(Central News Agency reporter Su Ssu-yun, Taipei 10th) The Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that Taiwan-US cooperation is solidifying Taiwan's AI leadership. The first wave of assessment expects about 20 Taiwanese companies to propose investment plans totaling as much as US$35 billion. The government is also implementing three major measures to assist enterprises in their global deployment: providing corporate financing, establishing Taiwan-model industrial parks in the US, and setting up a Phoenix Trade and Investment Center.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs posted on Facebook today, stating that Taiwan-US cooperation is solidifying Taiwan's artificial intelligence (AI) leadership. Minister Kung Ming-hsin has led Taiwanese business representatives for days to visit various sectors in the United States, deepening bilateral industrial exchanges and cooperation.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out that the strongest backing for this exchange is Taiwan's robust economic strength. Taiwan's stock market recently surpassed 40,000 points, with its market value leaping to the world's 6th largest. This outstanding performance reflects the close connection between Taiwan and the US in the AI era. With its excellent manufacturing hard power, Taiwan is not only a key core of the global AI industry chain but also stands firm as a leader in global AI development by joining forces with the United States.
To deepen bilateral cooperation, the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that the first wave expects about 20 enterprises to propose investment plans totaling as much as US$35 billion. The government is also offering three major assistance measures to serve as a solid backing for enterprises' global deployment.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs said, first is to provide corporate financing. The National Development Fund will invite financial institutions to establish a guarantee special fund, creating a credit guarantee mechanism to help Taiwanese enterprises smoothly obtain loans and financing. Second, establishing Taiwan-model industrial parks in the United States. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA) signed an MOU to quickly find suitable locations in the United States to build a dedicated supply chain system.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that the third measure is to establish a Phoenix Trade and Investment Center, which will combine with the Dallas office to provide one-on-one local consulting services, from clarifying regulations and tax planning to commercial leasing, offering comprehensive support to help enterprises settle down with greater peace of mind.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out that stable energy supply is a key factor for industrial development. CPC Corporation and the US company Cheniere signed a long-term natural gas procurement contract in February this year, with deliveries starting in June. This will supply 1.2 million metric tons of natural gas annually in the future, effectively strengthening Taiwan's energy resilience in response to international geopolitical fluctuations.
