bella@@ 央廣 新聞3h agoEdited
The American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan (AmCham Taiwan) released its "2026 Taiwan White Paper" today (16th), addressing topics such as drone cooperation, energy resilience, artificial intelligence (AI) development, and talent policy. Joseph Wu, Minister of the National Development Council (NDC), representing the government, accepted the white paper and stated that Taiwan and the US have become important partners in jointly maintaining economic security and the resilience of non-red supply chains. The government will continue to cooperate with the Chamber and the industry to enhance Taiwan's competitiveness and investment environment.
Regarding the energy issues of concern to AmCham, Wu stated that energy resilience is no longer just a power supply issue, but is closely related to national security, industrial competitiveness, and economic resilience. The government has completed an energy supply inventory to ensure overall power supply stability before 2032. Through the second energy transition, it is promoting four major pillars: diversified green energy development, deep energy conservation, energy storage construction, and grid enhancement, to build an autonomous, low-carbon, and stable energy system.
Wu pointed out that Taiwan holds a key position in the global AI supply chain, leveraging its complete semiconductor ecosystem and advantages in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. The government is currently promoting the "AI New Ten Major Constructions," investing in R&D for key technologies such as quantum technology, silicon photonics, and robotics. It has also completed the legislation of the "Artificial Intelligence Basic Act" and established the National AI Strategy Committee, aiming to further develop Taiwan from an AI hardware manufacturing base into an important global partner for AI solutions.
Wu also mentioned that at the beginning of this year, Taiwan and the US signed the Agreement Regarding Trade in Goods (ART) and established a cooperation mechanism for high-tech supply chains through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on investment cooperation, symbolizing a new phase of institutionalized cooperation between the two sides. The NDC has also launched the "Credit Guarantee Mechanism for Taiwanese Enterprises Investing in the U.S." to assist Taiwanese companies in expanding into the US market and supply chains, further deepening the bilateral investment partnership.
Wu emphasized that the government highly values the suggestions proposed in the white paper by AmCham Taiwan every year. In the future, it will continue to maintain close cooperation with relevant ministries and the Chamber to promote regulatory modernization, talent recruitment, and industrial upgrading, and further deepen Taiwan-US economic, trade, and technological cooperation.
