About Center

The Industrial Technology Research Institute(ITRI) cooperated with the Kaohsiung City Government to connect universities in the South of Taiwan (including National Sun Yat-sen University, National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, Kaohsiung Medical University and National Penghu University of Science and Technology) and set up five Southern Taiwan Interdisciplinary center for Innovative Technologies in 1995 to develop technology and industry research, and based on industrial needs to assist industrial transformation and innovation in southern Taiwan.

The goal of this center is to become a database for academic research teams. By providing useful information about the market, assist academic research teams in building appropriate business models, promote team connections and cooperation with manufacturers, and establish industrial ecosystem. By measuring the new markets and local industries of southern Taiwan (agriculture, metals, marine, medical device, Fun-Tech, circular economy, financial technology), and searching domestic and foreign research as the basis of a think tank, the center will integrate the energy of government-industry-university-institute and make National Sun Yat-sen University be a major platform and think tank for industry and government of southern Taiwan.

Southern Taiwan Interdisciplinary Center joins hands with smallholder enterprises to innovate agroecosystem

2018-6-1-2019-7-31

National Sun Yat-sen University Southern Taiwan Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Innovation Center and Nantai University of Science and Technology teachers, students, and farmer Zhang Jinghui held the "With You Left Pomelo" in the Xiaying Youjun Pomelo (Zhangjiabao Pomelo) Orchard in Tainan During the event, a total of more than 15 representatives of more than 50 companies and organizations, and 17 farmers, relatives and friends from Madou, Xiaying and other regions, a total of 115 people participated in the grand event. In the past, Southern Taiwan’s cross-sectoral technology innovation center has been deeply involved in the bilateral market of rural ecosystems for 3 years. This year, we will have the opportunity to gather all partners together through the "With You Left Pomelo" event. This is important for the construction of an innovative agricultural ecosystem. One of the milestones.

Ministry of Science and Technology- E-Commerce Ecosystems in Rural Area: Leadership Development, Value Creation, and Interfirm Co-production

2019-08-01-2022-07-31

With the rapid expansion of e-commerce (EC) ecosystem, some rural EC clusters have also appeared in China since the mid-2000s, and have come to be known as “Taobao Villages”. A successful leader must have an environment of knowledge, technology, previous experience, trust, and support. However, the leadership development of grass-roots entrepreneurs (such as leaders in Taobao Village) that we see is not necessarily a necessary condition.Therefore, there is a need to investigate: (a) What factors enable interfirm co-production in a supply chain context? (b) What key properties define interfirm co-production (i.e. process synchronization and resource pooling) between firms and their supply chain partners? (c). What new value (i.e. reciprocal benefits) is jointly created through co-production?
