(Central News Agency, Stockholm, 14th, Reporter Ku Yung-li) The Taipei Representative Office in Denmark and the Danish-Taiwanese Association jointly held a screening of the documentary 'The Mountain Movers' on the 13th. The guests were deeply impressed by the Taiwanese government's vision in developing semiconductor technology half a century ago, the wholehearted dedication of the tech elites who participated in the project, and their perseverance in the face of hardships.
A press release from the Taipei Representative Office in Denmark stated that the screening was held in Copenhagen. Over 120 people attended, including local members of parliament, tech industry professionals, scholars, overseas Taiwanese, and students.
Representative David Cheng delivered a speech, expressing his hope that the film would give the local audience a deeper understanding of the arduous journey of Taiwan's semiconductor industry development and further explore future cooperation opportunities between Taiwan and Denmark.
After the film screening, Representative Cheng and Laura Smoliar, CEO of Quantum Denmark, held a discussion and took questions.
Smoliar was a researcher at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences at Academia Sinica in the 1990s, participated in the work of the Taiwan Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, and served as the Executive Director of the Taiwan Science & Technology Hub at Stanford University from 2023 to 2025. She has a deep understanding of Taiwan's technological development.
In the post-screening discussion, Representative Cheng emphasized that Taiwan is a global leader in the semiconductor industry and is willing to work with like-minded partners to strengthen supply chain resilience. Smoliar, drawing from her personal experience of coming to Taiwan with then-Academia Sinica President Yuan-Tseh Lee, explained the unique and complete industrial ecosystem of Taiwan's tech industry, pointing out the potential for future cooperation between Taiwan and Denmark in fields such as quantum technology.
At the event, Huang I-min, president of the Danish-Taiwanese Association, presented Smoliar with a green 'Kuai Kuai' snack, a 'good luck charm' in Taiwan's tech world, to introduce this unique Taiwanese culture. The event also featured Taiwanese specialty drinks such as bubble tea and Kavalan whisky, promoting Taiwan to the Danish audience. (Editor: Chen Yen-chun) 1150514
