In February of 2012, NYC Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced Technion Prof. Craig Gotsman<\/a> will serve as founding director of the Technion-Cornell \u00a0Innovation Institute. Mayor\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Bloomberg made the announcement at the headquarters of Tumblr, one of the City\u2019s fastest-growing technology companies, was joined by Tumblr CEO David Karp, Dean Huttenlocher, Cathy Dove, New York City Economic President Seth Pinsky, Chief Digital Officer Rachel Sterne, Office of Media & Entertainment Commissioner Katherine Oliver and representatives from Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Bitly and YouTube.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cNew York City is quickly becoming the center of the digital universe, and today\u2019s announcements will help us get there,\u201d said Mayor Bloomberg. \u201cWith this fantastic leadership team in place, the tech campus will help us attract and develop more talent to energize our growing tech sector. And our social media platforms will give New Yorkers the information they need on the channels they want to use.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe addition of Prof. Craig Gotsman as Director of the campus\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Technion-Cornell \u00a0Innovation Institute<\/span>\u00a0brings added luster to this impressive team. Cornell, Technion and the city are very lucky to have such talented people leading our exciting new campus.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The TCII will confer dual Cornell\/Technion Masters of Applied Sciences degrees, based on a curriculum with a unique emphasis on the application of sciences, entrepreneurship and management.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cCornell and the Technion have outlined ambitious plans for a world-class applied sciences campus in the heart of New York City, and executing on those plans will require outstanding academic leaders like Daniel Huttenlocher, Cathy Dove and Craig Gotsman,\u201d Deputy Mayor Steel said. \u201cCongratulations to Presidents Skorton and Lavie and the entire Cornell and Technion communities on the selection of the NYC Tech leadership team.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWith the selection of Cornell and the Technion, we were fortunate to find the perfect partners – two world-class institutions which together shared our vision of how to change the City\u2019s economy forever,\u201d said New York City Economic Development Corporation President Pinsky. \u201cTo fulfill this bold vision will require strong leadership, and there are no leaders better equipped for this challenge than Dan Huttenlocher, Cathy Dove and Craig Gotsman. With this team at the helm, the NYCTech campus will soon begin creating the new technologies and businesses that will ensure our place as the undisputed world capital of innovation.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe welcome the appointments of Professor Dan Huttenlocher and Cathy Dove, to which we add that of Technion Professor Craig Gotsman as Founding Director of the Technion-Cornell Innovation Institute,\u201d said Peretz Lavie, President of the Technion. \u201cWe have complete faith that this team can and will efficiently and professionally promote the ambitious program we have planned for New York City.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/object><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe Technion-Cornell Innovation Institute will be dedicated to fulfilling Mayor Bloomberg\u2019s far-reaching vision for the future of New York City as the high-tech capital of the world. The TCII will become a fertile breeding ground for engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs who will contribute to the city\u2019s tech ecosystem, even before they graduate. The Technion is confident that its experience in building the Israeli high-tech sector will serve it well in New York City. Having a local partner as distinguished as Cornell University, can only guarantee a runaway success,\u201d said Prof. Gotsman.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Prof. Gotsman joined the Technion in 1992. As Associate Dean for External Relations, he founded and led the Computer Science faculty\u2019s Industrial Affiliates Program, a successful platform for promoting academic-industrial cooperation. In this capacity he conceived and developed an \u201cIndustrial Project\u201d course, which allows students to perform software projects offered and supervised by industrial experts; and the \u201cLapidim\u201d study program, which identifies and nurtures the next generation of high-tech leaders. He has founded and ran two start-up companies, one based on technology he developed at the Technion, and has consulted for numerous Fortune 100 companies. Prof. Gotsman holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was a visiting professor at Harvard University and ETH Zurich, and a research scientist at MIT. He has published more than 150 papers in the professional literature and has been awarded five U.S. patents.<\/span><\/div>\n
