How does Israel produce 95% of the food it consumes and export nearly $1.7B in agricultural products, when more than half of its land is desert?

The answer starts with people. Israel's greatest resource is its researchers and students, its dreamers and innovators, who develop the technologies that bring bountiful harvests and water to the desert.

Just as the Technion helped turn the Negev green, it continues to develop agricultural technologies that serve farmers and communities in Israel and around the world.

Thank you for being part of the community that makes this research possible. For those who celebrate, we wish you and your family, Sukkot Sameach.

Nearly 75% of the world's food crops depend on bees.

In some regions, colony losses have climbed as high as 50% a year.

An Israeli startup called Beewise is poised to solve the problem.

They built a solar-powered hive that watches over up to a million bees at once, using cameras and AI to track temperature, parasites, and brood health around the clock.

Under the R&D leadership of Nir Shachar, who earned his engineering degree and MBA at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Beewise managed to cut colony losses to below 10% across its hives.

For Rosh Hashanah this year, we're toasting to the bees that made it possible for us to dip our apples into honey, and to the people working behind the scenes to keep them alive.

Wishing you and your family a sweet new year that is full and resilient as a well-tended hive.

This back to school season, we're raising money for Technion - Israel Institute of Technology students who have the talent but need additional support to succeed.

Your gift today means more than keeping a student enrolled.

It's an investment in who they will become, and is fundamentally rooted in the belief that Technion students have the capacity to change the world.

More than 44% of the Technion's student body are women.

Neta Blum's (B.Sc., M.Sc.) impact on Israeli society and technology apparatus is a reminder of why that ratio matters to the Technion.

An aerospace engineer completing her Ph.D. at Technion's Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Neta spent years studying how planes fracture and how the human body fails.

Her work has landed her on the Forbes Israel 30 Under 30 list, and The Jerusalem Post named her one of Israel's 50 most influential Jews.

At TEDxTechnion, Neta discusses what that "only woman in the room" feeling actually did to her sense of purpose, and why she decided to change the rules instead of living inside them.

For Neta, purpose is not discovered or found. It's built.

In 2017, she founded AT, a nonprofit that puts young women in front of female role models in STEM so they can see what's possible before anyone tells them otherwise.

Thank you Neta for all that you do and for all that you stand for.

Traditional MRI gives you one image every 1-2 minutes. 🧠

A team led by Dr. Eddy Solomon at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology's Faculty of Biomedical Engineering just got that down to one image per second.

The method, called ELITE, uses AI to track contrast agent flow through breast tissue almost continuously instead of in slow snapshots. Dynamic MRI already catches breast cancer with over 90% accuracy, compared to 50-60% for ultrasound and mammography combined.

In a study of 54 patients, the team saw sharper tumor visibility and better differentiation between benign and malignant growths. Shorter scans also mean more women can be screened on the same machine.

For the radiologist reading the scan, what changes when a snapshot becomes a live feed?

"We know how to cure cancer in mice. Now let's focus on people."

This quote comes from Asst. Prof. Assaf Zinger, whose lab at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology recently published research in ACS Nano showing how drug-free nanoparticles can halt triple-negative breast cancer by blocking the immune cells cancer hijacks to survive.

Triple-negative breast cancer is 13% of cases. It represents 40% of breast cancer deaths.

Most of us know someone who has battled breast cancer. Keep going, Zinger!

The women's health revolution starts with being seen. Now, what if ultrasound could detect what even MRIs miss?

Meet EndoCure, the Israeli startup tackling one of women’s health’s biggest diagnostic failures: endometriosis, a condition that's misdiagnosed in the vast majority of cases.

Its robotic ultrasound produces 3D images 10x denser than MRI, detecting tiny lesions that traditional scans often miss.

Co-founded by Technion professor and robotics pioneer Moshe Shoham, it’s already in clinical trials, offering new hope for earlier and more accurate diagnosis.

Too lazy to learn Adobe After Effects? With this new AI motion graphics technology developed at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology , you won't need to.

Time to Move enables everyday users an intuitive tool for creating realistic video clips, without requiring enormous compute.

The AI watches how you drag and trace, then uses that input to animate objects in the video exactly the way you intended. All done without burning through tokens.

Graphic design is becoming a lot more accessible.

As part of Project Give Back one student from Associated Hebrew Schools nailed his presentation on Technion Canada.

Watch as he highlights the Technion's impact in ai, quantum computing and medicine.

We couldn't have explained it better ourselves. Definitely deserves an A+

The bonus was that his mom told us that he wants to study there one day.

Technion - Israel Institute of Technology can you pull a few strings?

As a Companion of the Order of Canada and one of the country's most distinguished chemists, Howard Alper has spent decades at the intersection of science and impact.

As one of Canada's most decorated chemists, he and his wife Anne have seen a lot of universities.

They say the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology is one of the few that's truly remarkable.

Forty years after first visiting the Technion in 1982, Anne and Howard made it part of their legacy.

They are funding new faculty, research, and essential equipment at an institution they believe have the capacity to change the world.

What do Anne and Howard see at the Technion that sets it apart? Find out! Link to their full story in the comments.
