Taiwan as the World’s Leading Supplier of High-Tech Products
• Due to a substantial extent of offshore production in numerous high-tech end productsand intermediate goods, Taiwan’s domestic production and exports are nowconcentrated on high-end intermediate goods such as ICs and LCD panels.
IC design, DRAM, WLANs, OLED panels, LED, TFT LCD panel, Glass fiber, IC Substrates, Power wheelchairs & power scooters, ABS, TN/STN LCD panels, PNDs
IC foundry, IC packaging, IC testing, Mask ROMs, Optical Disc, Chlorella, Electro-deposited copper foil

Industrial technology change
◇upgraded and
transformed in response
to competition from
emerging economies.
◇ Started to invest in
the R&D of industrial
textile in 2000.
◇From 2004 started building
testing and verification
facilities.
◇ From 2010, emphasized aesthetic
design in textile manufacturing and
resulted in winning IF international
award.
◇ From 2014 strengthening differentiation/high-
value added new nylon fiber materials, and

RTO/ITRI’s Role and Contribution
ITRI’s MissionsA NTO founded in 1973 by Ministry of Economic Affairs, ITRI’s missions are:• Research and develop key technologies• Stimulate and drive industrial development• Generate economic value• Elevate social well-being
No matter how brilliant the research innovation or invention there are,
the result has to contribute to the effects of economy to elaborate the meaning and explore the greatness.

Globalization: Threats to RTOs?
• Technology sources are available globally
• World leading universities actively collaborate with industries
• Decreasing financial support from local government
• Difficulty to attract international talents
• Disruptive economic, environmental and societal trends
• RTOs alone unable to cope with multi-disciplinary R&D of current needs
• Lack of integrated and overall strategy to deal with above issues
• Need to define new role and approach and realign with multi-disciplinary partners of complimentary strength in focal areas

ITRI Example: International R&D Collaboration
Scope:
• Joint R&D for 3D IC Technology &
Packaging Platform.
Reasons for collaboration:
• Commercialization of 3D IC technology &
packaging through collaboration of TNO,
ITRI and GMM, a semiconductor
equipment vendor.
Benefits:
• Accelerating 3D IC technology & packaging
implementation to strike the market wave
front.

Food for Thoughts
• Scientific discovery and technological innovation are essential to meeting the challenges of the newcentury
• In an accelerated future that is increasingly dominated by technology and knowledge, many R&D institutions may become marginalized …
• But an exceptional few will go to the next level to become true “knowledge hubs” of the knowledge economy
• Building, managing and leveraging Public-Private-Partnership is the key

• Available Method: Two-step operation, time consuming (3-4 weeks), and
expensive (US $20,000).
• Our Approach: 30 min or less and lower cost. Achieve tissue treatment and
implantation, in one step, one stop and single operation.
• Current Status: Technology transferred to US Exactech, Inc. Started a multi-
center, Phase II clinical trial in December of 2011.

Some Thoughts on How to Pool Our Collective
Expertise and Efforts Together
1. Create an Open Innovation System and target challenging
innovative technologies that will have major impact to the world
2. Establish institute to institute, long-term mutually beneficial
relationships
3. Apply DARPA like methodology, invite experts to brainstorm
“unmet needs” and their implementation
4. Joint efforts to promote and to conduct technology
commercialization, increase global industrial value and create
new business opportunities
39
Joint effort on projects, incubating technologies, venture capital
and building research centers in Taiwan and strategic locations
