Why Entrepreneurship at Technion?
A recent MIT survey ranked Technion as one of the world's leading universities (6th place) for "Creating an Eco-System of Entrepreneurship and Innovation," and as the #1 university in doing so under challenging conditions.
At Technion, you can study innovation and entrepreneurship at the birthplace of many of Israel's most exciting technological innovations contributing to the country's modern start-up economy, famously coined as the "start-up nation."
"...Israel has more high-tech start-ups per capita than any other nation on earth, by far. It leads the world in civilian research-and-development spending per capita. It ranks second behind the U.S. in the number of companies listed on the NASDAQ. Israel, with seven million people, attracts as much venture capital as France and Germany combined..." David Brooks, The New York Times
Technion – Israel's premier Institute for science, technology and applied research, has been at the forefront of this innovation, having trained most of the country's top engineers and managers and lead countless industry related research.

About the Program
Join us for a one-month English summer program in Entrepreneurship. The program gives international students an opportunity to study and explore Israel's fascinating business ecology and experience a taste of the Technion's high-level academic standards. The program addresses one of the most critical fields in modern technology management -- the initiation, development and expansion of technology firms from their earliest stages.
Students will learn how to identify, value, and capture business opportunities, and how to go about starting their own company. As part of the program, teams of 4-6 students will develop an idea into a new high-tech business model, write a business plan for the commercialization of the idea, and present it at the end of the course in front of a panel of academics and industry specialists. The academic program combines classroom instruction with some off-site activities including business and industry site visits.
Students will gain 6.5-7.5 academic credits.
Cost of Program: $6000 including housing and lunch (for a session)
