Education doesnÂ’t stop after youÂ’ve earned a degree in school; as a matter of fact, it is only beginning because there is always more to learn, especially in technical fields. And in those fields there is also the possibility of creating new inventions that can change the world. Once these are invented, they need to be marketed. At Hebrew University in Jerusalem, such Technology Transfers are done though through a company called Yissum, found at http://www.yissum.co.il.

The Technology Transfer Office of Yissum takes care of all the marketing of inventions created by the great researchers and students of Hebrew University. And these are not limited to a single field of knowledge, because the university and the company have a wide range of intellectual properties and in a wide variety of fields. These include nanotechnology, medicine and its related field pharmaceuticals, water and environmental technologies, computer science, agriculture, nutrition, homeland security and many more. For over four decades, Yissum has been marketing these various inventions around the world, helping to expand the worldÂ’s wealth of knowledge developed by this crown jewel of IsraelÂ’s higher education system. These Technology Transfer Services have worked to make Yissum a strong company with over a billion dollars in sales annually.
