Israel’s university for science and technology invites delegates for exciting tour
30 delegates enjoyed a five-day tour around Israel meeting Technion start-ups and enjoying Israel’s rich culinary scene.
British Technion took delegates back to Israel for the first time in two years for its first post-Covid “out of this world” tour.
30 delegates enjoyed a five-day tour around Israel meeting Technion related start-ups and enjoying Israel’s rich culinary scene.
Delegates met teams from StoreDot, a startup creating extreme-fast charging batteries, and
Elbit Systems, a high-tech defence and homeland security company.
They also met Space Pharma, a company that is trying to grow meat products from animal cells on intergalactic low waste farms.
Boasting two former Technion students, Space Pharma also uses miniaturised microgravity lab technology to help develop new drugs in Space at a fraction of the cost of traditional research methods.
Delegates were also introduced to Maayan Jaffe Hoffman, former Head of Strategy for the Jerusalem Post, David Horovitz, founding editor of the Times of Israel and Superintendent Micky Rosenfeld, former Israel Police National Spokesman to the foreign media.
The trip included talks from former Technion President Professor Peretz Lavie, who set up the Center for Sleep Medicine and PillCam creator Rafi Nave.
Group participant, Letitia Baker, said: “The Technion UK trip to Israel is a must! It not only encompasses the world-class achievements of the Technion but also provides a friendly, professional and informative experience of the many achievements of Israel.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
