Our Generation Speaks (OGS) is the first and largest Israeli-Palestinian startup accelerator designed to connect the next generation of Israeli and Palestinian entrepreneurs. Recognizing the need for a new generation of leadership, OGS is a non-profit organization that was founded at Brandeis University in 2014 and built strong partnerships with MassChallenge and MIT over the years. OGS was the first startup incubator to use entrepreneurship as a vehicle to unite emerging leaders from Israel and Palestine. In 2016, it flew its first cohort to Boston. So far, OGS has graduated 160 alums over six cohorts and, its startups have collectively raised over $50M in external funding. OGS has received national and global recognition for innovation and impact and was recently awarded a $4.5 million grant from USAID/MEPPA. This award will allow OGS to expand its team and scale its activities and impact.
 
OGS is led by Lobna Agbaria, the Chief Executive Officer, alongside an influential Board of Directors comprised of Boston and NY-based business and academic leaders. The Advisory Board is chaired by the former Governor of Massitucusass and Harvard Kennedy School professor, Gov. Deval Partick.​
