為呼應目前全球AI、IoT、大數據的科技浪潮在傳統農業掀起智慧革命，本校近年來新建「智慧農業中心為永續農業研究基地」、「永續研發中心納入再生能源與數位科技」、「大數據科技研發中心進行大數據研究」、「智慧農業創新微型園區進行學研成果實踐」等中心，積極培育學生跨領域專業能力，以與產業接軌；此外為應聯合國永續發展目標，達成全球淨零碳排的競合，將永續的內涵納入治校理念，以培育未來精通世界碳權專業的人才。

In response to the global technological wave of AI, IoT, and big data revolutionizing traditional agriculture, NPUST has recently established several research centers, including the Smart Agriculture Center as a base for sustainable agricultural research, the Sustainable R&D Center integrating renewable energy and digital technology, the Big Data Technology R&D Center for big data research, and the Smart Agriculture Innovation Micro-Park for the practical application of academic and research achievements. These initiatives aim to cultivate students’ interdisciplinary expertise and align education with industry needs.

Furthermore, to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and contribute to the global net-zero carbon transition, the university has incorporated sustainability principles into its governance strategy, fostering future professionals with expertise in global carbon credit markets.
