More than 100 young

professionals headed

Downtown to network

with their peers at

Shinola.

A Technion alumnus did. In May 2012, paraplegic Claire Lomas
finished the London Marathon in 14 days using ReWalk, a
lightweight, computer-assisted exoskeleton developed by Technion
alumnus Dr. Amit Goffer, who is paralyzed from the chest down.
Says Goffer of his invention, "Everything was based on the basic
education that I received at the Technion, which is priceless." And
he is developing ReWalk further, so more people can use it. There
are many more breakthroughs at the Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology. As one of the world's leading universities in science,
technology and medicine, the Technion is a major source of
innovation. The brainpower of its graduates helps drive the Israeli
economy and contributes to the health and wellbeing of people
in Israel and around the world. The American Technion Society
consists of thousands of people in the United States who support
the Technion. Please join us and help make the next generation
of Technion breakthroughs possible. Visit www.atsdetroit.org
