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

Medical devices and diagnostics as the beginning • 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 E S Int K Ub Int Int C
