The 9th Compassionate Technology Innovation Competition

Hosted by the Tzu Chi Foundation, the 9th National Compassionate Technology Innovation Competition held its final round and award ceremony on October 18. This year, young innovators showcased their belief that “technology can also be full of love” through creativity and action.

After rigorous evaluation by experts from industry, government, and academia, 12 college teams and 8 high school/vocational teams advanced to the finals. Their projects spanned diverse fields including medical care, disaster relief, environmental sustainability, and humanistic concern.

More than a competition of innovation, this event was a journey of compassion and inspiration—where youth applied technology to meet real human needs, transforming innovation into an extension of compassion. With warmth infused into technology, their creations illuminate hope and nurture society, contributing to a sustainable future for both humanity and the Earth.
