5/29-6/2 歐盟創新週系列活動開跑

解封後第一場, 臺灣─歐盟創新聯結活動

隨著世界從疫情中復甦,歐盟即將於五月二十九月起至六月二日舉辦第三屆創新週活動。歐盟創新週將與亞洲最大的資通訊展覽 COMPUTEX 2023和InnoVEX同期舉行。來自歐盟的企業和十一個產業聚落 (相當於臺灣的產業工公協會),預計超過一百人的歐盟代表團,將來台灣參加歐盟創新週活動,並與台灣產業界交流歐洲產業的重要創新發展。

歐洲經貿辦事處高哲夫處長強調: 「臺歐雙方擁有共同價值,以及對綠色和永續未來的共同願景,歐盟創新週將深入發掘歐盟與臺灣之間的合作機會。」

歐盟創新週以資通訊科技、綠色轉型及人才庫為主軸,共為期五天,在臺北、桃園及台中舉辦多項活動,包括十多場與產業創新相關的研討會、產業聚落與企業交流,以及企業參訪等。主題涵蓋歐洲領先的創新領域,包括資源循環、氫能、太空、半導體、6G、和機器人等。

除了研討會外,透過歐洲經貿網(Enterprise Europe Network, EEN)、歐盟產業聚落合作平台(ECCP)、中華民國對外貿易發展協會,以及中華民國全國工業總會的安排,創新週還將針對臺灣和歐洲的企業及產業聚落,舉辦商機媒合活動。臺灣外貿協會已於2015年加入歐洲經貿網,成為歐洲經貿網在世界六十餘個重要據點之一。五月三十一日在台北南港展覽館二館進行的這項臺歐商機媒合活動,將由貿協主導規畫,可望促進臺歐盟中小企業及產業聚落的交流,並且增進臺歐商業發展和合作機會。

另外,來自歐盟十個會員國的十一個不同產業聚落,如資通訊、半導體、數位科技、機器人、AI、智慧城市、智慧製造等產業聚落代表,也將來臺參與歐盟創新週的活動。這是疫情解封後,歐洲的產業聚落代表首次訪臺。在國貿局和工總的協助安排下,他們將和臺灣產業公工協會代表,一起探討臺歐未來可能的產業、貿易和投資合作機會。
