Washington, DC

Innovation has historically been a source of comparative advantage for Taiwan. It has also been an important basis for U.S. firms, investors, and government to support Taiwan’s development while expanding mutually beneficial partnerships. But both of these things face challenges. Join Carnegie for the release of a new study, developed in cooperation with the Chung Hua Institution for Economic Research, examining five pressing challenges to Taiwan’s innovation future. It proposes an array of specific solutions to promote Taiwan-based innovation, better leverage partnerships with United States and other international players, and bolster Taiwan’s standing in the global marketplace.
