The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI; Chinese: 工業技術硏究院; pinyin: Gōngyè Jìshù Yánjiù Yuàn) is a technology research and development institution in Taiwan.[1] It was founded in 1973 and is headquartered in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, with branch offices in the U.S., Europe,[2] and Japan.

Since 1973, ITRI has been a significant driver of Taiwan's economy, especially its tech industry,[3] having contributed to moving Taiwan's industries from labor-intensive to innovation-driven. Its open lab and incubator have fostered emerging industries and startups including UMC and TSMC.

In 2020, ITRI launched the 2030 Technology Strategy & Roadmap, which focuses on the development of technology to meet industrial and societal needs by working with domestic and international partners in academia, industry, and the government.[4]
