NATEA (The North America Taiwanese Engineering & Science Association), a non-profit and tax-deductible professional organization, was founded by a group of engineers and scientists on March 2, 1991 in Silicon Valley. Since then, NATEA has grown our community with over 3,000 members along with 13 regional chapters.  We continue to see strong momentum both in our Silicon Valley community as well as other regional chapter cities in North America.

NATEA’s major aim is to promote science and technology research, development and their applications, and to provide management and leadership training opportunities for overseas Taiwanese in the U.S. and Canada, and their community at large. NATEA members are a group of engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs of Taiwanese descent who aspire to promote technology innovations, networking, and business opportunities between Taiwan and the U.S. The Association serves its members and their communities in different technical and social gatherings, and periodically holds a variety of annual technological conferences, workshops, seminars that are either independently managed by regional chapters or by collaborating with local mainstream professional organizations like IEEE.

The growth in our membership is fueled by an aggressive outreach campaign with next generation young talents who are pursuing science and engineering careers as well as strong community building and bondages with other like-minded non-profit organizations.
