Taiwan: Your Ideal Partner in Asia
A stable democracy, thriving market economy,
and unique geographic position make Taiwan a
highly attractive investment market, especially
for U.S. companies seeking to penetrate the
Greater China market.
In 2012, U.S. foreign direct investment (FDI) in
Taiwan was $21.9 billion. In addition, U.S. was
No.3 trading partner with Taiwan in 2012, and
Taiwan was U.S. 16th largest goods export
market.
In addition to introducing Taiwan's investment
environment and the current market trends in
Asia, this Seminar will focus on opportunities
for import and export, industrial cooperation
between Taiwan and the U.S., and investment
opportunities in Taiwan , especially in the
service industry sector.
You are welcome to join us and learn what
Taiwan can offer your companies!
