CzechInvest has announced the opening of a new office in Taiwan to enhance cooperation between the island and Czechia. This marks CzechInvest's third office in Asia, further strengthening its presence in the region.
Strengthening Trade and Technological Development
The establishment of the Taiwan office is a strategic move to bolster mutual trade relations and advance the technological capabilities of Czech companies. Minister of Industry and Trade, Jozef Síkela, highlights the potential for collaboration, particularly in the semiconductor sector, which is crucial for automotive, industrial, energy, and automation applications. He notes that this new office will support research and education projects related to chip development and facilitate connections between companies and universities.
Promoting Czechia and Fostering Innovation
Jan Michal, CEO of CzechInvest, emphasizes the importance of the new office in promoting Czechia and attracting high-tech investors. Taiwan, a global leader in advanced chip production, offers significant opportunities for synergies with Czech companies in innovation and research. The Taipei office will play a key role in promoting Czech startups, fostering partnerships, and facilitating the transfer of knowledge and expertise.
Expanding Technological Cooperation
The cooperation between Czechia and Taiwan is increasingly vital as the demand for experts grows and the need for effective knowledge transfer intensifies. Taiwan's technological prowess, especially in semiconductors, presents a unique opportunity for Czech hardware and software manufacturers. Matouš Kostlivý, CzechInvest’s representative in Taipei, underscores the goal of raising awareness about Czechia’s strengths in AI and software development, and enhancing connections between innovative companies and institutions in both regions.
Supporting Czech Innovations and Technologies
CzechInvest, in collaboration with the Czech Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, will support Czech innovations and technologies through various events. In 2024, the Czech flag will be prominently featured at major trade fairs such as CYBERSEC, Meet Taipei for startups, and Semicon Taiwan 2024. CzechInvest plans to organize several investment seminars and host an incoming mission of Taiwanese investors, companies, and scientists to Czechia. The agency will also actively coordinate and support partnerships between Czech and Taiwanese entities.
Benefits and Opportunities for Both Parties
The opening of the new office in Taiwan is poised to bring significant benefits and opportunities for both Czechia and Taiwan, enhancing technological and economic development through strengthened bilateral cooperation.
