In response to the ever-changing world, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) is actively involved in the transformation of its industry-academia collaboration business. In August 2020, NCKU established the Innovation Headquarter for Industry-Academia, which includes the Innovation Acceleration Center, the Center for Corporate Relations and Technology Transfer, the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Center, and the Business and Administration Divisions, in addition to the affiliated centers under the Headquarter. Professor Chuang, Woei-Jer, Assistant Vice President of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), serves as the Director of the Headquarter; Professor Chang, Chih-Han of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, serves as the Chief Operating Officer; Professor Lee, Yung-chun of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Professor Lee, Wen-Hsi of the Department of Electrical Engineering, serves as the Deputy Chief Operating Officer.
 
The Innovation Headquarter for Industry-Academia was established by integrating the three main units responsible for industrial business at NCKU, including the Research and Services Headquarter, the Technology Transfer and Business Incubation Center, and the Global Research and Industry Alliance, to create the Innovation Headquarter for Industry-Academia, a continuation of the name of the previous Headquarter, which implies the meaning of inheritance.
