I always believed that I’m one of the many people today who are very lucky when it comes to being enrolled and having to study at one of my country’s finest universities. Although not one of the private exclusive universities of the land, it being a state university, it has everything a student would want to have in his or her school. It is equipped with great facilities and equipments to advance the knowledge of its students and also to further enhance the already competent team of professional teachers and other staff it employs.
And education doesn’t stop after you’ve already earned a degree in that school; as a matter of fact, it is only beginning because they also provide graduate studies where interested students to further educate themselves and even make researches about the society, technology and the world as a whole. And these researches can also make give them a fortune. This scheme is the same thing that Hebrew University of Jerusalem implements. And they do their Technology Transfer through their company called Yissum.
As the Technology Transfer Office and company of Hebrew University, Yissum takes care of all the marketing of inventions generated and brought about by its great researchers and students. And if you think that they are only concentrated in one field of learning, well think again because the university, and the company, has a wide range of intellectual properties and fields it pursues. Some of these are nanotechnology, medicine and its related field pharmaceuticals, water and environmental technologies, computer science, agriculture, nutrition, homeland security and many more. And because of this vast range of inventions, innovations and ideas that would be very useful not only to the university or the country where it can be found but also to the world, Yissum was founded with an aim to make all of these intellectual property become available for everyone’s use in the market. For over four decades of bringing real, trusted and useful science, it has already become one of the world’s largest earning companies with nearly a billion dollar worldwide annual sales! But they’re not only about profit because there Technology Transfer Opportunities have also helped those other smaller and more specific companies to do well in business. At present, Yissum continues to have strong business ties with Israel’s business communities and also in the international scene. Visit them at http://www.yissum.co.il to know more.
