Major Research Areas
Aiming at three major industries: Technology/ Semiconductor, Sustainable Energy/Electric Vehicles, and Healthcare/ Precision medicine.
With the arrival of the Internet and AI era, the development of technology has brought a lot of convenience to life, and at the same time, it has also subtly changed our lives. In the process of technological development and progress, the core technology of hardware is semiconductor. Currently, Taiwan has been ranked as a global leader in the semiconductor industry, with a complete semiconductor industry chain, from IC design, manufacturing to testing and packaging. Its specialized division of labor model is unique in the world, and its total IC production value ranks second globally. In recent years, with the rise of global turbulence and geopolitics, semiconductors have become a strategic asset of unspeakable importance. While Moore's Law is gradually coming to an end, mankind's dependence on semiconductors is increasing rather than decreasing, and the development of the semiconductor industry is closely related to Taiwan's technology industry. The development of the semiconductor industry is closely related to Taiwan's technology industry. Therefore, the Institute has identified Technology/Semiconductors as one of its major areas of interest.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is now a key tenet of sustainable business and a practical course of action for practicing social responsibility. Companies that prioritize ESG principles are likely to achieve long-term success. The ESG issues these companies focus on typically revolve around green energy initiatives. As laws and regulations continue to be updated, the sale of fuel cars will be banned in Norway by 2025 at the earliest, and countries around the world are joining in. As a result, many car makers (including mainstream car makers) have put forward relevant plans for transformation, and promoted the development of electric vehicles in line with government policies. Due to the rapid and flourishing development of the industry, both the technology and business models are continuously evolving, creating endless business opportunities. Therefore, the Institute has identified Sustainable/Electric vehicles as one of the major areas of concern.
Healthcare is a global concept based on the development of modern society and the evolution of prevalent diseases. In addition to the traditional concepts of life - and - death, it also surrounds our food, clothing and shelter. It focuses on the various risk factors affecting health and promotes self-health management. With new technologies such as databases and artificial intelligence, human beings can achieve comprehensive physical and mental health care. Taiwan has officially launched a national bio-database integration platform program. This initiative will facilitate the effective integration and utilization of various databases, contributing to the construction of an accurate healthcare system. Nowadays, the focus in healthcare has shifted from "treatment" to "prevention." With the impact of COVID-19, there is a heightened public interest in using technology to enhance medical techniques and optimize resources. Therefore, the Institute has identified major Healthcare/Precision Medicine as one of the major areas of concern.
