2010 Taiwan Business Alliance Conference
Cloud computing: A new era for 3C product development
 Introduction
This year, the Taiwan government has officially proclaimed cloud computing as
the flagship technology among four key emerging industries for Taiwan. While
local IT players have taken a leadership position in the traditional 3C industries,
they will face new challenges in the new “3C” markets of cloud computing,
connectivity and client devices. This transition to the new 3C is especially
important for Taiwan’s IT industry, as cloud computing will help to reshape
traditional supply chains for both Taiwan hardware and software players.
Government investment of NT$24 billion (around US$75 million) is scheduled
for the next five years, providing the driving force for developing innovation in
the cloud computing industry. Investment will focus on developing cloud
computing infrastructure, mobile devices and software services, and the plan is
one of Taiwan’s core industrial policies.
In addition, organizations including Chunghwa Telecom, Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI), Institute for Information Industry (III), Taiwan
Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association (TEEMA), Information
Service Industry Association and over 70 vendors from Taiwan’s information and
communications technology (ICT) industries launched the Taiwan Cloud
Computing Consortium in April, 2010. This new organization plans to establish a
cloud computing development center through cooperation between government
and private enterprise.
To highlight the emergence of this new era and to help celebrate the 30th
anniversary of COMPUTEX Taipei, cloud computing technology will be the
focus of the 2010 Taiwan Business Alliance Conference presented by Taiwan’s
Ministry of Economic Affairs: “Cloud computing: A new era for 3C product
development.”
The conference will be held on May 31, one day before COMPUTEX Taipei
2010 opens, and will feature presentations by leading international high-tech
firms, including Asustek, AMD, Yahoo!, Atheros, Qualcomm, MSI and MIPS.
Each of the companies will offer its perspective on how cloud computing is
influencing trends in the 3C industries. The program will be conducted in English,
with simultaneous Chinese and Japanese translation. Online registration can be
accessed via

The conference hosts would like to welcome all members of the high-tech
industry, including software and hardware partners, managers and finance
professionals to attend the event. Participation is free of charge.
