Jerusalem College of Technology

The Jerusalem College of Technology–Lev Academic Center has a history of excellence in engineering, electro-optics and defense-related R&D. Approximately half of JCT’s students study engineering, including computer science, electro-optics, electronics and industrial engineering. Other specialties at JCT include business, accounting, and life and health sciences. Students come from Israel and 38 countries around the world. JCT graduates have established numerous high-tech companies and are top engineers in the country’s aerospace and defense industries.
Teams worked to pitch solutions addressing challenges in health care, education, fintech, defense and venture capital.
It comes in response to the growing national demand for skilled professionals in Israel’s defense technology sector.
“On my very first day, I saw how urgently JCT’s work matters,” she said, describing her transition to the organization as a “trial by war.”
Zvi Ryzman’s expertise and passions strongly align with JCT’s institutional character as one of Israel’s most prestigious and unique academic institutions with a focus on science and technology.
Recognized alongside 11 others, his accomplishments include being as chairman of the board of the Jerusalem College of Technology and helping establishing the College’s Tal Campus for Women.
“I’ve always liked computers and tinkering with things,” said Levi Holtzman of Teaneck, N.J., part of a group of international students who won the prize for best presentation.
JCT attracts students from 40 countries, who choose the college for its unique combination of rigorous academic standards and religious environment.
Qualifying students will be eligible for a wide range of benefits, in addition to full-tuition scholarships.
The technologies were developed at the Jerusalem College of Technology’s “Hack.Her.It” competition, which empowers religious women to become innovators in the workforce.
