Show Details

Mr. Frank Wu, Secretary General of CIECA and Mr. Tito Tang, Director of CIECA led colleagues from the European Department to visit with Mr. Axel Limberg, Executive Director of German Trade Office in Taipei and Ms. Linda Blechert, Head of Governmental Affairs & GTO German Business Alliance on the morning of April 11, 2023. The two sides exchanged opinions on the development of semiconductor industry and smart machinery industry as well as discussion of the plan for the 21st Taiwan-Germany Joint Business Council Meeting. The German Trade Office in Taipei stated that during the visit of Mr. Bettina Stark-Watzinger, German Federal Minister of Education and Research (BMBF), to Taiwan last March, he focused on seeking Taiwan-Germany cooperation on semiconductors, hydrogen energy, and so on. Indeed, Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the global semiconductor supply chain, yet high-end chips are indispensable for Germany's strong automobile and machinery industries. This mutually supplementary character demonstrates that there is room for cooperation on technological industries between Germany and Taiwan. The “21st Taiwan-Germany Joint Business Council Meeting” will be held in Berlin, Germany in September this year after a three-year hiatus. Since Germany is the country with the largest Taiwanese investment and trade values in Europe, particularly a hot spot for Taiwanese semiconductor companies to make investment, the two sides agreed that this year's meeting will focus on the main theme of semiconductor industry and “Supply Chain Resilience.” It is hoped that through this Joint Business Council Meeting closer bilateral economic and trade cooperation between Taiwan and Germany will be advanced.
