Investment Opportunities

¾ Business Opportunities in Taiwan's National Defense
Industry
Based on its existing defense industry, Taiwan welcomes international
research institutes, companies, and investors in the field of defense to Right Moment
collaborate with Taiwanese companies in developing defense products,
information software and systems, and industrial services so as to
s
seize business opportunities in Taiwan' industrial development.
¾ Business Opportunities in Taiwan's Aerospace
Industry
Taiwan will continue to promote the development of military and civilian
technologies and market opportunities through its fighter plane program
and aerospace industry development policy. Taiwan is expected to
establish itself as a key player in the fields of aerospace component
manufacturing and aircraft maintenance in the Asia-Pacific region within
the next 20 years. Specific investment opportunities include advanced
aerospace manufacturing, such as aerospace forging technology,
composite material manufacturing technology, airplane systems
components and ignition module components and other high-value
products; and aviation MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) technology and depot maintenance bases, key
modules for unmanned aerial vehicles, systems integration and innovative application services.
¾ Business Opportunities in Taiwan's Shipbuilding Industry

Taiwan will continue to drive growth of the military and civilian shipbuilding supply chain and expand the scale of the
industry through a combination of national and industry development policies, as well as future demand for offshore
wind farm construction. The annual industry output value of Taiwan's shipbuilding industry currently exceeds US$
2 billion and is expected to reach US$ 2.5 billion by 2030. Specific investment opportunities include advanced
nautical technologies and equipment, marine propulsion and components, ship energy storage systems, and
unmanned surface and underwater vehicles.

¾ Business Opportunities in Taiwan's Information Security Industry
Taiwan encourages overseas and domestic companies to engage in joint investment in developing advanced
information security technologies and solutions, and to cooperate in field testing in the Internet of Things and the
cloud environment (e.g. Smart Cities, critical infrastructure) to accelerate the development of information security
products. It is projected that by 2025, the production value of Taiwan's information security industry will reach
NT$78 billion.

Semiconductors

Policy Focus
Taiwan has a robust semiconductor industry cluster that includes IC design, manufacturing (wafer foundry,
memory and other chips), packaging and testing, and upstream equipment and materials industries. The output
value of Taiwan's wafer foundry and IC packaging and testing fabs ranks first in the world, and the output value
of Taiwan's IC design is second only to the United States. By the end of 2024, TSMC is slated to begin pilot
production of its advanced 2.0nm chip process. The company will also continue development of advanced
processes for 1.4nm and smaller chips, demonstrating Taiwan's leadership of the global semiconductor industry.
Host of the world's densest and most technologically advanced semiconductor manufacturing hub, Taiwan
has listed the semiconductor industry as a focus in national development, seeking to upgrade the industry and
innovate the economy to seize development opportunities in the digital age.
