First White Paper in 78 Years Delivered to Ministry of Economic Affairs
The Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association released its first TEEMA Industry White Paper since its founding 78 years ago, delivered by Chairman Young Liu to Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin on the 11th. Centered on the core strategy of "Strong Taiwan, Enrich Local," the white paper proposes building a new engine for global competitiveness and advancing Taiwan's vision as an economy where the sun never sets, marking a systematic policy proposal for the future of the electrical and electronics industry.
Taiwan-Centered Taiwan+N Global Layout
Young Liu said that amid the restructuring of global supply chains, Taiwan must rethink the meaning of globalization, pursuing a "Taiwan+N" global layout centered on Taiwan. The focus is on continuing to strengthen Taiwan's R&D and innovation, key technologies, high-end manufacturing, talent, and core production factors, while building closer industrial linkages with major global markets and extending technology, talent, resources, and experience to the world.
Proposal for TEEMA Overseas Science Parks
One of the white paper's key proposals is the establishment of "TEEMA Science Parks," following a Taiwan+N layout by selecting major international markets for overseas industrial clusters. Combining government policy support with the association's integration capabilities, it promotes joint overseas expansion by companies, using a "big leading small, downstream leading upstream" model to help SMEs, upstream and downstream supply chains, and related industries expand into international markets together, responding to the need for supply chains to go abroad.
MOEA: Echoes Vision of an Economy Where the Sun Never Sets
Kung Ming-hsin responded that the white paper's systematic thinking on industrial development strategy offers important reference value for government policymaking, and its core concept of "Strong Taiwan, Enrich Local" aligns with President William Lai's trade and economic strategic vision of an economy where the sun never sets. He noted that overseas science parks can integrate Taiwan's manufacturing strengths and supply-chain capabilities, and by cooperating with local companies and brands, help businesses stay close to markets, create markets, secure market access, and support local industrial development, raising Taiwan's international visibility and influence. He expressed hope that future efforts combining infrastructure services, overseas talent training, and two-way talent flows will form a virtuous cycle.
