Mission
Biotechnology is regarded as a new industrial revolution in the 21st century. In response to the drastic changes in development of the technology in the industry, the university has established an Incubation Center within the campus to deal with the increasingly important relationship between academic researches of the industries. Development of biotechnology in industry is quite a new business in Taiwan. The critical mass of the teams for research and development in industry is comparatively small with respect to developed countries. In order to increase our competitiveness in the development of biotechnology in industry, most of the research laboratories of the universities should, inevitably, take the responsibility to assist the industry to develop their research and development programs. This is the main reason for the establishment of the National Yang-Ming University Incubation Center (YMIC).
Development Objectives
