In line with the government's promotion of the 5+2 Innovative Industry Development Policy, Lunghwa has been selected as a demonstration base for the industry elite training of the Ministry of Education. It is the only private university of science and technology in Taiwan that has established a "3D Digital Circuit Board Design and Smart Manufacturing Line Factory" and a "(5G) Mobile Communication Module Testing and Calibration Industry Environment Factory." In addition, the university is establishing a "High-Speed Transmission Interface Electronic Assembly Design and Talent Testing and Technology Cultivation Base" and semiconductor laboratories. Through synchronous production line practical fields in collaboration with the information and communication technology industry, Lunghwa actively promotes industry-academia collaboration, allowing students to focus on the demands of the 5G industry and becoming a key talent-cultivating hub for the 5+2 critical industries.

To cultivate talents in domestic semiconductor process and packaging testing technology, Lunghwa became the first private university of science and technology to receive approval from the Ministry of Education to establish a Semiconductor Engineering Department, starting in the academic year 2023. It is also the first university to have a teaching center for a complete semiconductor device production line, offering courses and practical programs in the manufacturing process, packaging, and testing, actively nurturing semiconductor professionals. In response to digital development strategies and industry transformation needs in Taiwan, the Department of International Business Administration officially changed its name to the Department of Digital Marketing and Cross-border Business, starting in the academic year 2023. Through collaboration with chambers of commerce and industry, the department integrates cross-border e-commerce community network resources, providing students with the necessary expertise and skills for future needs and cultivating interdisciplinary talents who possess local care, global perspectives, and teamwork abilities in digital marketing and cross-border business operations.

President Ko stressed that, in addition to developing distinctive strengths and closely linking with industries, the booming development of AI intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) in recent years has prompted Lunghwa to utilize digital technologies such as AI and cloud computing for innovative teaching. This includes creating a smart campus and borderless classrooms, allowing students to experience early applications of AI technology and lifestyle in the AI era. This enhances their interdisciplinary innovation and future workplace skills and trains them to become the most sought-after talents in the future society, ultimately achieving the goal of "finding the future for students and finding talents for jobs."
