In the 21st century, industry officially entered an era of storage clouds, large data, virtual reality, networking and artificial intelligence (the Industry 4.0 age). As such, human life, work and consumption patterns have gradually changed. Through all the years, CTCI has been implementing a wide range of complex projects on an international stage. These projects have included engineering integration which we take great pride in and is among our core work. However, in response to changes in the world's new sustainable environmental markets, we actively face new challenges and circumstances. That is why we keep up with the latest trends and developments, so that we can meet the expectations and needs of this new era of customers. This is the basis of sustainable management.

In the current issue of “Outlook” column, Mr. Michael Yang, Group Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Group Engineering Business, stated "CTCI will build a smart engineering service system with the aim of creating intelligent EPC project." He continued, "And through a ‘vertical and horizontal’ outreach we will extend the original EPC service areas as well as comprehensively strengthen the team's engineering integration ability." So, how do you integrate the management concept of the ‘’Industry 4.0" into EPC lump sum projects? How can you successfully create an intelligent EPC (iEPC) project while providing both innovative virtual and real life integration services? The current issue of “Technology” has an in-depth, yet easy to comprehend explanation.

Global warming, climate change and resource depletion is becoming more and more serious. Energy saving and carbon reduction are becoming a concern for every enterprise. They are also large focus of industrial development. This issue of "Discover Reliable" introduces the "Mitsui Outlet Park LinKou Project” certified with Green Building Silver Certificate because of CTCI team’s insistence on introducing environmentally friendly, green energy technology as well as intelligent mechanical and electrical systems to the project. This project yielded Taiwan a world class leisure village, while successfully overcoming sustainable development issues. In the wake of the latest International Climate Convention, the Paris Agreement in (which has been implemented in 2016), the current issue "Sustainable Future" has spurred efforts to actively respond to the need of reducing carbon emmissions, while increasing the continued developent of carbon management practices in engineering and technical services. It is also calling for carrying out the concept of corporate social responsibility.

CTCI people are global citizens; in this issue of "CTCI Family" Nitin Sood, who is from India and joined CTCI's Electrical Engineering Department Taipei office last year, shares his experiences of his time in Taiwan.
