés, etc.). Under Golda Meir Boulevard, the plan also includes digging a tunnel that will provide direct access to the park and the underground parking lots to be built in the new buildings, as well as to HaMarpe Street. The plan also incorporates a public parking lot with 200 spaces, as a replacement for the currently open parking areas.
The tower is planned to have 22 floors, plus an additional eight floors for underground parking. The building area is approximately 10,000 m². Currently, a six-story pharmaceutical factory by Rafa is being constructed on the western part of the plot, which will be integrated into the new plan. The total proposed building area in the plan is 63,500 m², of which 38,000 m² is for the main area and 25,500 m² is for service areas. The tower is intended to host research companies until they complete product or product line research and development.
In the planning and application process for building permits are plans to add floors to the following buildings: Amot Building, Hadarim House, Rampa Building, and Har Hotzvim Mall.
The road is planned to connect Yigal Yadin Street at the entrance to the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood with Har Hotzvim at the beginning of Hartom Street. The road will allow a northern entrance to Har Hotzvim (currently, the three entrances to the park are from Golda Meir Boulevard) and will also shorten the route and travel time for those traveling to the Romema area. The route of the road is from the Ramat Shlomo-Yigal Yadin junction to the beginning of Hartom Street, in the area of the Ophir Optronics Solutions building. Its length is one kilometer and it is expected to open towards the year 2027.
