NCKU hosts international workshop on knowledge innovation
Tainan, Taiwan, 14 August 2012
The opening ceremony of the 2012 Southeast and South Asia Regional Workshop on Knowledge Innovation: Intellectual Property Management and Startup Incubation was held on August 13th at Technology Transfer and Business Incubating Center (TTBIC) of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, where 20 professors and staff from 6 SATU member countries, including Philippines, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, have attended the five-day workshop.
Professors and staff members from the Philippines, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia joined their Taiwanese counterparts at an international workshop at National Cheng Kung University in southern Taiwan on Aug. 13 to discuss intellectual property management and startup incubation.
NCKU Executive Vice President Huey-Jen Jenny Su, on behalf of President Hwung-Hweng Hwung, welcomed the foreign delegates to the 2012 Southeast and South Asia Regional Workshop on Knowledge Innovation at NCKU’s Technology Transfer and Business Incubating Center (TTBIC), where the opening ceremony was held that day.
This year’s summer workshop of Presidents' Forum of Southeast and South Asia and Taiwan Universities (SATU Presidents' Forum) aims to share the experiences and new ideas in intellectual property (IP) management and startup incubation among SATU members, the organizer said.
The five-day workshop is expected to stimulate the strategies for incubating new business in the market and developing the economies of the southeast and south Asian regions, according to TTBIC.
Su said NCKU’s research breakthrough unveiled recently has elevated its academic profile and the school expects to complete technology transfer soon.
One of the successful cases revealed in May was the license agreement of a potential new anti-osteoporosis drug, signed between NCKU and Novo Nordisk A/S, a Danish-based pharmaceutical company, for a total of US$13.3 million, according to Su.
Another case was a medical breakthrough published by Science in August regarding a novel cardiovascular therapy using nanofibers and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a promising cure for heart diseases, Su added.
The NCKU vice president’s briefing impressed workshop participants.
“We’d like to learn from the experiences of NCKU and other universities by participating in the forum,” said Elizabeth Reyes Pulumbarit, vice president for development at University of the Philippines, where technologies and medical devices are ready for licensing.
“This workshop on IP management organized by NCKU can offer some guidelines to us on setting up an IP center in our universities,” according to Dr. Uree Cheasakul, associate dean of the School of Management at Assumption University, Thailand, who is planning to bring back what she has learned here to benefit IP development in her country.
“Technology should be used to help us to lead a better life,” said Chairman Nilo Tagalog Bugtai of the Department of Manufacturing Engineering and Management at De La Salle University, the Philippines, noting that in this forum, everyone has shared the knowledge which will benefit not only the researchers, universities but the community and society in general.
The five-day workshop covers six sessions, including Innovation and Startup: Strategies and Case Study, Business Operation of New Startup, IP Management for University, Value-added Patent Portfolio of Technology, Trademark and Business, Business and Contract Negotiation of Intellectual Property Rights.
Following the NCKU campus tour on the first day, the members will visit Tainan Science-based Industrial Park on their fourth day of visit.
