Science and Technology Innovation Center (STIC)

To align with the New Southbound Policy (NSP), the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) has been providing funding for academic institutions in Taiwan and their counterparts in South and Southeast Asian countries to establish “Science and Technology Innovation Centers (STICs).” Since 2017, 12 STICs have been set up in 10 countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Cambodia and Myanmar.

STIC project has deepened scientific and technological cooperation between Taiwan and NSP-target countries. Since 2017, STICs have attained remarkable achievements in areas of sustainable energy, smart healthcare system, artificial intelligence, ecological conservation, environmental protection as well as humanities and social science. STIC project has successfully enhanced the substantive relationships between Taiwan and NSP-target countries.
