Dan Shechtman received the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering quasicrystals. In an interview with form Chemistry World in 2023 he revealed: "My dream was to be a mechanical engineer like Cyrus Smith in Jules Verner's book „The Mysterious Island". In this book, there is a group of five stranded on an island and Cyrus could make everything from nothing. He was my idol. I wanted to be like him. I think I could have been a good mechanical engineer, but I could not find a job and fate took me to a different place. So if you don’t find a job, it’s not necessarily bad."

Dan Shechtman is a professor at Iowa State University and professor emeritus at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, where he has taught a course in technological entrepreneurship for twenty-seven years. He is a tireless promoter of science and innovation in education. According to Professor Shechtman, the prosperity of countries is based on the creation of conditions for "technological entrepreneurship". It starts with a good education system based on mathematics and scientific-technical fields in particular. The name of the game is motivation. If this nucleus of well-educated and capable people will be motivated towards entrepreneurship, a process can start that will make a huge difference in a life of a country.
