A plan to provide new and established industries in Israel with top-notch American consulting services was announced today by the American Technion Society which sponsors and supports the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
The Society has formed a nationwide panel of leading American engineers, scientists, industrialists and technical experts in a wide variety of fields. These experts, the Society said, will donate 100 hours of their professional time annually to the advancement of Israel’s industrial enterprises by providing consultative services, via correspondence, to the directors of the Israel plants.
“To date nearly 1,000 American authorities have joined the panel,” the announcement said. “Their skills range from expert knowledge in the erection of steel plants to authorities in the processing of food products. Many of them are outstanding leaders in their own fields of endeavors.” Under the plan, the managers of the Israel industries receiving professional advice from the American panel will pay for these services, in Israel funds, to the Technion.
