PEARLS OF WISDOM ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Pearls of Wisdom is a non-profit, tax exempt association dedicated to initiating and enhancing Israeli advances in Nanotechnology. The Association was inspired by the vision of Mr. Shimon Peres, the President of Israel, who foresaw the importance of Nanotechnology for Israel's future. We share his view that close, ongoing cooperation between Academia and Industry is needed for the country's sustainable future economic growth. It is our mission to build and promote an innovative Nanotechnology-ba... sed infrastructure in order to guarantee the continuing technological excellence that will ensure Israel's future. Since its establishment in 2006, the Association has gathered scholars from the worlds of Academia and Finance, Public and Private Industry, and the Defense sectors - representing a unique mix of academic and business knowledge and experience. These vast human resources are being leveraged in the accomplishment of our mission - fostering the Research Incentive Program that is designed for Israeli Nanotechnology researchers and directed by leading figures from Israel's universities and research institutions. These researchers will help lay a solid foundation for the country's economy, enabling it to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
