Acer Foundation

Founded in July 1996, the Acer Foundation was established through donations from personnel of various departments throughout the company. Acer Foundation's mission is threefold: research and develop technology and management; cultivate talents; and reward and promote service.

Acer upholds the concept that "embracing technology allows us to widen our horizons." Acer Foundation believes the key to working together toward an international alliance of wisdom requires a long period of cultivation, drawing on the strengths of all disciplines to develop scientific knowledge and train talented professionals. Internally, through public welfare and cultivation of talents, we aspire to help society prosper, raise the standards of academic research and accelerate the establishment of Taiwan as a technology island. Externally, we adopt a cosmopolitan view in hopes of fostering international talents and strengthening international cooperation and exchange to promote global economic prosperity. Here's a closer look at the three missions of Acer Foundation:

Research and develop technology and management: through cooperation and international exchange between industry and academia, we aim to upgrade production, enhance international competitiveness of corporate Taiwan, and promote Taiwan's experience on the international stage.

Cultivating talents:we have established two personnel training centers - Aspire Academy and IC Design Academy. These institutions integrate many years of Acer Group's accumulated experience in business management and information technology, and introduce first-rate management courses and teachers from the E.U. and U.S. On the one hand, these academies provide long-term training to personnel required for corporate internationalization in the Asia region. On the other hand, they provide an opportunity to cultivate the talents of E.U. and U.S. region corporate personnel dispatched to the Asia Pacific region.

Reward and promote service:we promote public welfare activities by rewarding academic or corporate research in information technology and business management. We realize long-term rewards and promotion of deeds that comply with Acer Foundation objectives are necessary to broaden the effects on society.
