SECTION B: Project report and reflection

1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, please describe the project and its main objectives.

(1) Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for more than 90% of all the enterprises in the APEC economies. As the main driver of regional and global economic development, SMEs play a decisive role in the relevant economic activities. Nowadays, sharing economic will be a global new trend and MSME require a STI-OIP (Open innovation platform) as their value recreation platform.

(2) This project is to establish a STI-OIP for the industries of the metal dechonology (design+technology) and micro EV of MSME to form clusters through academic innovation, industrial value-chain integration, and best practice of the policy recommendations.

(3) Chinese Taipei will host the subject activities, which includes a design contest on website, a 1-day forum on SMEs’ cluster development with STI integration, and 2-day workshops to experience 2 business models-metal Dechnology and green vehicle, and finally a policy recommendation report.

2. Meeting objectives: Describe how the project met each of its proposed objectives. Please outline any challenges you may have encountered in delivering the activity.

(1) Contest on Metals and/or Green Vehicle (2017/5~7) Purpose

The main goal of the design competition within this project is to demonstrate bringing together new innovative technological concepts through competitive events for specific technology research themes. Outstanding concept proposals from the design competition can be conceptually realized via small and medium-sized enterprise (SMEs), which can prompt them to reach the ultimate goal of advancing up the value chain through technological innovation.

Process and resultTwo main themes have been chosen for the design competition proposals, respectively: (A) Metal dechnology enriches your life & (B) Green vehicle concept design for urban use 。 Proposals were collected from 7 members; a total of 45 design concepts passed the first eligibility check and advanced to the second phase of conceptual review. Each proposal was evaluated and ranked by experts or scholars from APEC economic bodies in the second phase. The ranking standards are in accordance with the announced competition rules, where evaluation is based on the concepts of "Creativity", "Feasibility", and "Market Acceptance". The top 3 and outstanding proposals were decided by council members after 1 month of reviews and discussions.

Benefits achievedThe winners and outstanding performance works in both themes demonstrated how technological innovation (metal applications, vehicle operation models) can be applied to daily life (combined with local cultures to increase convenience), showcasing benefits (practical value, innovative service model) brought about by combining the two. For example, the micro EV operation model, that won 1st place in the vehicle theme, can be used as a reference model for future developments and the inter-connection of SMEs within the EV supply chain.

(2) Forum/workshop/tech visit(2017/10/17~19) (2-1)Forum (10/17) Forum output

The forum included speakers, VIP guests or competition winners from 11 APEC economic bodies including Hong Kong, Viet Nam, Thailand, Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Chile, Papa New Guinea, China and Chinese Taipei. (2) A total of 132 people participated in the forum.

Description of Achievements of the Forum3-days activities successfully invited 23 speakers from 6 different APEC economic bodies (including 17 from Chinese Taipei, 2 from Thailand, 1 from Republic of Korea, 1 from the Philippines, 1 from Malaysia and 1 from Hong Kong), consisting of members of varying backgrounds, from government and industry policy officials, industry experts, research institute CEOs, industry committee leaders, academics to private company CEOs, etc. The forum's focal point was the development trend of global SMEs in technological innovation, in addition to experience sharing of the speakers mentioned above in promoting technology innovation platforms for SMEs value chain clusters, with specific references to metal technology and green vehicle industry clusters.

(2-2)Workshop (10/18) Workshop output

The planned SMEs workshop invited Chinese Taipei SMEs in the metal and automotive industry to share their models for success during development as an example for APEC members. ITRI shared an example of how metal production technology, when coupled with dechnology, can be a concept for the commercialization of products by connecting with SMEs to collaborate on research and production. In regards to the cultivation of technical personnel, ChihKang Co. shared how SMEs can collaborate with academia to train material and production process talent with their own equipment as a platform. Talent cultivation results can be demonstrated with combined efforts of local innovation and open production platforms that allow creative design and production technology to flourish. In recent years this has allowed many creative products to debut, providing a suitable model for APEC members to refer to.

On the issue of green vehicles, speakers shared the current green vehicle operation proposal that Chinese Taipei is currently promoting, and also the recent developments of Electric Vehicles (EVs). In order for the green vehicle operation proposal to be effectively promoted, SMEs of Chinese Taipei have begun to propose shared operation models within the demonstrative ground. Smart phone apps are combined with automated charging services to enhance user experience and convenience, allowing sustainability and space for development.

Workshop achievement descriptionIn the initial discussion of policy recommendations, we invited representatives of participating members to share the innovative technology demands that their SMEs encountered and what steps were needed to be taken on the policy side (e.g. regulations, promotion incentives, enterprise inter-connection support, etc.). Most participating members agree that policy guidance is helpful in forming an SME cluster, and attain technological innovation need to upgrade the value chain through multi-domain integration. In this process, the government will need to lead in determining technology and service pattern demands of the future market and conduct trend analysis. In addition, since research scales of SMEs are limited, capital injections and strategic alliances are vital.

(2-3)Tech Visit (10/19) Itinerary 1: ChihKang TMC museum

ChihKang Metal Co. established a tourist plant (Metal Innovation TMC Museum) in recent years, with the aim to promote the combination of metal materials and dechnology to increase the value of products. The visiting of APEC members was arranged with several key purposes, first to understand how SMEs merge production activities with dechnology and local culture elements to produce high-quality and special products that can enhance the metal material's tangible and intangible values. 　 Secondly, to encourage representatives to experience how SMEs can build an open production platform, via equipment sharing and technology integration, to realize a creative designer's concept into an actual product within a limited amount of time. Through actual production and the communication between the designer and producer, the producer will be assisted in enhancing their production technology such that design requirements can be satisfied and talent development can be consequently attained.

2

During the visit, representatives expressed that they are deeply impressed by ChihKang Co.'s concept of an open production platform and its actual operation status. The model can be used as an example for each member when developing metal production technology.

Itinerary 2: Electric Vehicles Demo SiteThe highlight of the electric vehicle demo site was the observation and trial drive of the micro EV developed by the Chinese Taipei automotive industry and research unit. In addition to introducing the EV's own characteristics and ICT modules or key components of the vehicle, there was also the testing of the Open Innovative Platform. The main benefit is that it enabled APEC members to understand the Open Innovative Platform concept, its operation model and product characteristic and etc, of urban electric vehicles, which can be used as an example for each member when promoting their urban micro EV industry, and consequently improve urban environments. Observations/test rides included patrol-use micro EVs, commercial EVs and other electrical motorbikes etc. These micro EVs are designed based on environments where they can be used in, where the vehicle's positioning is defined and redesigned to fit certain specifications, in which many key components are made by Chinese Taipei's automotive industry cluster. These observation and test ride sessions of the micro EVs included (1) Chinese Taipei's first shared economics electrical motorbike rental business operation model, the "UrDa Smart Shared Electrical Motorbike Rental System". (2) Startup Electric Motorbike GOGORO's successful product development and business model. It uses a rechargeable interface. In the future, there will be discussion with vendors to designate a unified industrial standard based on GOGORO's version. Some key components are provided by SMEs to enhance the development of industry clusters. Innovative technology is integrated into the products, e.g. smart exchangeable battery modules with anti-theft functions, to enhance commercial model development. (3) A key special characteristic of the electric motorbike designed by China Motor Corporation, that currently holds the largest market share, is that it has a parking support function that allows for convenient parking. (4) Demonstrated the micro EV open innovative platform by using the patrol-use EV as an example. (5) Demonstrate products that can be mass-produced via commercial EVs as examples. These products can be used for logistic functions in urban areas in the future.

(3)Policy recommendationProduce one set of policy recommendations/suggestions for metal technology and green vehicle industry cluster promotion and related policies. Contents include(a) Metal technology and micro EVs will require governmental policy support to integrate with the supply chain for cluster development;(b) Establish an open innovative platform (Please refer to 5-2 for details): Metal technology will be used to solve the innovation limitations and insufficient scale of SMEs via maker space. Green vehicles will be focused on A.C.E industry component maker integration, adding in research and educational platforms to solve the difficulty faced by A.C.E component industries in finding a common platform. (Note: A.C.E. = Automated / Connected / Electricity)(c) To achieve APEC's goal of sustainable economic development, government policy makers should invest in establishing a public and private partnership (PPP) R&D platform in order to solve the uncertainty of future markets, reduce the complexity of industry cluster development, and reduce obstacles faced in building technology innovation capacity.

3. Evaluation: Describe the process undertaken to evaluate the project upon completion. (e.g. evaluation through participant surveys, peer reviews of outputs, assessments against indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.). Provide analysis of results of evaluations conducted and where possible include information on impacts on gender. Evaluation data needs to be included as an appendix.

(1) Forum Questionnaire Survey Results170 persons registered for this forum event; 132 attended and 50 effective questionnaires were collected. The questionnaire for this particular SMEs Forum mainly investigated the content of the forum, the overall planning of the activities, the choice of themes, the range of themes covered, the qualifications of the speakers invited, and comprehensibility of the content, and gender equality. Around 37% of the total questionnaires were retrieved. Over 90% of the feedback agreed that the event's main theme was clear, and that the speakers were well-prepared and qualified to speak on the topics. In terms of gender equality and participation, 4 female speakers were invited to this forum (close to 20% of total speakers). A total of 31 female participants took part (23.4% of all participants). Due to the event being mainly related to metal technology and automotive vehicles, there were relatively few female participants and speakers.

Based on the questionnaire replies, most forum participants believe that this event can enhance the connection between other APEC members; Case sharing allowed members to understand each other SME's path of technology innovation in the fields of metal technology and green vehicles, and their corresponding challenges. In addition, forum participants had an increased awareness of the theme by 40% after the event. In terms of the future related applications and plans of the theme, those interviewed mainly provided the following feedback:

(1)The metal industry cluster is the foundation of industrial development, whereas the green vehicle industry is the leading industry, which makes it key to establishing talent mobility. (2)It is generally recognized that industry clusters are closely related to product innovation and service quality of enterprises;(3)The innovative strength of the metal industry and related market application situations should be included in the productivity (product) analysis;(4)In terms of promotion of industry clusters, more complete development strategies are necessary in the future, not only in physical form or under the future IoT development trend, the government needs to provide a more suitable operation model that can be more easily accepted by enterprises;(5)The technological innovation that is taking place in these clusters will effectively enhance the technology and service exchange between local SMEs and large corporations, and possibly even become cross-sector collaborative topics. (6)It is commonly recognized that dechnology has a significant impact on a economy's culture and technology industry. (7)The idea of using metal technology and green vehicles as a demonstrative platform should be expanded to other industries and fields in the future. (8)In fact, student innovation competitions can be part of STI talent development in schools. (9)Use cyber communication platform as a medium to enhance STI collaboration (dechnology or green vehicle platform) amongst economic bodies. (10)By designating value chain integration as the goal, policy makers should engage in infrastructure construction and incentive programs to encourage industry members to participate.

(2)Workshop Questionnaire Survey Results68 persons registered for this workshop event; 71 attended and 32 effective questionnaires were collected. The questionnaire for this particular SMEs Forum mainly investigated the content of the forum, the overall planning of the activities, the choice of themes, the range of themes covered, the qualifications of the speakers invited, and comprehensibility of the content, and gender equality. Over 50% of the total questionnaires were retrieved. Over 70% of the feedback agreeing that the event's main theme was clear, and that the speakers were well-prepared and qualified to speak on the topics. 75% of the participants agreed with the emphasis on gender equality and participation.

Over 50% of the representatives agree that this event can assist in the understanding of topics related to metal dechnology and green vehicles. Through Chinese Taipei's case sharing, representatives received many insights, especially with regards to SMEs of the metal and automotive fields requiring governmental support, their need to introduce innovative technology and how to create value and increase added value via technology integration. Within the feedback, representatives also commented that communication and collaboration efforts between APEC members should be enhanced, to allow SMEs of each economy to replicate successful models and accelerate enterprise value creation.

(3)Tech Visit Questionnaire Survey Results56 persons registered for this Tech Visit event; 56 attended and 12 effective questionnaires were collected. Based on the tech visit event questionnaire, almost all representatives agree that this event effectively demonstrates how Chinese Taipei's outstanding SMEs create value via technology innovation. They also clearly understand how SMEs combined their design concepts and technological innovation into fields such as metal production and green vehicles. In addition, through actually visiting and experiencing, representatives are allowed to reflect on how to replicate the success model into their own SME environment, such that their enterprises can follow the same model and create higher added value products or industrial environments.

However several representatives lamented that the visiting schedule was too tight, that there could have been more metal or vehicle related local plants to be seen to display the concept of an integrated industry or production chain. Alternatively, a visit could have been arranged to the hosting unit - Metals Industries

4

Research & Development Centre (MIRDC)'s related key technology laboratories in these two fields so that representatives can understand how research foundations can assist SMEs in technology upgrades with governmental project support, to demonstrate the possible industrial effects and allow member policy makers to refer to how resources can be efficiently allocated.

5. Outcomes:

5-1. Policy RecommendationIn accordance with the Chinese Taipei metal dechnology and micro green vehicle industry example, policy suggestions are as follows:

(1) WHY: Why do metal technology and micro EVs require policy support to induce cluster development via supply chain integration?• For most APEC members' economic bodies, MSME accounts for more than 90%. • In order to reach APEC's goal of sustainable economic development, government policy makers need to

assist in solving the risk of uncertainty for the future market, reduce the complexity in cluster development, and reduce obstacles faced in building technology innovation capacity.

• Policy makers are best suited to promoting the most suitable basis for communication, cooperation and regulations within APEC regions. Its result will be beneficial to member economic bodies to develop their own policy suggestions.

5-2. Open Innovation PlatformThrough the hosting of this innovation competition, understand the scenarios of demand/preference and limitations of each APEC economic body (especially the metal field) in the free market. By providing university/college students with an innovation and training platform, in which students will devise possible solutions to existing traffic issues based on hypothetical scenarios combined with related guidance courses, where they can put forth solutions that can solve the current transport issue or create metal-related daily use items that satisfy the principle of "environmentally-friendly and innovative technology". Aside from our hope of stimulating ideas for innovative applications among students studying in relevant fields, we further hope to attract outstanding students who will do R&D work in innovative industries in the future. In addition, this mechanism can be portrayed as a value-added platform as well as a platform of exchange and collaboration between colleges from APEC economies and those from Chinese Taipei for topics including applications/operations, research topics, and teaching and research etc.

In terms of the platform for metal technology and green vehicles, it will be vital for SMEs to participate in cluster type inter-industry integration, to combine dechnology culture, real time experience to satisfy the values of smart life via adding design and technology together. It is imperative that under the future trend of shared economics that innovative technology policy and industry promotion can support regulation that will allow mobility integrated solution schemes to solve the issue of smart transport and consequently satisfy the all-round development towards society, environment and industry. The ultimate goal is to bridge the fields of vehicles and non-vehicles and demonstrate the integrated ICT capability.

Monitoring plans in place and proposed indicators to measure impacts, including any impacts on gender. Please summarise relevant information.

5-3 Competition Participation Event Targets: At least 20 pieces of submitted works from at least 5 APEC economies will be included.

There are 44 proposals and 26 proposals for the metal and vehicle themes respectively, consisting of students from 6 different APEC economies. (1) In the application of metal materials and related products, participants from each member economy have corresponding production industries or applications. As a result, most of the proposals are about how to allow metal products to have more functions or higher added value. Metal products are capable of acquiring more added value via combination with different materials (e.g. non-ferrous materials, wood, rubber) to increase their functionality or display metallic feel and durability via surface processing.

(2) In terms of the operation models of green vehicles, due to the fact that most member economies are still under the phase of trial operation, the proposals are very innovative consisting of ideas of restructuring, smart communication, big data analysis and etc. However all proposals aim for a similar goal: to lighten the high transport load of large cities.

5-4 Forum/Workshop Event Targets: To be held in Chinese Taipei for three days with more than 100 persons participating. The theme of the forum is expected to be: “In search of metal Dechnology and Micro Green Vehicle”. The forum of global benchmarking, KFS investigation of best practices, value chain readiness level assessment on SMEs, value chain integration and case studies on metal tourism and micro EV will be conducted as well.

Discuss the development trends of SMEs in the area of technological innovation, and share the experience Chinese Taipei has in promoting the technological innovation platform of the SMEs value chain cluster via the forum. Furthermore, taking the two major industrial clusters of metals technology and green energy vehicles as examples, we can invite each APEC representative to share the experiences of SMEs in their local markets with the development of value-added design in metal technology as well as that of green energy vehicles. In addition, we will arrange a tech visit, which will showcase the work of Chinese Taipei's SMEs in the fields of metal technology and smart green cars, and how through the concept of the Open Innovation Platform, we can work across fields and integrate with outside partners, sharing resources in and innovating together.

Workshops will be held, in which we invite each APEC representative or specialist to speak on the experiences of SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region in the areas of value-added design in metal technology and green and electric vehicles; After discussions and exchanges of ideas regarding the policy and industry promotion strategies for SMEs in the area of scientific and technological innovation (STI), we will ultimately put forward policy recommendations aimed at spurring continuous economic growth as well as technological innovation amongst SMEs.

Comments: What was the approach undertaken for participant nomination/selection and targeting? Please provide details. What follow-up actions are expected? How will participants/beneficiaries continue to be engaged and supported to progress this work?

This institute has continued to invest in industrial-academic cooperation in the metal and automotive vehicle fields for a long period of time, allowing it to grasp the technical capabilities and demands of SMEs in its field. This event mainly invites metal material and product-related makers, automotive and components-related makers, academic experts and research facility specialists.

Apart from email invitations, 3 overseas visits were arranged to visit related APEC member personnel such as those in the Philippines, Viet Nam, Indonesia, and Malaysia to explain the project, the goal, theme of the event and present them with an invitation.

Invited metal-related industry professionals can be divided into material makers, material processing-related vendors and product application vendors; In terms of dechnology, apart from inviting well-known designers, we also invited creative and technologically-innovative vendors to join the event based on related information from a previous light metal competition. Vehicle-related industry expert invitations include existing green vehicle makers, ICT vendors, smart or key module vendors and academic or research units, etc.

In terms of the future development of SME innovation, if there are any plans by other member bodies to host an event, this project's team will notify related Chinese Taipei professionals to promote participation and gain experience to serve as a reference for the future development and innovation of industry cluster technology.

7. Key findings: Describe 1-3 examples of key findings, challenges or success stories arising from the project (e.g. research or case studies results, policy recommendations, roadblocks to progress on an issue, impacts on gender).

(1) Metal ExampleIn terms of policy recommendations for metal materials and products development, this project focuses on policy resources and suitable operation models to support SMEs undergo innovative upgrades. We can allow participating guests to understand the process and viewpoint of value creation for SMEs and what kind of policy guidance or resources are needed, based on global benchmarking and best practice sharing. We can see from the discussion feedback from representatives that when governments use policies to guide enterprise development, they must have enough foresight to determine the market's future demand for SMEs. In addition, it should have varying incentives and promotive mechanisms depending on the development characteristics and risks of the industry (e.g. technological research funding, product tax concessions, establishment of open-source research platforms, etc.). The goal of research platforms is to provide services, facilitate strategic alliances, and reduce the amount of time required to transform technology into products. A sound R&D platform should be able to facilitate cooperation between SMEs of different fields, to implement either horizontal or vertical strategic integration, and realize client's demand into products. Each member can apply their own core technology to communicate with other members on the R&D platform, facilitating technology connection, upgrade, innovation while promoting the related product to satisfy customer and market demands and consequently attaining higher added value.

In terms of global benchmarking, we use Japan's metal industry development model in the Tsubame-Sanjo region as an example to share why and how open R&D platforms can assist traditional industry clusters to increase product added value. Designer and consumer demands and concept can be realized into real products by engineering personnel via the concept of an open factory. When product customization levels are increased, so does added value. However, to transform a design concept into a product does not only require corresponding equipment and process, but also relies on the engineering personnel's experience. High customization and specialization of products can prompt engineering personnel to continue to gain production experience and fulfill the goal of talent training.

Using Chinese Taipei as an example, the well-known fishing equipment maker OKUMA has transformed from OEM vendor into an OBM vendor. The underlying reason is not just because the mid-region of Chinese Taipei’s

8

product chain (e.g. casting, forging, turning, surface processing) is complete and well-divided, but also because the newly-introduced process via cooperation with the MIRDC allows an increase in product quality. The MIRDC invests in advanced metal processing technology research with the support of governmental resources, improving their own equipment's capability to establish an innovation and prototyping center. Related vendors in the industry chain can use this platform during the product research phase to conduct process simulation analysis, small volume trial production and final product quality tests, and introduce advanced material or process application to newly-developed product lines to increase the product's value and competitiveness. Product value enhancement via the innovation and prototyping center has assisted OKUMA in leading related industry technology upgrades within the industry chain and has been rewarded the Excellent Product Award by the government for 3 consecutive years. The key for OKUMA to successfully transform itself from an OEM vendor to an OBM maker and the world's third largest fishing equipment maker is due to the upgrade of product quality via SME technology upgrade, prompting the product towards becoming a novelty, where its functionality and quality are recognized by consumers, allowing its added value to increase, to bring about industry chain upgrades and create even more general derivative effects.

This project allows representatives to experience how Chinese Taipei's SME ChihKang created the SMEs maker space and used it to conduct talent training, to ensure long-term research capability and technical personnel supply via workshops and tech visit events. After ChihKang invested in equipment related to material forming, it started to merge metal product design with local cultural features. Culturally-rich metal products not only bring about advertisement effects for the local culture, but also effectively achieve the final goal of increasing the product's added value. For talent training, ChihKang cooperates with the government's long-term talent training policy, assisting neighboring vocational educational institutes to gain all types of metal material processing experience via maker space. Well trained personnel have sufficient on-the-job experience, which allows an employee to use their own technical capabilities to support customization and highly complex products when entering related fields, and support to enhance the corresponding enterprise's impression and value via high-value products.

(2) Vehicle Example(a) It is a general trend to apply shared economy on vehicles In the future, with the rise of shared rides and carpooling, the development of smart cars that are safe, convenient, comfortable, and effectively mobile will rely on policy and regulation, as well as the funding of R&D, from the experimental and demonstration stages to the implementation of small-scale innovative operation models. This will help to urge SMEs to integrate across sectors (Auto + ICT) in the R&D and design of green cars as well as in the creation of prototypes, and thereby help to form a value chain for low-speed green vehicles for use in urban spaces.

(b) Electric vehicle development in advanced markets to reduce fuel vehicles is a clear attitude. The commercialization and popularization of EVs is foreseeable in developed markets. Europe: With the development of hybrids and EV technology, the schedule for prohibiting the sale of fuel trucks will be announced. Norway, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and France will begin to prohibit the sale of fuel trucks starting from 2030 to 2050; regulations in Japan and the United States will also follow.

(c) Emerging markets are accelerating the development of new energy vehicles under the policies guidance. This is especially obvious in China and India, where proactive automotive industry policies have been introduced. Both have designated fixed targets to increase the market share and sales amount of new energy vehicles, rapidly bringing about market demand in a short period of time, creating a demand-driven market. At present, China and India, both of which have an extremely large domestic demand, are giving their full support to the development of EVs.

(d) Israel's mid-small automotive vehicle industry's stunning performance is a great example of SME development for smart green vehicles. Israel's startups have outstanding performances in advanced technology of net security, artificial intelligence, machine learning and etc., that helps the local SMEs to rise as a new base for automotive vehicle component suppliers and service vendors. This serves as a good reference for the development of automotive SMEs in APEC economies to observe and learn from.

(e) The representative vendor for Chinese Taipei SME development of electric motorbike is GOGORO. Chinese Taipei's Venture Capital, Angel Fund, Government Fund, OEM/Tier 1, Policy Budget Allocation (IDB/DOIT) are all supporters of the new-generation SMEs of the automotive industry. Chinese Taipei has always placed "Production technology and Technology Modules" as the first priority, however, GOGORO is a rare funding program that started from the product end. In hindsight, the first-generation GOGORO was not well-received on the market, but

9

with a final product, there is an opportunity to directly communicate with the consumers and Chinese Taipei's supply chain component makers, allowing them to gradually increase market share.

(f) Under the general trend of vehicle power saving, electric power, and smart vehicles, Chinese Taipei's SME research of A.C.E components can be done via non-profit organizations, such as the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC)'s vehicle open platform -- micro EV as its supply chain integration platform. In addition, MIRDC's fast prototyping and vehicle system integration technology has a built foundation that can act as the value integrator for ICT and EVs.

8. Next steps: Describe any planned follow-up steps or projects, such as workshops, post-activity evaluations, or research to assess the impact of this activity. How will the indicators from Question 5 be tracked? How will this activity inform any future APEC activities?

Referencing one of the key topics, the advice for SME cluster development, we invited the Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences to establish a module center to serve SMEs, to connect to APEC economic bodies with the maker space spirit, and satisfy the goal of communication between SME clusters. The main participants can view the academic realm as Champion, where relative stakeholders include non-profit organizations, IMS Solution Providers, APEC MES, Local/Global Customers (Industry), and Education System Suppliers. In the future, this module center will possess Intelligent Manufacturing System capabilities and will be able to hold academic/research collaborations across APEC economies to support SMEs in expanding to the global market.

This park can replicate the How and What strategies (As described in Target Content 5-1) that Chinese Taipei's policy advises, inviting academic institutes from multiple parties to join while providing research resources combined with upstream material, metallic module vendors, and local module application vendors (e.g. vehicles, furniture, home appliances, mechanical equipment and etc.) to enhance the cluster's technical capability and global supply chain importance.

In terms of green vehicles, the plan is to discuss with ADIVA, GOGORO and other vendors to join the 2018 EV Forum in Thailand, to connect with green vehicle-related SME cluster development in other APEC economic bodies.

9. Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have suggestions for more effective support by APEC fora or the Secretariat? Any assessment of consultants, experts or other stakeholders to share? The Secretariat examines feedback trends to identify ways to improve our systems.

(1) Some speakers provided feedback, hoping APEC's Department of Secretary can increase the flexibility and convenience of the current airplane ticket booking system in consideration of some cities requiring over two legs of transfer and or long distances of travel. (2) Some guests have provided feedback, hoping APEC's Department of Secretary can remind in advance which identity documentation is required via email and send back documents such as boarding passes for reimbursement processes.
