The Academy of Circular Economy at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) held the Industrial Circular Economy × Green Transition Forum: From Sustainability Thinking to Academia-Industry Practice on August 12 at CH Biotech R&D Co. LTD. The event attracted 150 experts from industry, government, and academia, centering discussions on the future of industrial circular economy and green processes, innovative curriculum design, and cross-disciplinary talent cultivation, sketching a new blueprint for Taiwan’s sustainable transformation and high-value industry development.
Focus on Integration, Smart Sustainability, and Talent Development
The forum highlighted three core themes: cross-disciplinary integration, intelligent sustainability, and talent development. In particular, discussions were dedicated to the future development of NCHU’s Semiconductor and Green Technology Program and Industrial and Smart Technology Program, aiming to establish concrete mid- and long-term development pathways while strengthening industry-academia collaboration and mechanisms for cultivating innovative talent in sustainability.
President Jan: Sustainability Is No Longer a Choice, but a Necessity
In his opening remarks, NCHU President Fuh-Jyh Jan emphasized that the world is facing multiple challenges, including climate change, energy transition, and resource regeneration. “Sustainability is no longer optional—it is imperative,” he stated. As a critical hub in the global supply chain, Taiwan must redesign its value chain through circular thinking to ensure that economic growth can advance in parallel with environmental protection. He further stressed that NCHU will continue to leverage its strong foundations in agriculture, engineering, environmental science, and materials technology, combining interdisciplinary research with international collaboration to drive both green innovation and industrial application.
Diverse Agenda and Cross-Sector Engagement
The forum featured keynote speeches, panel discussions, and closed-door roundtables, bringing together industry representatives from semiconductors, smart manufacturing, waste valorization, and renewable energy. Participants exchanged insights on how cross-disciplinary talent can drive industrial transformation and shared the latest trends and successful case studies from both Taiwan and abroad.
Looking Ahead: From Forum Outcomes to Action
The Academy of Circular Economy will compile the outcomes of this forum as a key reference for future curriculum design, industry-academia cooperation, and policy recommendations. It will also continue to promote joint academic-industry projects, further consolidating Taiwan’s competitive edge in the fields of global circular economy and industrial transformation.
