Cultivating talent is a key strategy for the sustainable operations of any company that is influenced by international changes. These years, Chenbro initiated three industry-academia collaboration, including: “Chenbro Lecture” with Chung Cheng University, “Smart Robot Camp”, and “Joint Laboratory for Mold Development and R&D” with NKUST.

Chenbro Lecture

Chenbro’s collaboration with Chung Cheng University on the "Chenbro Lecture" series features renowned leaders across various industries. These lectures cover diverse topics, such as leadership, operations management, lean practices, innovation, human resources, finance, strategic choices, and marketing.

By being guided by industry veterans from diverse fields, students are exposed to a variety of industry topics, which helps them understand and develop expertise in different areas, thereby opening up more possibilities.

Smart Robot Summer Camp

To boost industry–academia collaboration, Chenbro partnered with SYNTEC, Chung Cheng University, YunTech, National Formosa University, and Chiayi University to form the Industry–Academia Alliance to hold a 6-week “Smart Robot Camp” at the Chenbro Chiayi Factory.The workshop featured various technologies, including SYNTEC subsidiary LEANTEC's robotic arms. Guided by SYNTEC’s expertise in this field, key courses were designed focusing on the core capabilities required in smart manufacturing. These courses were delivered with the help of professors from the participating universities, whose professional expertise proved invaluable. The Smart Robot Camp, centered on smart manufacturing and automation, employed industry-specific questions, project training, and practical work experience to prepare students for professional life with a balanced mix of theory and practical skills. With its integrated content, the workshop was able to bridge the gap between theory and application while promoting closer collaboration between academia and industry, which is critical for guiding effective industrial developments.

Chenbro and the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, the establishment of "mold development and technology research and development cooperation laboratory", respectively, in the University of Science and Technology and Chenbro Chiayi plant mutual mold laboratory, Chenbro hope that through their own mature mold manufacturing capabilities, linked to the University of Science and Technology's excellent mold development technology and excellent talent, to create a platform for resource integration, to further deepen the exchange of technology and knowledge of mold development, inheritance and innovation mold technology knowledge base, cultivate mold design and manufacturing professionals, and strengthen the international competitiveness of the mold industry upgrading and digital transformation.

Arts and cultural promotion is also a cornerstone of Chenbro's social engagement, encompassing traditional puppetry, Peking opera arts, and support for local artists. Guided by the spirit of "Together, Stronger," Chenbro works to foster new artforms that transcend traditional confines and intersect with the technology industry. Since 2016, the sponsorships contributing to Hsing Youth Legend Theatre and woking capital for Banqiao Broadcasting Center for Contemporary Legend Theatre has reached $18,767,455; the sponsorships for establishing Paul Chiang Art Center in Taitung has accumulated to $ 22,000,000.

Contemporary Legend Theatre Moves into the Banqiao Art & Tech Center

Since 2016, Chenbro has supported Contemporary Legend Theatre, contributing to the preservation and development of Taiwan’s traditional Peking Opera culture. In response to the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and the transformation driven by technology, Chenbro has continued to support the Theatre in developing immersive and innovative performance formats, creating a pioneering fusion of traditional performing arts and digital technology. In 2022, with the aim of helping Contemporary Legend Theatre establish a new home for the transmission of traditional performing arts and promoting greater access to and sharing of arts and culture, Chenbro supported the establishment of the Contemporary Legend Theatre Foundation and assisted the Theatre in successfully undertaking the operation and transfer (OT) project of the historic Banqiao Broadcasting Center in New Taipei City. The Banqiao Broadcasting Center features four major venues: the “Legendary Light and Shadow Immersive Theater,” “Dance Theater,” “Parent-Child Science and Technology Arts Exhibition Hall,” and “Banqiao Story House.” Through cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approaches to theatrical arts, the project integrates Banqiao’s rich historical and cultural heritage with technology and the arts, revitalizing the century-old historic site and breathing new life into it through artistic and cultural expression.

Sponsoring the Establishment of Paul Chiang Art Center

Chenbro not only transforms its corporate premises into a stage for artists, but also aspires for Taiwan to become a global stage for them. Artist Paul Chiang wishes to leave his lifelong body of work and studio in his beloved Taitung, making them permanently accessible to the public. His vision is to complete the artistic and cultural community of Hualien and Taitung and create a lasting impact on the region’s cultural life, tourism, and local development. Chenbro Chairman Chen Mei-chi was invited to serve as a board member of the Paul Chiang Art and Culture Foundation. With sponsorship from Chenbro, Paul Chiang’s former studio was renovated and transformed into the center’s second exhibition hall. The Paul Chiang Art Center officially opened in 2025 and has become one of the most important artistic landmarks on Taiwan’s east coast. The Center also welcomes artists and writers from around the world to stay in residence, experience Taitung’s mountains and ocean, and draw inspiration from the region. Through these exchanges, creators can enrich their creative energy and bring more inspiring and heartwarming works to the world.
