Chiayi Industry Innovation and Research Center (CIIC), under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), held its "R&D Achievements Exhibition" today (April 22). Since its establishment in 2011, CIIC has supported more than 900 enterprises in advancing their technologies, generating nearly NT$35 billion in industrial value.
In collaboration with four national research institutes—Food Industry Research and Development Institute, Metal Industries Research & Development Centre All Rights Reserved, Precision Machinery Research & Development Center, and the Cycling & Health Tech Industry R&D Center—CIIC has strengthened the technological transformation of SMEs in the Yunlin-Chiayi region.
A key highlight of the exhibition was the debut of Taiwan’s first AI-driven process control and pilot production platform for plant-based beverages. The technology enables high-precision formulation and production of high-quality plant-based milk, solving common challenges such as poor solubility and unstable emulsification.
CIIC also announced the signing of technical cooperation agreements with four major companies, including Gaoye Health Biotechnology, showcasing a new milestone in industry-academia collaboration. Over the past 14 years, CIIC has helped 163 local enterprises secure government R&D funding and conducted over 500 pilot production projects.
