The Polish Investment and Trade Agency’s business mission to Taipei has had the purpose of establishing relations with key representatives of Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing sector. One of the key points of the visit was the investment forum “Polish Chemistry for Semiconductors”, which took place on the 7th of May. Its aim was to present Taiwanese companies from the semiconductor industry with the investment opportunities that await them in Poland. The forum was also addressed to companies that are suppliers of chemical components for the production of semiconductors, which may be future partners within the European investments of Intel and TSMC. The establishment of their plants in Poland is one of PAIH’s priorities for the coming years.
The Forum was also an opportunity to present PAIH’s range of services related to the ecosystem emerging in Central Europe. PAIH representatives presented Poland’s advantages conducive to locating semiconductor investments. Poland’s geographical location, the proximity of future investments by TSMC and Intel, the availability of talent in our labor market, as well as the favorable legal and institutional environment for foreign investments were emphasized as key assets.
At the same time, Taiwanese participants of the Forum received an invitation to come to the Polish Chemistry Congress in order to continue their talks and establish contacts with leaders of the chemical industry in Poland.
As part of the forum, the Agency’s representatives held a number of meetings with companies, including the seventh largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world – Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation. They also visited Taiwan’s most important scientific and research institution, the Industrial Technology Research Institute. There was also a meeting with PAIH’s sister agency TAITRA.
Relations with Taiwanese businesses remain crucial for the future of the semiconductor hub, which will take shape in Poland with the launch of the Intel plant. The agency already plans for further projects and visits, including participation in the largest trade fair for the semiconductor industry, SEMICON TAIWAN.
