LEAP

What's LEAP

為培育臺灣高階科技創新創業人才，引領臺灣高品質人才連結未來世界以建立我國創新平臺，科技部推動「博士創新之星計畫」，選派具創新創業企圖心之高階人才赴美國、法國及以色列等企業、新創公司以及知名學研機構進行專案合作研習6-12個月。希望藉此開拓我國高階人才之能力與創新思維，並透過參與當地創新創業或相關社群活動，建立我國與海外創新資源之連結，並在返臺後能對臺灣產業或學研界有所貢獻。

To cultivate high-level scientific and technological talents with an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit, and connect them with the world to strengthen Taiwan’s innovation platform, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) launches the "LEAP Program" to send Taiwan’s high-quality talents to various corporations, startups, or research institutes in the U.S., France, and Israel for 6 to 12 months. We hope that through this program, high-quality talents can develop strategic thinking and entrepreneurship skills, connect with local innovation and startup related communities and activities so that Taiwan can establish stronger networks with innovative resources worldwide. We also expect LEAP Fellows to make contributions from what they learned to domestic industries after they return to Taiwan.

她形容在參加LEAP以前，心裡一直懷著深入新藥研發領域的種子，但這顆種子埋在台灣，無法如願發芽，「參與LAEP program實習的一年到現在，我則是坐在電腦前面寫程式、做數據分析，就如同種子已經發芽成長，我們能見到花苞，並等待它開花。」

She described that before participating in the LEAP Program, she had always cherished the seeds of going deep into the field of new drug research and development, but this seed was buried in Taiwan and could not germinate as she wished. "From the year I have participated in the LAEP Program until now, I have been sitting in front of the ...

歷經美國一年的訓練，巫建興認為，處在自己「非主場優勢」的工作環境，才能真正瞭解自己的優缺點。為了與外國人一起工作，他必須多一分同理心、善用時間，融入當地的文化，學習他們規劃事情的邏輯。

After a year of training in the United States, Wu, Jian-Xing believes that only by working in a "non-home advantage" working environment can he truly understand his strengths and weaknesses. To work with foreigners, he must be more empathetic, use his time wisely, integrate into the local culture, and learn their logic of planning things.
