To address these critical issues, ABRI is implementing the “Digital Gerontechnology Product and Service Residential Validation and Methodology Development Project,” under which two “Value Proposition Workshops” will be held in Taipei and Taichung on April 17 and 22, respectively. The workshops will be led by the experienced professional team from the iNSIGHT Center, NTU. Adopting a participatory co-creation approach, the workshops will incorporate design thinking methodologies to help enterprises reassess product positioning and market strategies, clarify core value propositions, and enhance both product strength and market competitiveness.

The workshop will be led by Calvin Lai, Strategy Director of the iNSIGHT Center, NTU, with support from a team of teaching assistants providing guided, hands-on facilitation. Participants will engage in the practical application of three classic business strategy tools. Through a systematic process, enterprises will be able to comprehensively map out key stakeholders, gain deeper insights into how different roles influence product success, and accurately align product offerings with target user needs and pain points. This process will further refine the value and benefits delivered by their products. Ultimately, participants will develop a concise and compelling value proposition statement, enabling clearer product positioning and stronger differentiation in the competitive gerontechnology market.

For digital gerontechnology enterprises facing challenges such as unclear product positioning, undefined target markets, or a lack of real-world validation settings, this workshop offers a valuable opportunity to rethink product strategies through guided practice. By starting from user needs, participants can develop more relevant, feasible, and impactful gerontechnology solutions. Registration is now open, and all interested enterprises are warmly invited to join.

According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior’s Real Estate Information Platform for the first quarter of 2025, the average housing age nationwide has reached 33.23 years, with more than 55% of residential buildings over 30 years old. These figures reveal that many older adults live in environments that no longer fully meet safety and functional requirements, potentially hindering daily mobility and social interaction.

To address this pressing issue, the Architecture and Building Research Institute (ABRI), Ministry of the Interior, organized the Academic Symposium on Integrating Design of Healthy Aging Residential Spaces and Assistive Devices on the afternoon of August 27, 2025, at the 15th-floor International Conference Hall of the Dapinglin Joint Development Building. The event invited several domestic and international experts to share their insights, including Ms. Yoshiko Shimomoto, President of the Natural Heartful Care Network (Japan), who delivered a keynote lecture titled “Care and Spatial Facilities: The Development of Japan’s Medical and Welfare System.” Other presentations included Mr. Tsai Chun-Ming, General Manager, on “Planning for Residential Infrastructure and Assistive Devices in a Super-Aged Society,” and Professor Li Tung-Ming on “Integrating Design of Healthy Aging Residential Spaces and Assistive Devices.” A panel discussion followed, engaging multiple scholars and specialists in in-depth exchanges.

The symposium attracted approximately 230 participants, generating lively discussions and sparking innovative ideas and practical strategies. The event was met with enthusiastic recognition from attendees and concluded successfully amid active exchanges and warm applause.

NIA stated that this year's Dragon Boat Festival multicultural program combined emotions and knowledge. NIA also urged new immigrants and foreign migrant workers not to bring or purchase meat products from areas affected by swine fever to Taiwan, as they could face fines of up to 1 million New Taiwan Dollars. To assist foreign nationals who have overstayed their residence permits in Taiwan in safely returning to their home countries as soon as possible, NIA has implemented the 'Voluntary Appearance Program for Expanding the Scope of Overstayed Foreign Nationals' from February 1 to June 30 this year. During the program, those who voluntarily appear to authorities will be treated with leniency, including exempting them from detention, imposing a minimum fine of 2,000 New Taiwan Dollars for overstaying, and providing preferential measures such as not prohibiting re-entry. These measures aim to encourage overstayed foreign nationals to voluntarily appear. For related inquiries, please call the toll-free hotline 0800-024-881.
