Quote

Network communications is one of Taiwan’s key industries. However, for a long time, Taiwan has largely played the role of a follower rather than a leader in the development of this technology. Hon Hai has successfully transformed from a "manufacturing-focused" company into a "technology-driven" enterprise, and the Hon Hai Research Institute is set to become a vital force for technological innovation. We look forward to collaborating closely with the Institute of Next-Generation Communications to drive breakthroughs and advancements in ICT technologies.
