In 2000, Mr. Hsieh Hsin- Ming felt that the main axis of TIPPA is limited to Taiwan. With a vision to gain access in the international stage, he dedicated his time and effort to gather transnational forces to put his vision at work.
Fueled with a vibrant ideology, he continued to open doors of opportunities for young and talented inventors to a global level and thrived on gaining international attention for the establishment of WIIPA as a multinational organization.
From 2020, the president of WIIPA will be succeeded by Ms. Manli Hsieh. She will provide WIIPA with a permanent base. In the future, the headquarter will be shared with partners from various member states as a place for negotiation and meetings. The space is bright and spacious. The plan includes office area, meeting rooms, function room, a studio for interview and videography etc. It will have different functional parts suitable for a smooth flow of communication.
