In the last four years, we have established two innovation centers that provide international companies and local companies in Taiwan with everything they need, starting with offices and residences, through consulting and networking, and are used to accelerate the entry of the companies into the ecosystem in Taiwan. We run a number of programs in the centers and also focus on dedicated activities for Israeli companies,” he said Mr. Ho Chin-chang. “One of our goals in this visit is also to learn more closely about the cooperation model that exists between government entities and the industry in Israel and adapt the model to our ecosystem.”
