9. Conclusions Facilitators The LINK d a In order for the link to work, facilitators both from the industry and educational system must be assigned to progress the mutual collaboration In the education-industry system, one element stimulates another. The link between them makes the stimulation efficient. The link works well in the top Universities in the World Governmental control Industry e b Control and a very close monitoring from the governmental institutions and specifically the ministry of education must be performed to assure the quality of the LINK Industry has to make efforts to support the higher education through fundng high quality research labs and research studies Young Talents Program Experiment Risk f c Talented and highly educated workforce is leaking into the Western countries A consistent program was set up to mimic the “mini” Education-to-Industry Link. The program turned out to be successful proved by the admissions and funding into the top class Universities and research publications
