Beating national competitors in the bidding process, Cornell and the Technion won the opportunity to create Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. Nearly 15 years later, Cornell Tech has educated more than 2,700 students and undertaken groundbreaking research on AI and other new technologies. The Jacobs Institute is also home to the Runway Startups program, which attracts postdoctoral founders from around the world to build new companies at Cornell Tech. Cornell Tech is deeply grateful for the successful academic partnership we have built with our Technion colleagues, and proud of what the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute has achieved. Greg Morrisett is the Jack and Rilla Neafsey Dean and Vice Provost of Cornell Tech.
