ZOLLHOF, a tech incubator based in Nuremburg, Germany hosted a three-day “Digital Tech Summit 2019” from October 11th to 13th. The event consisted of a digital technology forum and a hackathon event, attracting more than 800 corporate participants and students from around the world. Feng Chia University was the only Asian university to participate in the hackathon competition, and has won the second prize with its outstanding performance.

The themes of the hackathon, which were jointly proposed by 4 well-known German companies: Nürnberg Versicherung, Siemens Healthineers, Adidas and Nürnberg Messe, aimed to tackle the challenges faced by the companies in the fields of mobility, sports and health. Participants were expected to work across disciplines in order to find potential solutions within three days.

Participants formed 20 teams on the spot. Three students from Feng Chia University, Chen Kuan Ho from Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (College of Information and Electrical Engineering), Liao Ying Chia from Department of International Business (College of Business) and Low Soon Yung from Department of Economics (College of Business), have joined two teams respectively.

Team “My Fit”, where Kuan Ho and Ying Chia belong to, proposed an idea to use the 3D modelling technique to measure users’ feet size, which in turn lowers the return rate of online purchases. Their innovative idea has been awarded the “Best Technical Award”, which is equivalent to the runner-up award. The product has received the attention of Adidas’ product development department and inspired Adidas to conceive a new business model. Currently, the team collaborates with Adidas for further prototype development, test, and future commercialization.

Soon Yung and his teammates from team “Fairy Trail” have used machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) technique to facilitate the matching between exhibitors and visitors of a bioorganic food fair. Their solution was designed to reduce the visit time and increase the number of visitors.

The three students are very grateful to have the opportunity to participate in the international contest with the support and sponsorship from iSchool, College of Business, and College of Information and Electrical Engineering. They are especially thankful to the chair of Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science – Dr Nien-Lin Hsueh, the director of Global Village of Business Education and Industry-Academic Extension Service – Dr Hsin-Yu Liang, and the director of AACSB International Accreditation and Innovative Business Teaching Office – Dr Yi-Fang Chiang for their guidance and advices on smart operation in business innovation across disciplines.

德國紐倫堡技術孵化中心10月11日至13日在當地主辦為期三天之「Digital Tech Summit 2019」，活動分為數位科技論壇與黑客松賽事，吸引了全球超過800位業界人士與學生參與，逢甲大學是唯一參加黑客松賽事的亞洲學校，且表現亮眼，取得亞軍殊榮。

黑客松（Hackathon）競賽題目是由德國知名四家國際廠商Nürnberg Versicherung、Siemens Healthineers、adidas、Nürnberg Messe共同提出，主要針對「移動、運動、健康」三大領域，探討企業所面臨的問題，並讓參賽者在短短3天中進行跨領域合作，提出解決方案。

參賽者在現場組成20支隊伍，本校資訊電機學院碩二陳冠合、商學院國際經營與貿易學系廖映佳及經濟系劉順勇三位同學分別進入兩組隊伍，其中陳冠合與廖映佳同學所屬的My Fit團隊，利用3D測量技術為使用者測量腳部尺寸，此舉大大降低線上購買的退貨率，獲頒「最佳技術實踐獎」，是等同於亞軍之獎項。該設計幫助adidas構思新商業模式，會後立即受到adidas產品開發部門關注，後續洽談合作模式中。

而劉順勇同學所屬的Fairy Trail隊友們，則是利用機器學習和自然語言處理等技術，協助紐倫堡展覽中心進行參展商和參訪者的配對，縮短參訪時間並同時增加參訪人數。

三位學生都表示，很開心有出國參賽的機會，謝謝校內創能學院、商學院、資訊電機學院的支持與補助。此外，尤其感謝資訊工程學系薛念林主任、商學院全球村商管教育與產學推廣服務中心梁馨予主任及AACSB國際認證與商管教育創新辦公室江宜芳主任，在賽前進行培訓並帶隊指導，協助學生與不同國籍、不同專業領域之隊員共事，拓展國際觀，更透過與企業共同解決問題，創造了更多的可能。

逢甲大學與福壽實業10月1日進行人才培育計畫簽約儀式，福壽實業加入商學院「6+1+1校園種子計畫」，期盼共同促成大學部與碩士班全職實習生的合作。

福壽實業不但是上市櫃食品業公司，更是百年家族企業，第三代家族成員洪堯昆董事長不僅將食品安全擺在第一位，也鼓勵高階主管每年出國考察，更積極將國際最新科技導入福壽集團，例如斥資千萬導入人工智慧與智慧營運，並於新北市五股區成立AI辦公室。今年度委託本校全球村服務中心，規劃「人工智慧與管理實務」推廣課程專班，針對福壽實業所篩選之40位AI種子員工，進行在職教育訓練。

福壽實業「6+1+1校園種子計畫」首場演講在簽約當日登場，洪董事長暢談百年企業永續經營與農糧循環經濟，讓與會的合經系、企管系、土管系學生認識食品產業與企業。此外，福壽實業人資處顏隨香課長也介紹該公司人才培育制度與組職，學生也藉此機會了解職場環境。

逢甲大學李秉乾校長、唐國豪秘書長、商學院江向才院長、合經系吳肇展主任、企管系黃誠甫主任、全球村商管教育中心梁馨予主任等人，也積極與福壽實業主管討論雙方合作方向，期待逢甲大學能與福壽實業共創下一個百年。

逢甲大學商學院為了讓學生在學期間就能認識企業，並有機會與人資主管互動，規劃企業深化校園之「6+1+1校園種子活動」，並獲得信義房屋率先響應，本校全球村服務中心也將協助信義房屋，針對其企業文化與經營理念舉辦相關活動，讓學生接軌職場趨勢。

本校與信義房屋在今年二月已簽訂校級產學聯盟合約，開啟「信義房屋校園種子」合作案，迄今舉辦過領袖茶會、企業說明會、馬來西亞學生相見歡、企業參訪、不動產業之人才培育與發展演講、104人力銀行應屆畢業生求職必勝講座、贊助營業員證照推廣專班辦學等活動，拉近企業與學生間之距離。如今再持續深化合作，讓學生獲得更完整的教育與實習資源。

此外，信義房屋也加入本校創能學院的商學院LAB聯盟廠商，並歡迎學生參加「2019信義集團創意提案爭霸賽」，透過產學合作共同培育下一代職場新力軍。對信義房屋校園種子計畫有興趣的學生，可關注全球村服務中心臉書專頁：https://www.facebook.com/FCU.GV。對2019信義集團創意提案爭霸賽有興趣的學生，也可至活動網站了解詳情http://www.tims.org.tw/content3.asp?id=2。
