Conclusions

Purpose of Foresight obtain a challenging view of the future and an effective strategy

to promote human benefit; to face global challenges e.g., aging population, new energy (solar chips)

Foresight: EU and Taiwan Taiwan’s high-tech manufacture can complement EU’s research e.g., Biomedical Sensor-Taiwan, D-Taiwan, M-Taiwan (mobile wireless applications), Solar Chip-Taiwan, 15nm Manufacture???…etc
