ABOUT CORNELL TECH
At Cornell Tech, we develop the leaders and technologies of tomorrow through foundational and applied research, postgraduate education, and new ventures. Through rigorous, practical research and interdisciplinary innovation, we’re advancing lasting economic and social prosperity for New York City and the world.

In 2010, the City of New York issued a challenge to top institutions from around the world to propose a new or expanded applied sciences and engineering campus in New York City. Cornell University and the Technion­–Israel Institute of Technology— two of the world’s leading institutions in the fields of science, engineering, technology, and research—were selected from among 18 proposals to make this vision a reality. Shortly thereafter, the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute was founded based on a $133 million gift from Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, Founding Chairman and CEO Emeritus of Qualcomm, and his wife, Joan Klein Jacobs.

Cornell Tech first launched in 2012 in Google’s New York City building. In 2017, it migrated to its permanent location on Roosevelt Island—one of the most technically and environmentally advanced campuses in the world. Today, it is home to close to 50 tenure track and nontenured faculty members, approximately 500 master’s students across eight programs, and more than 100 doctoral students in five fields. We are committed to developing principled and innovative leaders who are practiced in interdisciplinary collaboration and entrepreneurship.

As part of a land-grant institution, Cornell Tech is focused on giving back to New York City. We apply our technologies in industries or sectors where New York City is leading the country and the world, including health, urban systems, media and democracy, cryptocurrencies and contracts, and public interest technology. Many of our graduates also stay in New York, supporting the continued growth of a vibrant tech ecosystem.
