t:day 2025: Four Hubs, One Day of Inspiration
Dream. Initiate. Achieve. Each year, the Technion t:hub (Technion Hub for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) holds the Technion's official entrepreneurship event—a celebration of ideas, inspiration, opportunities, and the intersection of technology, creativity, and community. This year, the event took place on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, under the theme "Dream. Initiate. Achieve." The entire campus transformed into a vibrant innovation arena, with the event running simultaneously across four main Technion locations. Hundreds of participants—students, researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, and external guests—moved between the different complexes, each offering rich, diverse, and thought-provoking content. 💡 This year, we also maintained a clear principle: entrepreneurship isn't just for a select few; it's a way of thinking open to everyone. The event was designed to speak to the student just starting their journey, the experienced researcher, the one who has already founded a venture, and the one just beginning to dream.
