Letting the World See a Diverse Taiwan
CTCIEF's “120h Taiwan in My Eyes” Event Successfully Held

The CTCI Education Foundation (CTCIEF) and the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE) are co-hosting the nationwide “120h Taiwan in My Eyes” event. Twelve teams composed of twelve local and 36 foreign students, from nine schools around Taiwan and 24 countries around the world, take part in the five-day competition to tour around the island. The first stop on their tour, on July 3, was the headquarters of CTCI, and a wrap-up presentation and final evaluation was held at the same venue on July 13th. Eugene Chien, Chairman of CTCIEF and of TAISE, Mr. Ming Cheng Hsiao, Executive Director of CTCI EF, and CEO of Prof. Young Ku, CEO of TAISE jointly served as judges and presented the participating teams with event scholarships. The presentations provided excellent audiovisual and textual contents in Chinese and English explaining the 120 hours of in-depth discovery of Taiwan and adventure along the way with the student’s observations and sharing on social network platforms describing their daily journals, discovery, experiences, and feelings as they encountered Taiwan’s people, places and things, using photographs and short videos to narrate the student’s complete and exciting participation, allowing the world to continue to further enjoy greater international visibility of Taiwan. 

Locations in this event include CTCI, Shin Kong Life, the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau (HSPB), the Miaoli Incineration Plant, Taichung City Government, and Far Eastern Department Stores' Top City Taichung Store. On-site visits will allow the visitors to see Taiwan's strengths in global construction; long-term social concern; ecological and environmental education; scientific innovation capacity; city government service effectiveness; the transformation of the department store distribution service industry; and the inheritance and sustainability of major manufacturing industry. Every day, the team members will use dozens of languages to realize the goal of sharing across global social media for 120 hours. Through their perspectives and the mutual sparks of inspiration they help to set off, the visibility of Taiwan's strengths in sustainable development will be greatly heightened.

As a citizen in the international engineering and business sectors, CTCI doesn't only create world-class paragons of EPC project executions around the globe. CTCI has also established the CTCI Education Foundation to proactively improve the standard of education, train superb talent, encourage academic research, institute life-long learning, and promote national competitiveness. This event brings domestic benchmark businesses, science parks and local government together in partnership. Through on-site visits and in-depth exploration, local and foreign students will come to experientially learn about the sustained meaning and concrete results of life, education, enterprise, ecology and culture in Taiwan. And, through sharing their observations and deep impressions of Taiwan's food, clothing, housing, transport, education, fun and beauty on social media, they will share with the world how Taiwan is moving toward sustainable development.
