The 2025 U.S. Business Day was held Sept. 23 in Taipei City by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan External Trade Development Council, American Institute in Taiwan and American State Offices Association.
According to the MOEA, Taiwan and the U.S. are major trading partners and the event serves as a key platform to promote bilateral trade and investment. This year’s event focused on sectors spanning 5G communication technology, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, information and communication technology and automobile components and parts.
Representatives from the U.S. states of Hawaii, Kentucky, Nevada, North Dakota and Missouri were also invited to brief participants about their respective business and investment opportunities, the ministry added.
In opening remarks, William Liu, director general of the MOEA’s International Trade Administration, said the government works hard to assist local firms to diversify their international presence to strengthen supply chain resilience.
In addition to the Five Trusted Industry Sectors initiative, the government also promotes silicon photonics, quantum computing and AI robots. The two sides can expand supply chain partnership as the U.S. has a strong foundation in these advanced technologies, he added.
Acting AIT Director Karin Lang said Taiwan is the U.S.’ seventh largest trading partner, and has sent the largest delegation to the SelectUSA Investment Summit for six years in a row.
The two sides also share complementary strengths in AI, semiconductors and next-generation technologies, Lang said. Expanding presence in Taiwan by U.S. firms such as Micron Technology Inc., Qualcomm Inc. and Nvidia Corp. underscores the shared vision to promote innovation and supply chain resilience by both sides, she added.
