The Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute embodies the academic partnership between the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Cornell University on the Cornell Tech campus.

With Israel’s reputation as the “StartupNation” and the Technion’s history of producing the country’s leading tech entrepreneurs, Cornell knew there was a common vision:
Israel is home to the greatest concentration of high-tech startup companies outside of the Silicon Valley.
Technion graduates comprise the majority of Israeli-educated scientists and engineers, constituting over 70% of the country’s founders and managers of high-tech industries. |
