The MOEA's "Women in Entrepreneurship Award" is the most representative award for female entrepreneurship in Taiwan, aiming to honor women entrepreneurs and their outstanding teams who demonstrate innovative thinking, market potential, and social influence. Holding a Ph.D. in Resources Engineering from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Dr. Yamin Hsieh possesses both profound academic R&D strength and acute market insight. The panel of judges highly commended her for leveraging the unique meticulous insight, inclusiveness, and communicative resilience of a female leader to establish "Seeing Value, Integrating Strengths, and Realizing Impact" as the company's core management philosophy. Guided by her leadership, Transcene implements the urban mining mindset that "Waste is a Mine," breaking traditional waste disposal paradigms. Transcene pioneered specialized resource processing technology for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) sludge from semiconductor manufacturing processes, transforming industrial waste into high-purity recycled crystalline silica powder and recycled spherical silica, successfully obtaining UL 2809 100% Recycled Content validation and carbon footprint certification.
Throughout her entrepreneurial journey in the technology sector and manufacturing industry, Dr. Yamin Hsieh has demonstrated strong corporate management resilience and strategic vision. She not only led Transcene to a successful listing on the Taiwan Innovation Board of the Taiwan Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 6969) and established an inclusive, diverse workplace with female directors accounting for 40% of the board, but also actively connected cross-industry resource recycling across semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, and steelmaking industries, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of industrial raw material development. In response to the global wave of low-carbon transition, she has further driven solar waste panel recycling and turn-key technology export plans overseas, showcasing the ultimate influence of female entrepreneurial elites in technology application, commercial implementation, and international market expansion.

In the future, Transcene will continue to take urban mining as its core development pillar, deepening waste resource recycling, recycled material manufacturing, and high-value application technologies, while actively expanding the applications of circular materials in electronics, industrial, and consumer product sectors. Transcene believes that waste should not be a burden after industrial development, but a key resource for the next stage of industrial innovation. The company will continue to connect the industrial value chain through technological innovation, leveraging the exemplary and leading role of female entrepreneurial elites to make resource circulation the driving force for corporate sustainable development, advancing steadily toward the 2050 Net-Zero Transition and Zero-Waste vision.
