LinkedIn Headquarters made its first-ever Asia visit, commencing a bilateral dialogue and future collaborations with National Taiwan University (NTU).
Led by LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue, Editor-in-Chief Dan Roth, and General Manager (HK&Taiwan) Mei Mei Ng, a delegation of approximately 30 individuals from the headquarters and Greater China office embarked on their inaugural Asia trip. Among their trip in Taiwan and Japan, NTU was the sole university selected for a visit.
NTU VP for International Affairs Prof. Hsiao-Wei Yuan, accompanied by renowned professors from the College of Social Sciences, including the Departments of Economics and Political Science, welcomed the delegation. VP Yuan emphasized that both NTU and LinkedIn place great importance on talent development and skill enhancement. Beyond academic and educational collaborations, the two institutions successfully partnered at NTU’s Career Fair in March, jointly promoting the LinkedIn platform. Future collaborations are expected to deepen.
Dan Roth, Editor-in-Chief of LinkedIn, expressed the delegation’s enthusiasm for engaging with NTU’s political science and economics scholars and partners. Through local dialogues, the team aims to strengthen the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of future industry trends.
Prof. Ming-Jen Lin, Associate Director of the Provisional Office of the School of Political Science and Economics and Distinguished Professor of the Department of Economics, provided the delegation with an overview of Taiwan’s economic development within the global supply chain, the evolving political and economic landscape, as well as the associated opportunities and challenges. He also highlighted the rationale behind NTU’s establishment of the Graduate Institute of International Political Economy to cultivate experts in these fields.
Sharing a common vision for talent development and industrial advancement, NTU and LinkedIn will continue to work together to contribute to global talent cultivation.
