INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

The Technion is Israel’s leading scientific and technological center for applied research and education. Often referred to as “Israel’s MIT” the Technion was founded in 1924, making it the first institution of higher learning in Israel. It commands a worldwide reputation for it’s pioneering work in computer science, biotechnology, water-resource management, materials engineering, aerospace and electrical engineering as well as medicine. From microsatellites and microchips to brilliant engineers and entrepreneurs, the Technion is propelling Israel toward better security and
economic independence. The Technion’s 18 faculties (departments) and 30 research centers and institutes in Haifa, are home to 13,500 students and more than 700 faculty members.
The Majority of the founders and managers of Israel’s high tech companies are Technion graduates. In fact, Technion graduates lead 62 out of Israel’s 94 high-tech companies, and 90 of Israel’s 100 top companies. These graduates generate onethird of Israel’s $100 million GDP.
The ATS has raised $972 million since its inception in 1940, more than half that during the past eight years. The ATS, with more than 20,000 supporters and 17 offices around the nation,

ABOUT SHAARE ZEDEK MEDICAL CENTER

Shaare Zedek, affectionately known as “The Hospital With A Heart,” is renowned for its unique blend of superior medical treatment combined with special care. When Shaare Zedek, one of the oldest hospitals in Jerusalem, was officially opened in 1902, it was considered ultramodern and ahead of its time. Throughout the years the medical center has pioneered in many areas of medicine, targeting the needs of the people of Israel. Since then, the hospital has created services and facilities that have made global impacts on the medical profession. Over the decades, high demands for added medical care resulted in the expansion of the hospital’s facilities on Jaffa Road to 18 buildings and a 250-bed capacity. In 1979, the decision was made to build a 500-bed medical center, which is now located on a 14-acre site opposite Mt. Herzl. Shaare Zedek is centrally located in the heart of Jerusalem and easily accessible throughout the city. The 1,300,000 square-foot complex consists of ten linked buildings comprised of ten floors. The lower three levels were built underground – not in response to construction requirements, but due to practical foresight. The hospital has a long-standing tradition for compassionate care and an outstanding reputation as one of the premier hospitals in the world in several specialties, namely, the Wilf Woman and Infant Center; the Jesselson Heart Center, as well as palliative care,
and medical genetics. The hospital has maintained a longstanding tradition excellence when helping people in search of medical care. Shaare Zedek Medical Center continues to be a haven for the sick and injured, serving the people of Israel and ensuring the future of a nation. ■
