2030:Accelerating the Transition to a SMART TAIWAN in the post COVID-19

科技部長吳政忠專題演講：後疫時代加速台灣2030邁向智慧國家

 Dr. Wu Tsung-tsong, Minister of Science and Technology (MOST)
科技部長 吳政忠博士

While Taiwan’s economy suffered some minor impact from the coronavirus pandemic in the first half of the year, the robust performance of companies in the ICT sector have helped to offset the damage and keep the economy buoyant. Taiwan’s export orders posted another record high in September 2020 and industrial production growth has been positive for eight consecutive months. Meanwhile, foreign and returning Taiwanese investments continue to pour into Taiwan given the government’s excellent handling of the pandemic and attractive incentives. Many of these investments are in advanced technology facilities including green energy, 5G, AI, smart health, and biotech.

Several of Taiwan’s global corporations have not only increased these investments, but also committed to net zero carbon emissions and are especially investing heavily in renewable energy to reach the goals. This will give added impetus to the development of the renewable energy sector in Taiwan.

The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) is responsible for the promotion of national science and technology development, provides support for academic research and developing Taiwan’s science parks.

At this event, our guest speaker will give an update of the MOST’s six new areas of focus, future policy direction and how foreign investors can benefit from Taiwan’s unique science and technology ecosystem. Meanwhile, he will outline his vision for the island’s tech sector, developing Taiwan into a “sustainable human-centric smart nation.”

This event is open to all ECCT members (ECCT members please register the lunch HERE) and will be held after the ECCT LCI’s 2020 Annual Meeting.
