The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, opened a special investment seminar of the Taiwanese Semiconductor Mission in the lower chamber of the Parliament. This is the result of excellent Czech-Taiwanese relations to date. The seminar aims to make it easier for Taiwanese companies to invest in the strategically key semiconductor sector and to help connect them with their potential Czech business partners.
“Our mission to Taiwan last year not only helped Czech companies open the door to the prospective markets there but also managed to attract one of the largest delegations of Taiwanese entrepreneurs to us. At the same time, more intensive mutual contacts contribute to the creation of an increasingly interconnected network of industrial and academic partnerships within the strategically important supply chain of semiconductors. Users here and in Taiwan benefit from this, and our companies become more resilient. This is not uncharted territory. Taiwan is already one of the most important investors here. Investments in the field of semiconductors have a high added value and will lead to the creation of new qualified jobs,” said the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
The seminar in the House of Representatives explained to the delegates the specific possibilities of drawing funds from European funds, the current setting of investment incentives, permit processes, the regime for granting visas, and establishing companies in the Czech Republic, as well as the issue of European regulations, including the requirement for a responsible and sustainable approach to investment and business. As part of their visit, potential investors will also visit the Ústí and South Moravian regions.
“Taiwan is a key partner for the Czech Republic. We share common values with it, and at the same time, it is a world power in the field of semiconductors and advanced technologies. I am proud that we can develop our mutual relations in the field of science, research, and innovation. This cooperation brings enormous opportunities for Czech industry and the research sphere,” added Marek Ženíšek, Minister for Science, Research and Innovation of the Government of the Czech Republic.
