Why Taiwan?
Today’s Taiwan is globally recognized for its technological innovation as well as superior quality products and services. As a leading supplier in the global marketplace, Taiwanese enterprises utilize their extensive experience, expertise and know-how to meet every customer’s needs.
Based on several economic assessment reports released by major international institutions, Taiwan has continued to stand out in global rankings. Taiwan was ranked 14th most competitive economy in the 2014-2015 Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and 13th in the 2014 World Competitiveness rankings. The Business Environment Risk Intelligence (BERI) ranked Taiwan high at 3rd for best overall investment environment in the world. And in the 2014 Bloomberg's Global Innovation Index, Taiwan was ranked 10th. Taiwan was also named the 5th happiest economy in a report dated March 4th, 2015 by the New York-based Bloomberg News.
Taiwan has signed FTAs with five Central American countries and two economic cooperation agreements with New Zealand and Singapore. Through the signing of the ECFA between Taiwan and mainland China, Taiwan has helped facilitate sourcing and trade of foreign enterprises which are interested in entering the China market and further expanding their reach into the ASEAN markets. Furthermore, Taiwan has stepped up its FTA pursuit and is continuing negotiations with partner countries. For example, Taiwan continues to work towards the signing of a Taiwan-EU Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECA) and also to research on Taiwan’s a pending participation in the TPP. Indeed, this has attracted more buyers and investors from all over the world to do business with Taiwan.
Taiwan is like a dazzling pearl in Asia: a highly attractive destination in the region for European investment and an advantageous alternative gateway for welcoming international enterprises to the greater China market.
