More recently, it has pushed the boundaries in many scientific areas, with four Nobel laureates and many other distinguished researchers contributing advancements in areas from chemistry and medicine to aerospace and computer science. The Technion has 19 faculties (departments) but is also known for strong interdisciplinary work. Some of the more recent initiatives focus on sustainability, human health, and biotechnology and food engineering. These are important projects that could improve the quality of life for all of us.

And we can’t forget the Technion’s impact on the Israeli economy, helping to turn a small agricultural economy into one of the most vibrant high-tech economies on the planet – the so-called “Startup Nation.” An estimated 80% of Israeli companies listed on the NASDAQ exchange were founded and/or are led by Technion graduates.

At the American Technion Society (ATS), our mission is to support this wonderful institution. I’ve been pleased to be involved with the ATS for most of my life, and to be president of the ATS New York Metro chapter for the past few years. Along the way, I’ve been thrilled to see the Technion create a joint graduate institute with Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island in New York – which brings much of the Technion DNA closer to home – and to have the opportunity to meet with scores of talented Technion faculty and students to discuss their research.

Please join us in our efforts to support the Technion, with its vital contributions to Israel and its economy as well as science and technology across the globe.
