By leveraging our global network, we bridge gaps between ecosystems and strengthen global initiatives.
Long-term Engagements
Our long-term engagements involve creating sustained impact through initiatives that foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and ecosystem building over time.
​
One example is the Taiwan Science & Technology Hub at Stanford University, which Cria helped establish as the first office of its kind on a Tier 1 U.S. university campus. Laura Smoliar serves as the inaugural Executive Director, guiding the Hub in fostering connections between Taiwan and the U.S. in science and technology. The Hub has hosted high-profile events, supported postdoctoral scholars across diverse disciplines, sponsored cross-border speaker engagements, and served as a vital landing pad for delegations and visitors. These efforts have reached thousands, facilitating meaningful exchanges and advancing innovation across borders.
