Everyone has a “Tainan” in mind; everyone’s Tainan has his or her own color.

Academic Calendar Fall Semester 2018

In May 2018, ICID took advantage of the required course “Creative Industries Experience” to visit Furoto company in Kaohsiung, and introduced the briefing and presentation by the chairman. During the visit, there were several trends in the social aspects of senior citizens, such as the construction of a full-aged living space, community-based care for all ages, innovative realization of the life of elderly people, friendly tourism for senior citizens, and activation and rejuvenation of physical and mental functions to let students have more comprehensive understanding. The visiting students also started from the core subjects of product creation, digital design, and service design, etc., and had a deeper idea of innovation for the follow-up direction of their own learning and implementation research. Through the interaction of the company’s visits, the company’s fieldwork internship program for the sophomore students was also started.

During the month of January 2018, ICID invited innovative entrepreneurs such as QIZHI(噐質), Paper Talk(紙曰) and 653studio who based in Tainan to create a new business model course in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship in the course “Innovation Management”. The founders of the three companies visited C-Hub of Cheng Kung University to issue questions for three groups of students. The students conducted research and market research for three weeks after the workshop. Finally, they used strategy maps and value proposition maps, business model blueprints, storytelling maps, gamification design frameworks and other curriculum tools, and cooperate with the founders to create the next phase of the strategy positioning process recommendations.
