The Technion was founded at a time when young Jewish people in Europe could not study without hindrance. The foundation stone was laid in Haifa in 1912 and the training of the first engineers began in 1924, 24 years before the state of Israel was founded. The entire planning and financing of the first Technion building and its maintenance was carried out from Germany.<\/p>\n\n

Albert Einstein was the first chairman of the first Technion Society<\/strong>, which was founded in his apartment in Berlin-Sch\u00f6neberg. The university, which was named the Technical University when the State of Israel was founded, opened an incubator for spin-offs at an early stage, which developed ideas and inventions from Technion scientists to product maturity. It was followed by Israel’s first technology park on the coast of Haifa, MATAM, which quickly became home to countless start-ups by Technion alumni and global players.<\/p>\n\n
