A Night of Innovation: Ben-Gurion University Students Present Hackathon Projects Developed with Brown University Students

What a wonderful evening we had yesterday hosting the Israeli Neurotech students from Ben-Gurion University and learning about their impressive and innovative projects!

A heartfelt thank you to Social Enterprise Greenhouse and Julie Owens for graciously hosting the event. Thank you to Rhode Island Secretary of Commerce Stefan Pryor for your warm remarks and participation. We also deeply appreciate our collaboration with American Friends of Ben-Gurion University, especially Eve Rubinstein, for helping make this program possible.

A special thank you to Professor Oren Shriki for bringing such an outstanding group of students and for leading this remarkable initiative.

This program is a wonderful example of the growing collaboration between Ben-Gurion University and the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University.

We at the Rhode Island–Israel Collaborative (RIIC) are proud to help build and strengthen these relationships. We look forward to continuing to expand the partnership between Israel and Rhode Island in academia, business, and research, creating new opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and economic growth.
