Deputy Director General Andrea Hsu Participated in an On-line EU-Taiwan Forum
AI and Health are not only two R&D clusters in the future worldwide, but also the key areas of Taiwan’s six major technological development priorities. Noting Taiwan is one of leading countries in manufacturing semiconductor hardware, government and private sectors are eagerly developing its technological capabilities in artificial intelligence and big data applications applied on fields like optoelectronics, biotechnology, semiconductors, and circular economy. Taiwan hence enjoys strength in both software and hardware competence. For these concerns, Taiwan’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and DG Research and Innovation (DG RTD), European Commission jointly host an online forum on “Taiwan-EU online Dialogue on
Application and Development of AI in Smart Medical (e-Health) Systems,” which is the first time of its kind over the years. The bilateral dialogue invites officials and experts from industry, public services and academia from both parties for an exchange of ideas on their respective development and roll out of the applications and development of AI in Smart medical (eHealth) systems.
Deputy Director General of the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau, Andrea Hsu, also participated in the Forum on October 20, and made a presentation on practices of the Hsinchu Science Park in turning from IC technologies to biotech applications, and in search of smart medical solutions as well as precision healthcare, anticipating to dedicate the competence of biomedical technologies to global communities, especially in the middle of current coronavirus pandemic.
