Industry-Academia Cooperation | MA-tek 114 Annual Project Kick-off Meeting Successfully Held
The event began with a presentation by the Director of the R&D Center, Chen Hong-ren, who provided a detailed introduction to the selection criteria and execution methods of this year's cooperation program. The selection rate for this program was approximately 38%, with the top three universities in terms of application numbers remaining the same as last year: National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Tsing Hua University, and National Cheng Kung University. Notably, professors participating in the application for the first time accounted for 51% of the total applications, indicating that MA-tek's industry-academia cooperation program continues to attract more new research teams.
This year's application themes span cutting-edge technology fields such as semiconductor materials, advanced components and processes, quantum computing, silicon photonics, 6G communication, renewable energy, space radiation, memory, sensors, secure chips, high-entropy materials, nanomedicine (K-kit), and artificial intelligence, showcasing the diverse innovative energy of the domestic academic community. Notably, in response to global trends in green energy and sustainable development, the number of applications in the "renewable energy" field has significantly increased, ranking alongside "advanced materials and packaging" as the most valued research topics.
Director Chen also specifically urged in the presentation that professors actively support MA-tek's technical article invitations and MAFT seminar speeches during the project execution period, allowing more industry professionals to enhance their learning and grasp new knowledge in interdisciplinary technology. MA-tek has diverse marketing and knowledge-sharing channels, including the official website, newsletters, social media, external professional magazines, as well as the self-built "MA-tek Member APP" and "MA-tek Materials Academy." Among them, the MA-tek Materials Academy is a knowledge-sharing platform co-created by MA-tek and the Chinese Materials Research Society this year, dedicated to assisting clients and experts in mastering the latest technological trends and expanding interdisciplinary professional knowledge and applications.
Subsequently, Zhang Quan-jun, Deputy Director of the Reliability Engineering Division, and Ge Yu-feng, Deputy Director of the R&D Center, respectively introduced the company's development overview and the latest advanced analytical equipment and technologies, allowing the attending professors and students to gain an in-depth understanding of MA-tek's strong R&D capabilities, laying a solid foundation for future collaboration.
Looking to the future, MA-tek will continue to focus on seven forward-looking fields: artificial intelligence, silicon photonics, electric vehicles, secure chips, low-orbit satellites, green energy and environmental protection, and nanobiomedicine. It views industry-academia cooperation as an important strategy to promote sustainable development. Through resource support and sharing of professional technology, it aims to assist more outstanding teams in accelerating breakthrough research, promoting the transformation of innovative results, and actively facilitating paper publications, patent layouts, and industry chain connections, thereby creating higher industrial value and market influence.
