Objectives

Based on the proposal provided by the Thailand OHEC, the following three main objectives of this training and observation project were concluded:

a.      To be familiar with Taiwan’s Incubation model

b.      To learn the management experience of Taiwan universities incubation center

c.      To practical experience the day-to-day operation of Taiwan universities incubation center

Activities

According to the three objectives, the following were designed for this training and observation project. 

l        Two days curriculum  (See Appendix 1)

The CYCU incubation center designed two days curriculum to explain Taiwan’s incubation

1.    Taiwan Incubation Center

l        Seven and half days observation

The 10 trainees will be divided into five groups, two trainees in one group, and there will be two groups in CYCU, two groups in NCU, one group in NPUST. Depending on different feature of each incubation center, three of the incubation centers will provide different observation session for each group. The emphasis of each incubation center in the short term observation will be:

1.  CYCU: A project of assisting early stage technology - create new industries in Taiwan( an advance way to assist Taiwan’s industry incubation)

2.  NPUST: Observing agricultural and animal husbandry firm which incubated by NPUST

3.  NCU: Observing optoelectronics technology firm which incubated by NCU, and introducing the incubation concept of culture and creative industry.

*Note: The incubation centers reserve the right to change observation schedule depending on the actual situation of each center.

l        Closing ceremony

In the closing ceremony, all of the trainees will gather together sharing experience and the faculty of three incubations will join the meeting for Q&A.

Expected benefits

After 15 days training and observation in Taiwan, trainees are able to have a clearer concept of Taiwan’s incubation model, and how to protect and manage intellectual property (patent) and one of the most important is how to assist incubated firm to find funding. The fields of incubation are various for each incubation center which are illustrated in the introduction. In addition to incubation, hoping this project will bring a good effect to industrial development and will enhance the operation between Taiwan and Thailand.
