From July 12 to 18, 2026, CIECA Chairman Joseph Jye Cherng Lyu led a FinTech delegation comprising faculty and students from the School of Banking and Finance (SBF), National Sun Yat-sen University to Japan.
During the visit, Chairman Lyu met with Mr. AMARI Akira, a former member of the House of Representatives of Japan, as well as former Minister in charge of Economic Revitalization, and Mr. KANEKO Michihito, a member of the House of Councillors. Their discussions focused on strengthening Taiwan–Japan cooperation in building a resilient AI supply chain and creating new market opportunities, as well as advancing collaboration in semiconductor talent development and industry–academia partnerships.
On July 14, the delegation visited Hitachi Lumada Innovation Hub Tokyo (LIHT), where participants exchanged views on the application of AI in financial screening and risk management, the adoption of post-quantum cryptography in digital finance, and emerging trends in Taiwan's FinTech development.
On July 16, the delegation visited the headquarters of Mizuho Bank. The bank arranged a practical training program covering key aspects of international banking, enabling SBF students to connect academic knowledge with real-world financial practices while broadening the global perspective of Taiwan's future financial professionals.
