Industry-Academia Collaboration

The Research and Development Office at our university has established a comprehensive platform for industry-academia collaboration by connecting various departments, research centers, and innovation incubation centers. This platform provides businesses with integrated services in a one-stop manner. Since 2012, Ming Chuan University has actively sought the support of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' industrial park upgrading and transformation project, becoming a guiding institution for companies in the Guishan Industrial Zone. By harnessing the abundant research and development capabilities of faculty and students, the university meets the diverse needs of companies in the park, including product development, technical collaboration, process quality control, pollution prevention, operational strategy, and product design, making Ming Chuan the preferred partner for corporate collaboration.

In terms of the performance of promoting industry-academia collaboration, the collaboration amount has grown from NT$190 million in 2020 to NT$254 million in 2022. The number of industry-academia collaboration projects has increased from 171 in 2020 to 185, representing a growth rate of 8%. Simultaneously, the number of patent certificates has grown from 42 in 2020 to 65 in 2022, reflecting a growth rate of 54.8%. These figures underscore Ming Chuan University's dedicated efforts in resource investment and the resulting benefits of advancing industry-academia collaboration. Through continuous improvement and various achievements, the university is gradually moving towards a new paradigm of excellence.
