בשנת 2012 ייסד עם עוד מספר שותפים מהאקדמיה והתעשייה את המכון הישראלי להעצמת חדשנות, לקידום החינוך ההנדסי בארץ ומשמש כנשיא ויו"ר הדירקטוריון של המכון.
בשנת 2014 נבחר לעמית האגודה הבינלאומית למחקר בתכן.
בשנת 2018 ייסד עם שותפים את מיזם המחקר להנדסת מערכות ועומד בראשו. הוא גם יזם עם שותפים ועומד בראש התוכנית לתואר שני עם תזה בהנדסת מערכות באוניברסיטה.
מחקרים ופרסומים
פרופ' רייך נחשב לאחד החוקרים הבודדים באקדמיה בארץ בתחום התכן והנדסת מערכות. בתחומים אלו חיבר למעלה מ- 250 פרסומים שהתפרסמו בירחונים המובילים בתחומם ובכנסים בכל העולם. הנחה למעלה מ- 60 תלמידי מחקר לתואר שני ודוקטורט.
בנוסף, חיבר שלושה ספרים וערך ספר רביעי. אחד על ניהול תהליכים דינמיים שהתפרסם ב- 2011, ספר שני על ביומימיקרי שהתפרסם ב- 2016, וספר שלישי על עיצוב שהתפרסם בשנית 2020. הספר הרביעי על קהילות מקיימות ואקולוגיות יתפרסם ב 2022.
