SYNC

SYNC is a US-based nonprofit working to unlock the potential of Syria’s technology talent and help create a technology-driven economy. Founded by members of the Syrian technology diaspora in Silicon Valley, the organization connects technologists and innovators across the global Syrian technology community with employers, investors, academics, policymakers, and peers. Its mission is to foster opportunity and create technical employment through collaboration, knowledge exchange, and community building. SYNC has set an ambitious goal of creating 25,000 technology jobs by 2030.

SYNC organizes its work around three core initiatives: connecting global employers with qualified technical professionals, preparing and matching talent to market demand, and building a worldwide network of Syrian technologists. The organization hosts conferences and community gatherings in cities including Silicon Valley, Berlin, London, Dubai, and Riyadh, as well as virtual events and specialized programs. It also runs English-language and Women in Tech initiatives. Led by volunteers, SYNC combines recruiting and talent support with programs designed to strengthen skills, create professional connections, and expand access to meaningful work.
