With innovation as one of the core values, ITRI leverages its extensive R&D expertise, high-quality patents and technological capabilities to meet the needs of industrial economic and social sustainable development. In response to the four major forces shaping the future of industrial development—affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, and reduced inequalities, as well as sustainable cities and communities—ITRI has identified the following key driving factors: "Digital technologies and the economy transforming industrial structures and lifestyles," "Demographic shifts influencing productivity and elderly care," "Impact of 2050 net-zero emissions goals on society and industry," and "Industrial and social resilience emerging as critical to future national and economic development." ITRI strives to create new industrial value amid global competition, transform everyday life through forward-looking technological innovation, and develop market-oriented solutions that strengthen international collaboration and promote industrial investment to advance human well-being and to lead industries and society toward a brighter, more sustainable future. Many of ITRI’s award-winning technologies from both domestic and international sources have been transferred to domestic manufacturers and commodified over the years. Through research and development, ITRI continues to strengthen social and industrial resilience and contribute to the sustainable development of Taiwan and the world.
