Advantech Honored with the 3rd Corporate Social Responsibility Award for the "Industrial Academy Cooperation Program"
(Cincinnati, Ohio - 5/14/2007) - For the second year in a row, Global Views Magazine has recognized Advantech with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) award in the "Technology B" category (companies of less than 100 billion NTD in annual turnover)
The establishment of Advantech Foundation set the tone for the execution of a wide range of social responsibility projects, the first being the "Industry Academy Cooperation Program". The most important reason was to address certain limitations that underline the separation of industrial and academic creative efforts. K.C. Liu, CEO Advantech, has noted that future innovations hinge on more successful cooperation between industry and academy. Further, industries at the other end of the program will be pleased with the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the forefront of industrial development.
Advantech has yielded impressive results since initiating the program. The TiC 100 student competition celebrates its 9th year. Other programs include, inCampus Workshop which invites industrial executives and leaders to meet and brainstorm, the Focus Lab Early Design program was launched to promote industrial designs in products, and the Elite Internship Program was initiated to nurture potential new talents.
This year, Advantech has started a new concept, the Web 2.0/Far End and developed TiC Consortium: Industry Academy Cooperation Alliance. The hope is to invite more enterprises, schools, social groups, and other interested parties to form an alliance for an even more dynamic cooperative platform.
Lastly, Advantech upholds the belief of actively taking care of their employees. Advantech is building the Advantech Beautiful Life (ABLE club). The intention is to help everyone at Advantech enjoy their lives. The ABLE Club promises an array of rewarding art and culture activities, leisure events, talent training, and additional programs. All these activities emphasize a strong, constructive, wholesome, and optimistic motivation to community as a whole.
