Strategic Analysis
In-depth assessment of the company's position, vulnerabilities, and recommended approaches for effective engagement.
High severity, lower vulnerability — requires long-term divestment pressure
Learn about our methodology — companies are categorised based on severity (harm potential) vs strategic vulnerability (campaign leverage).
Why do these scores change?
Unlike static boycott lists, our targeting model is dynamic. This company's position on the matrix is re-evaluated continually as we verify new contracts, divestments, or policy changes. Your reporting directly impacts this score.
Matrix IT represents a critical node in Israel's occupation infrastructure, providing the technological backbone for Palestinian population control and military operations. The company's involvement spans from biometric surveillance systems at checkpoints to military AI development for "automatic target identification on the future battlefield." With $1.67 billion in annual revenue and 11,570 employees, Matrix IT is deeply embedded in Israeli government operations, from the Ministry of Defense to the prison service.
Key Leverage Points
- UN Database Listing: Official OHCHR documentation since 2020 provides authoritative basis for divestment and exclusion campaigns
- Polish Parent Company: Formula Systems ownership by Asseco Poland creates EU regulatory and reputational pressure points
- Documented Surveillance Role: Meitar biometric system and Wisdom Stone data collection directly enable Palestinian population control at checkpoints
- Military AI Development: "Automatic target identification" systems and defence contractor services link to ongoing military operations
- Settlement Physical Presence: Modi'in Illit subsidiary provides concrete evidence of international law violations
Evidence Summary
The evidence against Matrix IT is comprehensive and well-documented. Who Profits and AFSC Investigate provide detailed records of contracts including the Meitar biometric checkpoint system (NIS 136,663 contract, September 2024) and Wisdom Stone surveillance system (NIS 804,960 contract, January 2024). The company's Modi'in Illit subsidiary, established in 2005 and originally named "Talpiot" after the IDF elite programme, demonstrates physical presence in illegal settlements. Leadership includes a retired IDF major general who commanded forces in the occupied West Bank. The company has been designated a supervised defence industry by the Israeli Minister of Defense, with Who Profits documenting increased military activity since October 2023.
Engagement Strategy
Target Asseco Poland as the ultimate parent company through EU regulatory pressure and Polish institutional investor engagement. Use UN OHCHR database listing as authoritative source for pension fund and institutional divestment campaigns, particularly in European markets. Document the biometric surveillance role to engage human rights organisations and technology ethics advocates. Challenge Matrix IT's participation in international IT industry events and partnerships. Support campaigns highlighting the company's role in checkpoint infrastructure and military AI development. Target banking and telecom clients (Israel Discount Bank documented) with information about their supplier's occupation role. Engage IT procurement professionals through industry channels on ethical sourcing and human rights due diligence requirements.
