2005 Taiwan Business Alliance Forum - Nanotechnology and its industrial applications in Taiwan

January 24, 2005

The MOEA will hold the 2005 Taiwan Business Alliance Forum in September this year. The Taiwan Business Alliance Forum, the first of which was held in 2004, is part of the government's ongoing efforts to promote the investment advantages and business opportunities of targeted industries in Taiwan. While last year's forum highlighted Taiwan's biotechnology, information technology services and integrated circuit design sectors, the nation's bustling nanotechnology industry will be the sole focus of this year's forum.

Although the date for this year's forum has yet to be finalized, the MOEA Industrial Development and Investment Center has narrowed the options to one day from September 21 to September 25. The schedule for this year's forum will include industry-specific speeches by big names from Taiwan and abroad during the pre-noon period and four separate area-specific panel meetings, focusing on nanotechnology as it relates to traditional industry, electronics, biotechnology and energy, in the afternoon. The IDIC plans to invite people from 400 domestic and foreign enterprises to participate in the forum.

This year's forum is being conducted in combination with Taiwan Nano Tech 2005, which is organized by the National Science Council's Office for the National Science and Technology Program for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Taiwan Nano Tech 2005 will present Taiwan's latest nanotechnology achievements and includes a nanotechnology exhibition and an international symposium on nanotechnology.

Together this series of activities will comprise 2005 Taiwan International Nanotechnology Week. This week of activities is designed to allow businesspeople, officials and academics from overseas to gain an overall understanding of the developments, applications and business opportunities related to nanotechnology in Taiwan. It will further provide all the information foreign businesses might seek concerning nanotechnology investment, technology cooperation and business opportunities.

Touted as Taiwan's "one-stop nanotech shop," this week of events will open a new door to nanotechnology business development in Taiwan.
