Development of various kinds of physical and cyber technology is creating a multitude of challenges to industries around the globe. How to bring in all stakeholders and enable industry to embrace digital transformation has become one of the government's most important agenda in recent years.
For this reason, Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER), teaming up with Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER) and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), is setting “Digital Transformation of Industry: Policy Governance and Industry Alliance” as the theme of International Conference on Industrial Technology Innovation (ICITI) 2019 conference.

The conference invites policy and industrial technology experts from Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan to share their policy-planning and -implementation experiences in relation to industrial digital transformation.

The number of audience is about 100, primarily made of government officials, RTO experts, think-tank policy researchers, industrial association representatives.

By doing so, we hope this invited-only event can serve as an international dialogue platform where all the participants can learn from each other, improve their respective strategy for digital transformation of industry, and facilitate the exploration of cooperation opportunity in near future.

TIER organizes International Conference on Industrial Technology Innovation(ICITI) once a year since year 2000. Over the last 20 years, with the continuous support from Department of Industrial Technology (DOIT) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), this conference builds up its international reputation and connections, and has become one of the most important event of its kind.
