(Central News Agency reporter Liao Han-yuan, New York, 2nd) The Taiwanese robotics delegation participating in the "SelectUSA Investment Summit" recently visited Michigan. The group traveled to US industrial hubs like Detroit and Oakland County to understand local supply chain experiences and seek cooperation opportunities between Taiwan and Michigan.
The 2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit will be held from May 3 to 6 in National Harbor, Maryland, in the greater Washington D.C. area. The "SelectUSA Robotics" delegation from Taiwan visited Michigan from April 30 to May 1.
The robotics delegation, composed of 15 Taiwanese companies, held a dinner on April 30. Detroit Deputy Mayor Brian White, Michigan Economic Development Corporation CEO Quentin Messer, State Representatives Brenda Carter, William Bruck, and Mike McFall attended, collectively expressing their expectations for cooperation and investment plans in robotics technology between Taiwan and Michigan, hoping to combine Michigan's talent and energy advantages with Taiwan's technology and industrial experience to jointly build supply chains.
On the same day, the delegation visited robotics company FANUC and the University of Michigan, promoting bilateral industry-academia cooperation.
Delegation members and Lei Yen-Feng, Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago, among others, visited the Newlab incubator in Detroit on May 1, which was converted from the former Central Station postal logistics center, to explore investment opportunities for startups in Michigan. The group also visited Oakland County, Michigan's largest county.
Oakland County's production accounts for 20% of Michigan's GDP. County Executive David Coulter and his team emphasized that Oakland County is Michigan's high-tech industry center, with over 4,000 foreign companies gathered there, including automotive, automation, and robotics industries. During the visit, they introduced the local "Automation Corridor" program, hoping for participation from Taiwanese businesses.
The delegation was led by Lin Mao-Chang, Chairman of Nexcom International, and included companies such as UMC and Hon Hai. They successively visited US industrial hubs like Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Oakland, and will then proceed to Washington D.C. to attend the SelectUSA Investment Summit with other Taiwanese teams.
