Israel’s first university MBA program in Med-Tech Innovation, the program is a feeder for C-level managers into corporations, mid-size companies and start-ups in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical devices, and hospital laboratory research.

Israel has long been at the forefront of innovation in medicine, developing groundbreaking, often life-saving, treatments for a range of conditions, from cancer to diabetes, Parkinson’s disease to hernias. It is this biomedical management expertise that we seek to share with our international students through our international Med-Tech Innovation program, so that they in turn can share principles of best practice with their home countries.

The Hebrew University Business School has created a practical, relevant and up-to-date Med-Tech Innovation program to teach and train the future leadership and management of companies across the spectrum of the biomedical sector.

Designed in cooperation with industry leaders, this practical and relevant program has academic, industrial and business knowledge integrated throughout. Students also benefit from several value-added elements, such as professional internships with leading biomedical professionals, learning from and networking with internationally acclaimed experts, and exposure to new technologies emerging from leading hospitals in Israel.
