The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has undergone significant leadership changes recently, with Dr. Huang Zhongming assuming the role of chairman on June 18th of last year and Mr. Fan Junyi becoming CEO on February 1st this year. Both leaders have committed to launching three core initiatives this year to accelerate digital transformation across industries and actively promote the implementation of AI applications.
Dr. Huang remarked that Mr. Fan’s appointment as CEO was “perfect timing,” coinciding with a reduction in government funding for the current year. Despite facing budget cuts and an increased deficit, ITRI will address these challenges through cost-saving measures and revenue generation strategies.
Dr. Huang emphasized that the rapidly changing global economic environment presents both challenges and opportunities for ITRI. He sees this as a critical moment to transform and upgrade the organization by embracing AI development and cybersecurity governance, aligning with national policies. The focus will be on developing and implementing research in these areas, while also ensuring opportunities for ITRI colleagues to commercialize their technologies.
Despite the budget constraints, Dr. Huang remains dedicated to achieving substantial results without compromising public interests. These three major initiatives aim to ensure ITRI’s technological advancements benefit society, foster international collaboration through technology exports, and stimulate internal innovation within the institute.
