Taiwan\u2019s National Development Council (NDC) Minister, Liu Chin-ching, led a delegation of nearly fifty startups to Tokyo on Tuesday, 17 September, for the Japan-Taiwan Innovation Summit, aiming to enhance industrial cooperation between the two nations. The two-day summit, co-hosted for the first time by Taiwan alongside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, welcomed over 100 companies from both Taiwan and Japan, according to a press release.<\/p>\n
Minister Liu explained that the summit forms part of the NDC\u2019s \u201cBridge\u201d project, designed to strengthen Taiwan\u2019s global industry connections. He reportedly shared plans to establish a hub in Tokyo that would serve as a platform for exchanges between Taiwanese and Japanese businesses and investment institutions. The project seeks to foster a global ecosystem, enabling industries from Taiwan to collaborate internationally.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s summit, larger than previous editions, placed a significant focus on industrial innovation, with an emphasis on Japan\u2019s semiconductor supply chain. Attendees from Taiwan and Japan participated in discussions spanning diverse sectors, including artificial intelligence, biomedicine, cybersecurity, and defence. The aim was to connect Taiwanese startups with Japanese investors and boost industrial cooperation.<\/p>\n
Minister Liu also expressed gratitude towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for its support, reportedly emphasising hopes of advancing collaboration between the two nations. He encouraged participants to embrace the summit\u2019s motto, \u201cTogether, Go Big,\u201d as a driving force for further innovation.<\/p>\n
With the growing importance of the semiconductor sector and cross-border collaborations, the summit highlights Taiwan\u2019s commitment to fostering technological advancements while expanding its industrial footprint on the global stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
