The Technion: First Place in Israeli Academia According to Globes Brand Index

This is the first year that higher education has been included in the Globes Brand Index. The index reveals that in response to the question of where to study, one in five Israelis recommends the Technion over any other academic institution. Additionally, the index shows that relevance to the labor market is the main criterion when choosing a university today.

Every year, Globes publishes the 100 leading brands in Israel, and this year it included institutions of higher education for the first time. The index is based on a particularly broad survey of 3,500 respondents, aged 18 and over, who constitute a representative sample of the Israeli population, including Haredi and Arab communities. The survey was conducted between April and May by the New Wave Institute, an external and independent research institute specializing in consumerism.

The Technion, which opened its doors 100 years ago, is among the top 100 universities in the world according to the prestigious Shanghai Index and among the top 10 technological universities globally. The Technion has gained a worldwide reputation for its pioneering work in many fields, including science, technology, medicine, education, and architecture. According to Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan, “The Technion reaching first place in the higher education category in the Brands Index is an important and exciting vote of confidence in our centennial year. For one hundred years, more than one hundred thousand graduates, and thousands of administrative and academic staff have fortified the security, economy, and society of the State of Israel and continue to shape its future out of a deep commitment and mission.”
