In addition to the highly promising technical idea behind g.ho.st, the way the Palestinian start-up works is also worth mentioning. Beside commercial success, Schreiber’s concept when founding this company was to encourage peaceful dialogue in the Middle East. The start-up is supposed to serve as a role model for international understanding in Palestine. G.ho.st has two pillars in this region. One office is located in the Israeli city Modi’in, the other in Palestinian Ramallah. Although the two towns are geographically only a one hour’s drive apart, the distance which is the origin of conflicts between Palestine and Israel is not conquerable without further ado. Nevertheless, in order to facilitate an effective cooperation a continuous video hook-up connecting the two offices has been arranged, for example.

Zvi Schreiber demonstrates the fact that the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israeli can also be peacefully solved by cooperating. In its own special way, the project g.ho.st illustrates the positive and highly innovative synergies which can result from such ideas.
