The ranking was based on an analysis of the alma maters of 250 chief executive officers of US tech companies with a market value of more than $1 billion. According to the Bloomberg review, “Israel is now home to one of the world's top tech hubs, and Technion is where many of the country's brightest go to train.

“Stratasys CEO David Reis is one notable Technion alumnus. His 3-D printer maker acquired New York-based MakerBot Industries for at least US $403 million earlier this year.” The company employs 1,500 workers around the world and has offices in Israel and North America.

“The Technion's ranking by the Bloomberg network, and the Technion's flattering ranking by Shanghai University, point to its high level and top position in the world,” said Technion President Prof. Peretz Lavie. “About one-quarter of Technion graduates serve in senior management positions. The Technion has a place of honor in turning Israel into a startup power,” he added.
