A forward-looking panel on technology transfer - how breakthroughs move from lab to market - plus a preview of next-generation deep tech from Taiwan
As artificial intelligence moves beyond the cloud & begins to shape decisions & actions in the physical world, the challenge is no longer merely technological progress. The real question is how these innovations can be deployed in complex environments & scale into global markets.
This event explores this transition through the combined strengths of Taiwan's engineering & rapid prototyping capabilities & the United States' powerful innovation ecosystem & market reach.
The event opens with a panel discussion examining two key questions shaping the future of global technology innovation & commercialization:
Rethinking the Lab-to-Market Pipeline in the AI Era
As AI breakthroughs accelerate, the traditional lab-to-market playbook is increasingly too slow. From applied research & technology transfer to startup acceleration, how can innovators better identify real market signals & shorten the path from breakthrough research to scalable companies?
Bridging the Venture & Commercialization Gap
From Taiwan to the U.S. & other global markets, how do differences in venture investment shape the path from innovation to real-world adoption? What roles do investors, research institutions, corporates, & policymakers play, & which mechanisms are most critical, in bridging the gap from validated research to scalable companies?
Panelists will discuss the factors that determine whether deep technologies successfully transition from scientific discovery to real-world solutions, including the roles of venture capital, ecosystem collaboration, technology transfer, & global market access.
Speakers include Johannes Rott, Vice President of Plug & Play, Nitin Parekh, Director of HIT Fund, Stanford Office of Technology Licensing, Queihua Yang, General Director of ITRI, Janis Skriveris, Principal of Plug & Play, & Ming-Che Wang, President of ITRI International, will discuss the factors that determine whether deep technologies successfully transition from scientific discovery to real-world solutions, including the roles of venture capital, ecosystem collaboration, technology transfer, & global market access.
Following the panel, five Edison Award finalists from Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) will present cutting-edge technologies ready for commercialization. Representing some of the brightest innovators in Taiwan's deep-tech ecosystem, these presentations will highlight breakthroughs in Smart Living, Resilience & Sustainable Environment, & Quality Health.
