Founded as a Social Enterprise with People at Its Core

TICA was established in accordance with the principles of a social enterprise, with these values embedded within both its corporate charter and operating model. Its long-term vision is to create meaningful social impact while ensuring sustainable business development, continually putting corporate social responsibility and social value into practice.

Four Core Values

Co-Creation &
Cross-sector
Collaboration

Bringing together citizens, industries and institutions to build partnerships that co-develop practical solutions across sectors.

A Healthy &
Longevous Society

Cultivating a shared vision for health and longevity by reshaping how communities understand, pursue and sustain long-term wellbeing.

Policy, Industry &
Research Innovation

Driving innovation across policy, industry and academia while nurturing research and ideas that advance the health and longevity field.

Diversity, Inclusion &
Global Engagement

Promoting inclusive participation across communities and strengthening international connections that expand collective impact on the global stage.

Three Strategic Pillars

Awareness

Community

Action

Visibility & Public Awareness

Meaningful social change begins when ideas reach people. Visibility and public awareness are therefore not simply communication objectives, but the foundation upon which lasting impact is built. To strengthen public engagement, TICA has appointed Chairman Dr Ching-Fu Lin as its ambassador and established official channels on LINE, Facebook and YouTube, creating accessible platforms for communication, engagement and meaningful dialogue with the wider community.

Our Services

TICA has established formal partnerships with ten universities across Taiwan, forming the Pioneer University Alliance for Longevity. The TICA Voice digital platform is now live, working alongside academic institutions to support health and longevity initiatives. By gathering insights and listening to the needs of communities across Taiwan, the platform gives citizens a real place in shaping innovation and research.

TICA provides professional expertise, bringing AI tools and customized methodologies to support organisations in advancing innovation and transformation within the health and longevity sector. We help organisations understand emerging trends, identify opportunities and create sustainable value. Organisations that share our vision are welcome to join TICA as corporate members and contribute to the development of a healthier and more sustainable society.

TICA introduces the City of Longevity Digital Toolkit, developed by the UK’s National Innovation Centre Ageing, helping cities uncover their unique strengths and connect with global networks of knowledge and resources. Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan and Kaohsiung have begun engaging with international longevity city frameworks, demonstrating how cities can advance towards healthier and more sustainable longevity-focused communities.
