Fubon Asset Management Partners With Three Universities to Cultivate Finance Talent

Rapid advances in fintech and big data are creating transformation challenges for the asset management industry. Fubon Asset Management, which manages NT$1.55 trillion in assets, sees an urgent market need for professionals with expertise spanning fintech and data analytics. The industry-academia partnership aims to combine business experience with academic resources, narrow the gap between education and workplace needs, and give students earlier exposure to the financial sector. The initiative is important to the development of Taiwan’s fintech ecosystem and is intended to cultivate talent with both financial and technological expertise.

Fubon Asset Management and the Department of Information and Finance Management at National Taipei University of Technology formally signed an industry-academia cooperation agreement on July 13, 2026. The two sides plan to establish a long-term collaboration platform offering Taipei Tech students internships in core areas including investment research and fintech. No specific contract value was disclosed. The internship program will use a mentorship model, with senior executives personally guiding students on projects, and could begin training its first cohort of cross-disciplinary talent as early as the summer of 2026.
