Background
Taiwan has a dynamic capitalist economy with gradually decreasing guidance for foreign direct investment by the authorities. The increasing labor costs continue to drive the labor-intensive industry to countries/regions with cheaper labor forces. Taiwan's future development will have to rely on further transformation to a high technology and internationalized economy. The Ministry of Economic Affairs, with its function to provide mechanism in promoting globalization, established the Open Innovation Center (OIC) to assist Taiwan firms in achieving competitive advantage through international R&D collaboration.
About OIC
