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.
Targeted Projects
Our targeted engagements focus on delivering impactful outcomes within a defined timeframe.
One example was the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign NSF AccelCorps Pilot Program, which guided early-stage entrepreneurial teams through critical aspects of launching a business.
