The goal of the Weizmann Institute of Science Entrepreneurship Program (WISe program) is to expose Weizmann's students to the world of technology entrepreneurship and be their doorway into it. We firmly believe that Weizmann's alumni must lead in every single vertical of our society – academia, industry and entrepreneurship and that we must find ways to help them do so. The WISe program offers Weizmann's students an exclusive program consisting of lectures and seminars that were tailor maid to provide them the basic knowledge and skills necessary in order to launch and grow a startup venture. In addition, the participants lay the foundations for their own ventures during the program, accompanied by mentorship and support from experienced Weizmann alumni and other key players in the startup ecosystem.The program relies mostly on Weizmann's alumni. This allows us to leverage their knowledge in favor of current students and their future. We hope that together, students and alumni, we will create a strong network that will allow us to strengthen both our global and individual impacts.The broad range of disciplines in the Institute together with the broad range of WISe's network involved, allows a rich and interdisciplinary community to form. This, we believe, is the fertile soil for innovation.
