Foreign direct investment plays an increasingly important role in Taiwan's economy. Taiwan's incessant improvement in relations with China, continued deregulation and streamlined procedures for setting up operations, along with on-going tax reforms have made this island a more attractive place for business investment.
Our government is also vigorously allocating funds for the development of six emerging industries：tourism, health care, biotechnology, green energy, cultural & creative industries and high-end agriculture. Moreover, the government is backing the i-Taiwan 12 Projects to boost the country’s economy. Since Taiwan has become the 41st signatory of the WTO's Government Procurement Agreement, Iucrative business opportunities are open to foreign participation.
Going on its 6th year, the 2009 Taiwan Business Alliance Conference will be an optimal platform for decision makers, industry professionals and venture capitalists to build stronger cross-border partnerships and expand business. Taiwan will again present wonderful opportunities through this year's conference, scheduled for 7-8 October 2009 at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC). The Forum will be conducted in English, simultaneously interpreted in Chinese and Japanese.
Don't miss this unique opportunity. The event is open to multinational executives, venture capitalists and industrial representatives. Online registration will be available by the end of July at http://investintaiwan.nat.gov.tw/en .
