Israel's Technion to Open China Campus
The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has laid the cornerstone for a research center in Shantou, China with the construction of the Guandong Technion Israel Institute of Technology, which began Wednesday.
The institute is the product of a $130 million gift from investor Li Ka Shing and will be a joint venture between the Technion and Shantou University.
“[T]he establishment of a Technion campus in China is more proof that Israeli innovation is breaking down geographic borders,” former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres said at the groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday. “I hope that the economic cooperation between these two countries will continue to expand, as both countries have much to share with, and learn from, one another.”
