Ching-Jong Liao, President of the NTUST, stated that the university is capable of customizing multiple solutions to different business demands by providing the research and development necessary to the AI and green industries. Liao plans on further expanding industrial-academic relationships to the global level by broadening the markets of domestic manufacturers internationally and linking R&D energy with transnational scientific research institutions and industries.

For many years, the NTUST has been actively collaborating with Germany, United States, and Japan in the industrial-academic movements. In addition, the university holds a great deal of alumni resources spanning internationally from countries including the United States, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia who are assets in promoting industrial-academic cooperation.
