The ADOC project is a self-funded multi-year Economic and Technical Cooperation (ECOTECH) initiative that Chinese Taipei first raised at the 2003 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting. It aims to assist in transforming digital divides into digital opportunities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The first phase of the ADOC project was launched in August 2004 and was concluded at the end of 2008. The second phase ADOC project, ADOC 2.0 project, was proposed during the 2007 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and launched in 2009 by Chinese Taipei.

The intention of setting up ADOC Digital Opportunity Center is to help less information-developed APEC nations to reduce the digital divide, preventing the people from the limitation of sex , academic performance, social status and the extent of digitalization; to achieve the goal of  ”Anytime、Anyone、Anywhere、Anything” and promoting ADOC as the digital resource center.
