The experience we build upon
Founders
  The Center was established in 1979 by the
late Professor I. Kidron and Professor A. Bar-Lev
as part of the Technion's Department of
Electrical Engineering. Since its establishment
it has advanced to the forefront of Israel's
technological community making a critical
contribution to the country'' scientific,
industrial and economic development.
You can find many of our graduates at key
positions in the silicon valley

Making use of our experience
What is our vision here ?
Take the set of tools that every electrical
engineer has
Create a similar set of tools but in the context
of nano-electronics
The rest will happen by itself
You will find many of our graduates at key
positions in the carbon valley
