I welcome our opportunity, as an enterprise based in Jerusalem that develops tools and services for advanced editing and monetisation of photos and videos on mobile platforms, to apply advanced technologies in order to narrow the distance between the two. We are delighted to be a part in the competition, which aims to make the National Library accessible and digital, while connecting technology to the world of the written, photographed, and filmed content creation.”
