About the Technion

The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology is the number one driver of innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship in Israel. For more than 100 years it has been the technological engine of the nation, and no other university holds more promise for Israel’s future.

Technion students are encouraged to pursue the unconventional, to reach beyond the confines of their disciplines, and to make the seemingly impossible possible. Alumni carry that innovative spirit to some of the highest positions within the Israeli government, security establishment, and multinational corporations, shaping the future of Israel and the Jewish people.

The Startup Nation began at the Technion. Its graduates designed Israel’s railroads, highways, and bridges, as well as its telecommunications infrastructure, national water carrier, desalination plants, and electrical grid. Israel’s high-tech industry emerged from the Technion with breakthroughs in chip design, aerospace engineering, cybersecurity, and microelectronics. Vital DefenseTech safeguarding the nation, including the Arrow Antimissile System, Iron Dome, and Iron Beam, were developed by alumni.

Technion ingenuity is addressing some of humankind’s most pressing problems: ending hunger and water scarcity, discovering sustainable energy alternatives, and developing noninvasive cancer therapies and other medical interventions. Whatever new challenge Israel faces, it’s likely the solution will be born at the Technion.

A global university with an international footprint, the Technion maintains a presence on three continents: Haifa (Israel), New York (USA), and Shantou (China).
