The India-Israel Forum, founded by Tel Aviv University, Israel, seven years ago was making remarkable progress in promoting links between the two countries in the business and academic spheres and also in the area of post-graduate education, Prof Joseph Klafter, President of the University said today.
In his graduation address to the students of Kumaraguru College of Technology, here Klafter said that he believed that aspiring entrepreneurs should view themselves as part of a global innovation chain.
