APEC IIED｜Certificate of Participation in Youth Training and Forums
The APEC Institute of Innovation & Education Development (APEC IIED)
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) was established in 1989, chaired by Australian Prime Minister Robert Hawke, to become the primary economic forum for the Asia-Pacific region. It facilitates dialogue among government officials from all Asia-Pacific economies to promote economic growth and development in the region.
Recognizing Taiwan’s longstanding efforts and successes in human resources and education development projects within the APEC region, the APEC Institute of Innovation & Education Development (APEC IIED) was established in 2021. Its purpose is to accelerate innovative educational cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and strengthen partnerships with major international organizations to cultivate talent adapted to the digital era. APEC IIED also serves as Taiwan’s dedicated unit in the APEC Human Resources Development Working Group – Education Network (HRD-EDNET).

Challenges and Struggles
- The participants’ certificates need to be provided in multiple languages, which requires a lot of manpower during the distribution
APEC IIED often organizes Asia-Pacific international forums focusing on innovative education and talent development issues. Participants typically come from over 10 APEC member economies. The forums are held frequently, and after each forum, certificates in both Chinese and English are needed. This process demands a significant amount of manpower for printing and mailing, making the handling procedures cumbersome.
- APEC promotes paperless initiatives
Due to APEC’s active advocacy for implementing paperless strategies aimed at advancing digital transformation and enhancing economic efficiency, we are also seeking solutions that align with paperless requirements in our operational systems.
