Technion Celebrates 100 Years With Commemorative Stamp Presentation

The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, one of the world’s leading research institutions, is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a special commemorative stamp issued in collaboration with Israel Post’s Philatelic Service.

Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog to present the stamp and reflect on the university’s century of groundbreaking achievements.

“Technion is a symbol of Israeli excellence: 100 years of innovation, groundbreaking research, and world-class achievements,” Herzog said. “It is a leading scientific and technological institution, home to Nobel Prize laureates, and a bridge for collaboration between Israel and the world.”

The stamp, designed by Pini Hemo, features the historic Technion building in Haifa alongside symbols representing its contributions to science and technology, including a molecule for chemistry breakthroughs, a DNA strand for medical advancements, and an electron symbolizing engineering innovations.

Founded in 1924 with just 17 students, the Technion has grown into a global powerhouse, producing four Nobel Prize winners and playing a pivotal role in Israel’s scientific and economic development. From pioneering research in artificial intelligence and sustainable energy to advancements in medicine and space technology, its impact continues to shape the future.

“The Technion’s journey is nothing short of a miracle,” said Prof. Sivan. “From a single building to a global leader in science and technology, we are deeply grateful to President Herzog and Israel Post for recognizing this historic milestone.”

The centennial stamp will be available for public purchase starting February 11 on the Philatelic Service’s website. Share this article or subscribe to our newsletter for updates to celebrate a century of Israeli innovation and excellence.
