I am grateful and satisfied to join the CTCI Enterprise Visit. As a graduate student, this activity gave me such great chance to connect with the companies in Taiwan. These enterprises opened my minds to the corporate values and technologies. In the trip, we first visited InvesTaiwan, a platform for foreign investors, is also a bridge between Taiwan government and foreign talents. InvesTaiwan (foreign entrepreneurs) together with Contact Taiwan (foreigners searching for jobs) provide a lot of governmental assistances. Important information on how international talents search and apply jobs, as well as living in Taiwan had presented clearly to us. One important thing must know is the Points System for Foreign Graduates that is critical in getting a job in Taiwan. CTCI Corp. is one of the biggest companies that have big influence in engineering, procurement and EPC. Even though it’s a small chance for me to be accepted to the CTCI Corp., but I can pass this information to my friends study in chemical background. Visiting Foxgreen was most interesting to me. Foxgreen has machinery for food recycling by using EM (effective microorganisms) products to ferment waste foods into fermented dryer such as fermented soil. These products are suitable for companies aim to protect environment by recycling waste food products into fertilizer in agriculture, animal feed in animal husbandry and fishery industry. Foxgreen is the leading industry for achieving circular economy. I think there is a large market for Foxgreen and its products. TOPCO Scientific, focuses on food-technology, accepts job applications of foreign students. Another wow factor from TOPO is that it built Anyo Museum to introduce fresh food packaging and sale safe food products. At the museum, we learned the fishery manufacturing processes from fresh product till final products, which one is unable to learn from books. We got to know more about Taiwan in these three days. Last but not least, the accompanying staffs of the CTCI Foundation served us well! I would highly recommend my friends about this event!
