Unique Venture Expertise– Discerning industry trend and initiating venture projects

iscerning the industry trend, ITIC has been able to catch the critical industries for its investment focus over time. ITIC initiated its investment in the semiconductor industry. Since early 1980s, ITIC has actively invested in the semiconductor industry. United Microelectronics Corp. founded in 1980, ITIC's first investment entity, has become the second largest IC foundry in the world.

In mid 1990s, ITIC heavily invested in the opto-electronic display industry. Foreseeing the commercial value of liquid crystal display (LCD), ITIC cofounded Acer Display Technologies, Inc. with Acer in 1996, which became a benchmark of flat panel industry in Taiwan. After being merged with Unipac Optoelectronics, ADT became AU Optronics, the third largest TFT LCD panel manufacturer in the world today. With a strong belief in the Internet value, ITIC has been sensibly looking for investments in the area of network infrastructure-related hardware and software since late 1990s.

ITIC does not only review submitted investment deals, but also originates and initiates venture projects internally, leveraging great resources from ITRI. In addition, ITIC is dedicated to coaching entrepreneurs and management team of ITIC’s portfolio companies and potential investment deals. We view each new investment as a long-term partnership based upon mutual respect, common goals and a joint commitment to realizing the rewards of building a successful business.
