Industrial Transformation Faces New Challenges;Innovation is a Never-ending Process 產業轉型新挑戰 創新求變 沒有終點

On December 19, the Institute for Information Industry (III) held the “2012 Industry Outlook Summit Forum”. Companies in attendance included Quanta Computer, Delta Electronics, Luxgen, Test Rite Group, PPStream, and various other international market and technology specialists, as well as Columbia University's Steve Feiner, a leading pioneer in augmented reality. The summit covered how Taiwanese companies could prepare their businesses to create more value for their enterprises later on down the road by concentrating on four key future developments in the areas of business, technology, markets, and brands.
資策會舉辦的「前進2012年產業前瞻高峰論壇」於12月19日舉行,邀請廣達、台達電、納智捷、特力集團及國際市場與技術專家,大陸PPstream與虛擬實境(Augmented Reality)大師哥倫比亞大學教授Steve Feiner等,從「事業前瞻、科技前瞻、市場前瞻、品牌前瞻」等四個面向,共同探討台灣產業如何布局新事業,打造企業未來價值。

The organizer of the summit, III's Chairman Chintay Shih, stressed that industrial transformation is a continuous process which has no end.
主持人資策會董事長史欽泰強調,創新轉型不應有終點,永遠是進行式。

Test Rite Group CEO Sophia Tung stated that, from her experience of shifting from a hi-tech industry to a traditional industry, the greatest challenge and difficulty lies in people and culture. The focus of Taiwan's education has always been on testing, thus making it difficult to cultivate creative talent. However, there still remains a lot of potential for the future of Taiwanese industries if organizations and companies can provide a vision and guidance for ingenuity, while simultaneously making mutual considerations and heading towards the right direction.
特力集團擔任執行長童至祥表示,以她從高科技業轉戰傳統產業經驗來看,最大的挑戰與困難在「人」與「文化」。台灣以「考試掛帥」的教育環境,雖不易培養創新人才,但在組織中提供遠景、引導創新,並相互分享,朝正確目標前進,台灣產業仍十分有希望。

Trinity Investment Corporation Senior Consultant James Lee emphasized that Singapore has long been envious of Taiwan because the size of Taiwan's market makes it the ideal test bed for innovation. If the textile industry, Taiwan's strong suit, is integrated with cloud technology, it could be positioned to develop unique health management clothing, which possesses a great deal of potential.
資鼎創投資深顧問李鎮樟強調,新加坡羨慕台灣,因市場規模適中,可作為創新實驗場;紡織業是台灣的強項,若結合雲端科技,可發展獨特的健康管理衣著,深具潛力。
