About Epoch/ILP
Massachusetts Institution of Technology, with a vibrant history
of entrepreneurship, has been well known for its outstanding technology-based
innovation and solid relationship with business communities. According
to a survey conducted by Bank of Boston, over 4,000 MIT related
companies were established as of 1997, creating more than 1,100,000
job opportunities and generating annual revenues of over US$232
million. Since 1997, close to 200 additional MIT related companies
have been founded.
Considering that MIT is one of the most important R&D trendsetter
and the window to global industry and market trends, 20 leading
companies from Taiwan supported Epoch Foundation in 1993 to initiate
the Epoch-MIT Industrial Liaison Project (Epoch-ILP) with MIT's
Industrial
Liaison Program. Since then, Epoch/ILP has been helping bridge
MIT/ILP to its Taiwan member companies while MIT/ILP functions as
the "search engine" and Epoch representative at MIT to
access internationally-recognized experts, innovative technology,
and leverage unique cooperation opportunities. The member companies
have been taking advantage of MIT's advanced R&D resources to
predict and keep ahead of industry changes, develop new products
and processes, and adopt innovative technology and management practices.
