YODEX Industry-Academia Cooperation
New Form of Academia and Industry Cooperation Platform
Building an interactive platform where enterprises set topics and students propose solutions.
Establish Interdisciplinary Cooperation Model
Industry Diversification and Academia-Industry Cooperation across Departments and Schools.
Incubate Excellent Creative Talents
Incubating outstanding talents for enterprises through close interactions between businesses and students.
"Since launching the first “Designer Venture Challenge Project” in 2014, TDRI has continued inviting enterprises from all disciplines to set topics for graduation projects by students in related departments. In addition to holding open call for submissions from outstanding teams, TDRI also invites enterprises to provide design talents guidance and related knowledge on industries, so that the academia understands practical needs of the enterprises, thus narrowing the gap between academia and real practice.
Also, through the process, enterprises can discover outstanding talents and develop innovative merchandise or service models with great potentials. Through the platform of “YODEX,” the project will continue promoting the idea of academia-industry design cooperation, and drive the “new value and new business model” of academia-industry cooperation."
