History
Taiwan-Thailand Overseas Scientific Research and Technological Innovation Center
The TTSTC was established in 2019 as the Taiwan-Thailand Smart Health Technology Overseas Research Center (TCSMH) with a focus on smart health technology as its main area of cooperation. In 2023, it was officially renamed Taiwan-Thailand Overseas Scientific Research and Technological Innovation Center (TTSTC), and its cooperation areas were expanded to strengthen the depth of bilateral ties and broaden the scope of cooperation. This includes promoting the four main axes of health technology, smart living, resilient society, and sustainable environment. In line with the NSTC's continuous implementation of the 5+2 industrial innovation and smart nation technology projects, TTSTC will actively seize the opportunities brought about by generative AI and expand its investment in key issues such as net zero carbon emissions, gerontechnology, space, and 6G. It will also synchronize with the Thai government's 2023-2027 Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Policy and Strategy.
The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) of Taiwan enhances the “New Southbound Policy” by exploring potential markets, developing state-of-the-art technologies, and cultivating top talents. Taking advantage of extensive experiences in integrating academic-industrial achievements and biomedical innovation, the Taiwan Center for Smart Healthcare Science and Technology in Thailand endeavours to bridge the Taiwanese government and industry with Thailand healthcare industry policies and business opportunities, to partner with Thailand in developing joint technology innovation education of top talents for future biomedical and healthcare industry.
