Company profile
Industrial Technology Research Institute is an applied technology research organization in Taiwan and describes itself as a world-leading applied technology research institute that pioneered IC development. ITRI was established in 1973 after legislation for the Industrial Technology Research Institute was passed and three former Ministry of Economic Affairs research institutes were merged into the new organization. In 1996 it established the Open Lab and Incubation Center, described as Taiwan’s first startup-industry incubation center. Its development milestones include creation of industrial safety and health programs, a Green Campus initiative, governance and integrity structures, and a 2030 Technology Strategy Roadmap introduced in 2019 to move from technology innovation toward value innovation. ITRI received the first Presidential Innovation Award highest honor and the first Work-Life Balance Award in 2014. In 2019 it became the first Ministry of Economic Affairs法人 organization to pass an audit under Taiwan’s Cyber Security Management Act, according to its organizational sustainability record. The institute created a Net Zero Sustainability Strategy Office in 2021, established sustainability governance offices in 2022, issued its first sustainability report in 2023 and completed ISO 14064-1 verification for its 2022 greenhouse-gas inventory. Its listed certifications and management systems include ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1, ISO 14064-1:2018 and ISO 14001:2015. The sustainability record also reports 225 international partners across four continents and 30 countries, 4,669 R&D professionals, 695 technology-transfer service instances and 22,324 technology-service instances. ITRI states that it supports industry through services, projects, incubation and industry consultancy, combining applied R&D with technology transfer, startup development and commercialization support. Its organizational sustainability data also reports 675 patents granted in the year, 145 R&D-related award instances, eight newly established startups or business groups and a cumulative incubation total of 174 companies. The same record lists training for 21,907 industry professionals, 8,774 service instances for small and medium-sized enterprises and 98 organization- or individual-level awards.
Exhibits
ITRI organizes its intelligentization enabling technologies around semiconductor, communications, smart sensing, and AI and cybersecurity, using them to support four application domains: smart living, quality health, sustainable environment and resilient society. Within smart living, its examples include human-machine interaction and services, autonomous mobile systems, smart consumption and logistics services, AI application modules and SaaS co-creation, and smart navigation service robots. Quality-health work includes smart medtech and healthcare examples such as high-efficiency cell-sheet integration systems, Key Functional Cell Identity technology and composite medical temperature-sensitive hydrogels. Sustainable-environment examples include circular economy, green-energy systems, low-carbon manufacturing, digital twins for immersive interaction and ultrafast-laser processing for 5G heterogeneous and hard-brittle substrates. Resilient-society work includes infrastructure, resource and energy, and workforce resilience, with examples such as HolonOS automatic programming robots, rail-repair and testing equipment and grid-system integration. Semiconductor enabling technologies presented by ITRI include high-speed broadband analog front-end IC technology and heterogeneous integration with through-silicon-via technology. The institute also presents Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging as a semiconductor intelligentization enabling technology. Its semiconductor manufacturing technology list includes advanced inspection and metrology technologies for semiconductor manufacturing and nanoparticle impurity inspection. Through-glass-via work includes High Aspect Ratio Copper-Filled TGV Technology, a Bessel Beam Module for TGV Drilling and High-Homogeneity Bessel Beam Technology. Other semiconductor technologies include optical-transmission silicon-photonic integrated technology, compound-semiconductor technology for high-frequency power devices and optoelectronic display structures, and low-temperature Cryo-CMOS control chips and modules. ITRI also lists compound-semiconductor device modularization and innovative system applications, high-resolution X-ray CT imaging equipment and calibration technology, and specialized-knowledge large-language-model technology. Its Chinese technology material identifies 3D IC design technology within the intelligentization enabling-technology portfolio, linking chip design and heterogeneous integration work with semiconductor applications. The institute presents results from its Electro-Optics Institute and other units as government-sponsored R&D program achievements, placing unit-level project outcomes alongside its broader enabling-technology platform. Across the two application-and-innovation pages, ITRI connects technology research with industrial-development functions rather than presenting the technologies only as laboratory demonstrations. Both pages also connect the four application domains with collaboration channels such as services, projects, incubation and industry consultancy, providing routes for companies to engage with ITRI’s technologies. The combination of semiconductor, communications, sensing, AI and cybersecurity with smart-living, health, sustainability and resilience programs gives ITRI a multidisciplinary R&D and industry-service role. The institute’s honor pages identify repeated recognition as a Top 100 Global Innovator and R&D 100 Award winner, alongside its multi-disciplinary innovation and industrial-development work.
