Israel's Gross Domestic Product What's behind the surge of Israel's GDP to $100 billion? The global success of Israeli high-tech industry. Who's behind that historic surge? The graduates of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, who generate nearly a third of the GDP. Technion graduates make up most of Israel's scientists and engineers. And the entrepreneurs behind its 2,000 start-up companies. - THE FUTURE OF A SECURE AND ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT For six decades, the American Technion Society has supported "the MIT of Israel." Please join us in strengthening the Technion and helping Israel achieve economic independence.
