As two global leaders of innovation, the University of California system and Israel signed an important agreement to foster technological innovation, research and development. Lea Speyer writes in The Algemeiner about this significant partnership fostered and signed by Project Interchange alumna, UC President Janet Napolitano.
In a statement referenced in the article, UC President Janet Napolitano said she is “delighted” to be working with Israel’s National Technological Innovation Authority (IIA) as an international partner to “propel the many discoveries and innovations from our campuses, labs and medical centers into world economies.”
