Taipei City Government presents:
The 2004 Invest in Taipei & Business Alliance Forum
August 12, 2004

For years, Taiwan with its strategic and convenient geographical location has presented itself as a key jumping off point for multinational businesses entering the Asia-Pacific markets and in particular China. Foreign businesses can integrate Taiwanese capital (with foreign reserves of up to US$162 billion), technology and highly skilled personnel to develop their interests in these markets. Taiwan can be their regional operations and/or R&D center as they expand their sphere of activity throughout the region.

Since the "Plan to Encourage Multinational Corporations to Establish R&D Centers in Taiwan" began in 2002, over 15 leading multinational corporations have already established R&D centers on the island. They include HP, Sony, Dell, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, and Ericsson. Most of these corporations have chosen Taipei the capital of Taiwan as the best choice for setting up their R&D centers in Asia. With its "Taipei Technology Corridor" that includes the Neihu Technology Park, the Nankang Software Park and the Beitou Shilin Technology Park, Taipei offers a home for all types of industries but in particular the focus industries of biotechnology, communications and venture capital. Here industries will find the best of the island's design innovation and highly qualified engineers along with a sound economic environment and solid government backing.

Along with our 30 strong delegation made up of Members of the Taipei City Council and Government, Representative Industries of Taiwan and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), I cordially invite you to participate in The 2004 Invest in Taipei & Business Alliance Forum on the 12th of August at the Hyatt Regency Boston Hotel.

We will have presentations on the Biotech Industry & its Future Perspectives by Well-being Biochemical Corp. and on the strategies and investment opportunities available for business in Taipei by Mr. Shih-hsin Chen, Chairman of Vincera Ventures. I will be delivering the keynote address "Taipei- The New Silicon Valley in the Asia Pacific Region."

It is our hope that this occasion will give you a broader, clearer perspective of Taipei's high-tech sector and investment opportunities. Many valuable and informative activities have been carefully prepared and arranged to make your participation worthwhile. We look forward to receiving your quick confirmation.

Sincerely,

Ying-jeou Ma, Ph.D.
Taipei City Mayor
