As 2012 marks RP's 10th year of innovation, Republic Polytechnic in Singapore celebrated it with a special Technology Forum which brings together the three Cluster areas (representing the Supply Chain /Logistics, Healthcare & Wellness and Environment Clusters). Stephen Su, General Director of IEK, was invited to deliver a speech on “Transformation for Open Innovation in Taiwan” at the Programme for Republic Polytechnic Technology Forum 2012 on 7 September. In his speech, Stephen first pointed out some strengths and challenges in Taiwan industries. He talked about one of the unique strengths being the public-private partnership (PPP) model for collaborative research and commercialization. Then he described future open innovation in Taiwan. Contrary to traditional thinking, innovation should be the transformation of knowledge into money, not just investing money for research only. Also He proposed more emphasis would be placed on needs discovery before solutions and technology innovations. And Finally he concluded with how to keeping continuous transformation for Open Innovation in Taiwan. It would be highly important to control and leverage Service-based Applications Ecosystems in the future, which would be composed of 4 value-web elements: System platform, value-add apps, business operations, and cultural innovation.

為了慶祝10周年校慶，新加坡共和理工學院匯集了三大領域(供應鏈/物流、健康照護以及環境)於9月7日舉辦了一系列特別的技術論壇，工研院IEK蘇孟宗主任受邀發表《台灣開放創新之轉換》主題演說。演說中，蘇主任首先點出一些台灣產業的優勢與挑戰，他談及公部門與私部門的合作夥伴關係(PPP)模式為合作研究及商品化的獨特優勢之一。接著，他描述了台灣未來的開放創新，與傳統思維相反的，創新應該是知識轉化成金錢，而不只是投資金錢僅為研究。此外，他提出應將更多的重點放在解決方案前的需求發現和技術創新。並且，最後他總結論述台灣之開放創新如何不斷改造，在未來，服務型應用生態體系的控制與利用將非常重要，這會由四個價值網路元素組成：系統平台、加值應用、營運服務，以及在地文創。
