OAC held the “Ocean Technology Program Results Presentation” on December 22, 2025, in Conference Room 305 at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center. The event brought together participating teams from government, industry, academia, and research institutions involved in the program over the years, along with nearly 200 researchers and application units. Through two keynote speeches and 28 presentations, the event showcased Taiwan’s latest achievements in maritime security, smart monitoring, sensing technologies, pollution control, marine conservation technologies, and autonomous surface and underwater vehicles. These efforts contribute to strengthening Taiwan’s Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and building a comprehensive maritime governance technology chain, leveraging technology to reinforce the foundations for a secure, sustainable, and prosperous ocean.
