464.   A nation's competitive edge and economic development depend on the establishment of a national innovation system, which can facilitate more efficient production, faster accumulation, and broader proliferation of knowledge. Generally, universities and research institutes have a large number of innovation and R&D talents. However, they do not necessarily have commercialization resources and experiences. On the other hand, the industrial sector has the ability to manufacture but may lack innovation and R&D talents. Therefore, the research and industrial sectors can complement each other through collaboration. Over the past decade, we have been actively promoting academia-industry R&D collaboration in hopes of bringing about a major improvement in our industrial competitiveness. 465.   Currently, our academia-industry cooperation programmes on IP commercialization include the "PIONEER Grants for Frontier Technologies Development by Academia-Industry Cooperation (the Major Alliance Projects)," the "Academia-Industry Technological Alliance Projects (the Minor Alliance Projects)," and the "Chinese Taipei Industry Innovation Platform Programme (TIIP)." Each programme runs from three to ten years. 466.   Take the Major Alliance Projects for instance, it is led by the industry sector to encourage domestic corporations to form alliances and submit R&D proposals. The programme also promotes cooperation between corporations and universities and research institutes to jointly engage in the R&D of innovative technologies so as to narrow the industry-academia gap, strengthen key patent portfolios, develop standards or system integration, as well as assist corporations in long-term R&D talents cultivation in key technologies and industry upgrade. Since its launch in 2013 until September 2019, the Major Alliance Projects had drawn 70.6 million USD from the industry investing in R&D, with up to 545 patent applications being filed domestically and abroad, as well as nearly 1,000 job opportunities being created. 467.   Take the "Project on the Establishment of an Intelligent Platform for Integrating Key Driving Modules of New-Generation Vehicles" under the Major Alliance Projects for instance, it is led by eight universities and corporations, and is aimed at developing intelligent motor systems for electric cars. So far, the project has successfully developed the globally-competitive, high-quality wafer-thin electrical steel sheet, which has been used in the supply chain of world-renowned electric vehicle brands. 468.   Also, the "Pioneer Next-Generation Mobile Terminal Key Technology Project," jointly led by four universities and corporations, is by far our largest academia-industry project focusing on 5G and AI. So far, a total of 69 patent applications associated with this project have been filed domestically and abroad. In addition, for the first time, two universities joined in the project have participated in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as educational institutes and submitted 55 proposals associated with key technologies. 469.   IP and innovation are the integral driving forces of economic growth. However, how the government may help innovators develop their businesses through comprehensive strategies remains an important lesson. We welcome Members sharing their measures and experiences.
