BGU | VISION TAKES SHAPE

As the university founded to advance David Ben-Gurion’s vision for the Negev, Ben Gurion University (BGU) has a larger mission beyond outstanding research and education. An inherently entrepreneurial institution, we strive to create a vibrant knowledge-based economy in Beer-Sheva, on which the success of the Negev depends. In our first 50 years, we’ve made remarkable strides. Nonetheless, we are still far from maximizing the Negev’s potential, and from turning its capital into a mecca for exceptional researchers, top students, new companies, and a young professional community. Until now. With the construction of our new North Campus, we are poised to accelerate the transformation of Beer-Sheva into a technological, economic, and even cultural engine for Israel. With the support of entrepreneurial philanthropists who recognize an opportunity for strong returns, we can leverage our assets into the fulfillment of a pioneering vision: a blooming desert for a thriving Israel, which will make for a better world.
