About the Forum

The Taiwan Business Alliance Conference is the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ (MOEA) premier annual investment promotion event. It brings together leading multinational corporations from around the world to spotlight Taiwan’s latest industrial priorities. The forum features keynote speeches by senior executives from global industry leaders, sharing insights on emerging technologies, market trends, and investment opportunities in Taiwan.

Theme for 2025

In response to global shifts in supply chains, Taiwan continues to demonstrate strengths in semiconductor manufacturing, AI applications, and precision health. To maintain its strategic role in the global technology ecosystem and embrace the AI era, the government is rolling out the 10 major artificial intelligence (AI) projects, targeting quantum computing, silicon photonics, intelligent robotics, and smart living ecosystems. These initiatives aim to build a globally influential value chain in partnership with international players.

Silicon photonics—with its high-speed, energy-efficient properties—is emerging as a breakthrough technology amidst the rising demand for advanced manufacturing, telecommunications, and high-performance computing. It plays a pivotal role in advancing AI and semiconductors while enabling rapid growth in applications such as data centers and smart cities.

As such, the theme for 2025 will be “SiPh Powers the Future.” Senior executives from key multinationals in AI, semiconductors, and communications have been invited to explore cutting-edge trends, discuss investment opportunities in Taiwan, and share their experiences working with Taiwan’s supply chain ecosystem.

To further boost global collaboration, this year’s conference will feature industry matchmaking sessions focused on semiconductors and precision health. These sessions are designed to promote strategic partnerships and facilitate mutually beneficial cooperation between domestic and foreign companies.

We cordially invite you to join us at the 2025 Taiwan Business Alliance Conference to explore new frontiers in technology, gain insights into global investment trends, and connect with partners for future collaboration.
