Future Directions of Academic-Industry Collaboration at NTHU

Meeting the needs of startups

• Globalization
• Vertical integration
• Rapid prototyping service

Focus on

• Internet-of-Things
• Biomedical Technology

Globalization for startups Globalization for startups Globalization for startups Globalization for startups

Domestic and international; Both ways Connecting to sister universities/institutions abroad

• Assist local patent application and licensing
• Provide operation space
• Local law and government administration consultations
• Local sale channels
• Connect manufacturing capability of Taiwan

Meeting the needs Meeting the needs Meeting the needs Meeting the needs

• Identification of and providing the missing elements
• A. Uncertain technology applications and market needs

Experienced mentors; industrial alliance (e.g., microfluidics)

• B. Slow and expensive prototyping process

Connect to the strong manufacturing capability of Taiwan Establish a New Product Introduction (NPI) mechanism Project Management

• Based on:

NTHU R&D strength Local environment Investment atmosphere

• Some topics:

Biomedical imaging, Molecular diagnostics, Biosensors, Medical devices Both reagents and systems are considered

Medical devices and diagnostics as the beginning

Acceleration Service for Biotech Startups

• I. Establish facility and connection to
• Education and training- Technology, Business, Law, etc.
• Screening systems (mAb, aptamer, phage display)
• Small-scale production and purification of reagents (recombinant

proteins; Ag/Ab; nanoparticles; etc.)

• Device, softwares and system prototyping and testing
• II. Seed fund raising and sustainable development

創新產品的專案管 理 (NPI) 創新產品的原型製 造整合管理 產業國際鏈結與全 球行銷 產業新創事業與風 險投資的加入 Early investment from Government

Acceleration mechanism

Establish Seed Fund (Starting +Feedback ) New Product Introduction and Project Management Attract more resources, Service upgrade Manufacturing and chain integration Global Connection & Marketing
