Technion is the University from which ReWalk developer Amit Goffer obtained his BSc (Bachelors of Science Degree). It is also the oldest university in Israel. From the Technion Website "Technion graduates comprise the majority of Israeli-educated scientists and engineers, constituting over 70% of the country's founders and managers of high-tech industries".

Technion also is part of The Technion seed fund, which includes four different venture capital. The Technion seed fund partnered with Argo Medical, invested money and gave the embryonic company the facilities to develop ReWalk.
