Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Donation | 2023-10 | $1,500,000 | Magen David Adom Donated $1.5 million to Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency medical service, following the October 7 attacks. | |
| Employee donation match | 2023-10 | — | Nonprofits supporting Israel and Gaza relief Matched employee donations dollar-for-dollar; employees had contributed roughly $200,000 by mid-October 2023. | |
| Acquisition | 2016-06-20 | — | Maglan (Tel Aviv area, Israel) Accenture announced on 20 June 2016 that it had acquired Maglan, a privately held Israeli cybersecurity company founded in 1998 and based in the Tel Aviv area, specialising in offensive cyber simulation, cyber forensics and malware defence. Financial terms were not disclosed. Accenture said the deal advances its strategy of using Israel as a cybersecurity innovation hub, and that Maglan's capabilities would form the core of a future Accenture Cyber Fusion Center in Israel. A corporate acquisition — commerce, not a donation or a statement of support. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2016-06 | — | Accenture's Israeli development centre (Herzliya) Geektime reported on 20 June 2016 that Accenture was moving the staff of its Israeli development centre — first opened in 2001 — into a new centre in Herzliya, which the acquired Maglan team would join. A separate Israeli trade report on an Accenture client event held in Tel Aviv in April 2018 describes an Accenture Israel organisation with its own banking practice, addressing Israeli banking, insurance, credit, hi-tech and retail clients. Ordinary commercial operations in the country, not support. | |
| Investment / program | 2016 | — | Team8 (Israeli cybersecurity foundry) Accenture's own 20 June 2016 announcement counted the Maglan purchase as its fifth cybersecurity investment in the preceding months, and listed among the earlier ones a minority investment in Team8 — which Accenture calls a cybersecurity foundry and Geektime describes as an Israeli cyber incubator founded by former senior officers of the military's Unit 8200. Geektime reported that Accenture had joined a $22 million funding round for Team8 about three months before the Maglan deal; that $22 million is the round total, not Accenture's stake, which neither source discloses. | |
