Technion Society

A Technion Society is a society to promote the scientific connections between the country of the respective society and the Technion , the Technical University of Israel in Haifa , as well as to support the ideal and material work of the Technion. For example, student exchanges are supported by generous grants.

Technion companies exist in 17 countries. The first Technion Society was founded in Germany in 1923 as the German Committee for the Technical Institute in Haifa and (after it was banned under the National Socialists) re-established in 1982 by Eduard Pestel .

The first president of the German Technion Society was Albert Einstein . Einstein was also a co-founder of the largest technion society, the American Technion Society , which was founded in 1940 and now has 20,000 supporters.
