In addition to academic research, it has also extended to fields such as sports technology, e-sports, innovation and entrepreneurship, hoping to cultivate students' ability to face future industrial changes.

On the other hand, the Department of Public Administration and Policy and the Department of Business Administration of Taipei University once again hosted a live broadcast of Huang Jen-Hsun’s keynote speech on campus this year, and the 400 seats were also quickly filled.
