Czech-Taiwanese relations

were leveled up in 2020

The Czech-Taiwanese Business Chamber (CTBC)

was honored to participate in the business delegation

that accompanied Milos Vystrcil, the President

of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic,

from August 29 to September 5, 2020.

Despite the geographical distance, the

COVID-19 pandemic, and the challenging global economic situation, we managed to put together Czech and Taiwanese

companies committed to restarting our

economies and finding new approaches to the post-pandemic world. Ultimately, our aim is to raise our cooperation

to a higher qualitative level.

During the six days, more than 280 meetings were organized, and thousands of

business cards exchanged. New possibilities were explored in the fields of artificial

intelligence (AI), internet of things

(IoT), biotechnologies, nanotechnologies,

e-mobility, blockchain, robotics, drones,

and space technologies.

Czech companies learned more about

AI and IoT industry trends. They explored

the Taiwanese startup scene and even fostered their own projects. To strengthen bilateral cooperation, three MoUs were signed during the 2020 Taiwan-Czech

Republic Economic, Trade and Investment Forum.

But this is only the beginning of this promising future partnership. As soon as the

COVID-19 situation allows, new visits and

exchanges are being planned. Moreover,

CTBC has recently opened its membership, so do not hesitate to join our dynamic

community.
