Effective problem-solving requires not only leveraging new technological frameworks and tools but also innovative thinking. Understanding the needs of different groups and finding solutions to interrelated challenges requires individuals with international perspectives. What is the role of higher education and universities in fostering innovative talent?
Our second Annual Forum brought together leaders and experts from across the Asia Pacific and beyond, including Gov. James Gilmore and Taiwan’s VP-elect Bi-khim Hsiao as keynote speakers, for insightful and exciting discussions on a plethora of topics: US and Taiwan leadership, economic interdependence, sustainability, health and energy policy, AI, disaster preparedness, resilience, and innovation.
CAPRI is exploring how talent pipelines can be strengthened to give people the skills, opportunities, and mindsets the Asia Pacific needs to build economic and societal resilience.
In this op-ed, Chair of CAPRI, Syaru Shirley Lin advocates for an inclusive approach that cultivates domestic talent and welcomes international professionals. In a world marked by rapid transformation, how should Taiwan transform into a dynamic and diverse talent pool?
Our inaugural Annual Forum featured 19 speakers from 12 countries, including Malcolm Turnbull, Chen Chien-jen, members of our International Advisory Council, and board and key stakeholders in the region’s policy community. They discussed pressing challenges to resilience and solutions as the Asia Pacific emerges from the latest crisis and prepares for future ones.
CAPRI focuses on the challenges of recruiting international talents. All Hands Taiwan mentioned the cultural differences when it comes to international recruitment, which leads to the discussion about how innovative governance can play a part in solving the issues of immigration policies, cultural barriers, and salary imbalances.
