Now, the Technion is ranked among the world s leading science and technology universities. But, unfortunately, Technion can t afford to rest on this past success. To the contrary, future Technion graduates will be faced with economic and military challenges that will require Israel to remain a world leader in the high-tech industry. It s a changing world almost daily and Technion must do more than keep pace. It must continue to lead.
Technology is an essential piece of Israel s present and future economic success.
In today s global economy, increasing demand is being placed on productivity increases, streamlined communications and technological leaps. In order to remain on the cutting edge of change, countries have to invest in education to provide the scientists, engineers, doctors, and programmers to satisfy growing demand. Fortunately, the Technion has, and will, continue to meet that challenge. In addition to the economy, the high-tech industry and Technion graduates remain essential to Israel s national security needs. As we pursue the goal of peace in the Middle East, new demands and challenges will be placed on Israel s military.
