Named after Monte Jade, the highest mountain in Taiwan, the Monte Jade Science and Technology Association, West Coast ("Monte Jade") was established by a group of high-tech Chinese-American executives in Silicon Valley in 1989. Their initial driving force was to bring together the high-tech experts from the Bay Area and the other side of Pacific. "Monte Jade" was chosen to signify cross-cultural and technological foresight and excellence of the highest level. Monte Jade, incorporated as a non-profit organization in the State of California, held its opening ceremony in San Jose, California, on February 4, 1990.
