Inventec's vision is to develop cutting-edge digital technologies that are sustainable for people and the environment, and to apply them in a variety of fields to drive change in the world. In the same vein, the purpose of Fu-Jen Catholic University is to dedicate itself to academic research and the promotion of truth in the spirit of Christian fraternity, to promote the sustainable and balanced development of society, and to enhance the well-being of human society, so as to achieve the ideal of the unity of knowing people, things and heaven. Both are focusing on people and the environment in a rapidly changing era, looking for sustainable and social impact.

Inventec is optimistic about the long-term development trend of digital virtual and real integration, focusing on the development of forward-looking metaverse applications to help various industries achieve "industrial digital intelligence". The cooperation with the College of FASHION & TEXTILES of Fu-Jen Catholic University hopes to further expand the industrial link between fashion and digital technology, among which, the College of FASHION & TEXTILES, Fu-Jen Catholic University has been cultivating outstanding fashion design students for a long time, and hopes to further expand the "VRSTATE FasVerse" and the design works of students of the College of FASHION & TEXTILES to be exhibited at COMPUTEX Taipei, so as to promote the application of digital clothing in the metaverse field and build a business model. The fashion industry has always been known for its taste and beauty, and it often takes a lot of money to create stunning clothes. In the future, low-income students also hope to let their dreams and creativity run wild through digital fashion works, without worrying and being restricted. Addressing inequalities caused by poverty through the empowerment of science and technology is also one of the visions of this collaboration. At the same time, the Inventec Metaverse team was moved and admired by the humanistic and educational mission of the Chinese Fashion Culture Center founded by Sister Romeri of the College of FASHION & TEXTILES, and looked forward to cooperating to promote the "digital application and preservation and development of cultural relics and clothing collected by the Institute of Textiles and Fashion" through the efforts of digital wisdom and metaverse applications, so as to make culture sustainable.

In addition, the College of FASHION & TEXTILES of Fu-Jen Catholic University is the only fashion fabric and fashion design school in China, aiming to cultivate professional, international, humanistic and socially caring talents, and is also one of the few institutions in the field of art that has been implemented by the Ministry of Education's "Bilingual Learning Program for Tertiary Institutions (BEST)". One of the major challenges is the development of English curriculum materials for multilingual students. Inventec Metaverse Technology Department hopes that through the "VRSTATE Hall - virtual human speech AI automatic generation video service system Multilingual teaching platform", teachers can no longer have trouble preparing multilingual teaching materials and students no longer have difficulty learning, and provide software and hardware integration solutions through AI products that can be implemented, jointly expand the international education influence of Taiwan's fashion and students' mobility and learning ability, and achieve the important mission of "industrial digital intelligence".

In 2025, on the occasion of the centennial celebration of Fu-Jen Catholic University, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Inventec, and the 55th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of Textiles and Apparel of the College of FASHION & TEXTILES, President Lan Yizhen of Fu-Jen University proposed the concept of "GRACE" to lead the University to strengthen international cooperation, stabilize domestic students, reposition globally, strengthen industry-university-research cooperation, and diversify finance, and integrate education with enterprises, government and society; In order to look forward to the future of the University, and make good use of its international education to connect with the mainstream society, and enhance the visibility of the University and Taiwan. Although the cooperation with Inventec was first combined with the College of FASHION & TEXTILES, President Lan believes that the other 11 colleges of Fu-Jen Catholic University and the hospital affiliated to Fu-Jen Catholic University have room for "industrial AI" cooperation.

Chiu Chaucer pointed out that Inventec can build a metaverse digital economic circle with core technologies such as generative AI, digital twins, and multimodal human-computer interaction, which can integrate education, fashion, cultural creativity and other fields. By digitizing the technology of physical products, in addition to having a suitable new tool for international enrollment in the face of multilingual needs, it can also train Fu-Jen Catholic University to establish a seed faculty group for the metaverse digital economy circle with the assistance of Inventec engineers, so as to further promote the empowerment of science and technology, so as to cultivate more talents in the "digital intelligence industrialization".
