Past Chairman and Secretary General

Since the establishment of the Intelligent Computing and Internet of Things Association (ICAA), we have upheld the core mission of “advancing industrial upgrades, promoting smart applications, and expanding global perspectives,” striving to build a vital platform for the development of Taiwan’s smart industry. Looking back at the original vision of founding the association, I firmly believe that true innovation and transformation can only be achieved through close collaboration among industry, government, academia, and research sectors. That’s why we have actively facilitated technical exchanges and strategic partnerships among our members, promoted cross-industry integration, and built long-term connections with international organizations to unlock global opportunities for Taiwan’s industries.

I believe the future of the smart industry lies not only in technological innovation but also in the restructuring of the value chain and the co-creation of an industry ecosystem. ICAA’s role is to serve as a bridge—connecting resources, building consensus, and accelerating practical implementation. Moving forward, I hope the association will continue to amplify its platform influence and support more enterprises in embracing the new era of digital transformation and sustainable development.

I sincerely thank every member for your support and dedication. Let us work together to write a brighter chapter for Taiwan’s smart industry.

Since its establishment, the Intelligent Computing and Internet of Things Association (ICAA) has remained committed to its core mission of "driving industrial upgrades, advancing smart applications, and connecting global resources." Our goal is to unite upstream and downstream forces in the smart industry to build the most influential industrial platform in Taiwan.

As the second-term Chairperson, I am deeply aware of the significance of this responsibility. Building upon the foundation laid by our founding team, we have focused on fostering deeper industry collaboration and practical cooperation. We have actively expanded member services by promoting technical forums, cross-industry networking, policy advocacy, and international engagement. These efforts aim to help members seize the opportunities and tackle the challenges brought by emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, edge computing, 5G, and ESG.

During this term, ICAA has also strengthened dialogue with government, academia, and research sectors. We’ve built strategic alliances with organizations such as the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (TEEMA), the AI Chip Alliance—comprising the Taiwan AI Chip Alliance (AITA), Cloud Computing & IoT Association in Taiwan (CIAT), Chinese Software Association (CISA), Institute for Biotechnology and Medicine Industry (IBMI), ICAA, Photonics Industry & Technology Development Association (PIDA), Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards (TAICS), and TEEMA—as well as the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). These partnerships pave the way for innovative cross-disciplinary applications.

At the same time, we have remained focused on members’ practical needs by introducing more customized services and creating opportunities for global market integration. Our goal is to help enterprises enhance their competitiveness and accelerate their transformation and upgrading.

Looking ahead, ICAA will continue to uphold the values of professionalism, mutual success, and forward-thinking vision. We aspire not only to be a guide in technology and trends but also to serve as the strongest support for every member. I sincerely thank all our members for your continued support and participation. Together, let us shape a new future for Taiwan’s smart industry and showcase ICAA’s strength and value on the world stage.

Dear ICAA members and industry partners,

I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with the role of Chairman for the third term of the Intelligent Computing & AIOT Association (ICAA). Your trust and support mean a great deal to me. I fully understand that this position is not only a recognition, but also a significant responsibility.

Since its establishment, ICAA has now entered its third term. From humble beginnings to a more structured and stable organization, we have always upheld the mission of “fostering industry collaboration, advancing smart technology, and strengthening international connectivity.” Together, we have built consensus within the industry and created broader horizons and opportunities for our members. These achievements are thanks to the dedication and contributions of all past chairpersons, board members, and every member who has worked tirelessly to help ICAA secure its standing and continue to shine in the fields of industrial computing and IoT.

As the industry rapidly evolves, emerging trends such as AI + robotics, 5G, edge computing, and ESG have become key drivers for industrial transformation and sustainable growth. We must not only keep pace, but strive to stay ahead. Looking to the next two years, I envision ICAA deepening our work across three strategic pillars:

1. Integrating resources to enhance member collaboration and cross-industry association partnerships;
2. Promoting digital transformation and building stronger connections between industry, academia, and research to accelerate innovation;
3. Expanding global perspectives to align with international markets and strategic partners.

With “Service, Collaboration, and Innovation” as our guiding principles, I will work hand-in-hand with our board and task force teams to deliver tangible value for all members. Our goal is to ensure ICAA remains your strongest support and trusted partner.

Thank you once again for placing this responsibility in my hands. I will lead our third-term team with humility, dedication, and unwavering commitment to fulfill our mission and live up to your expectations.

Wishing everyone continued success in your careers, good health, a happy family life, and all the best in the year ahead!

Sincerely,
Ken Lu
