TECC in India, in collaboration with the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER), and DAKSHIN, co-hosted the Taiwan–India Economic Partnership Workshop: Building Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chains.
The workshop brought together representatives from think tanks, industry, and academia from both Taiwan and India for in-depth discussions on semiconductors, artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, trusted supply chains, and Indo-Pacific economic resilience.
The opening session featured welcome remarks by Prof. Sachin Kumar Sharma, Director General of RIS, followed by an opening address by Ambassador Mu-Ming Chen, Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in India. Special remarks were also delivered by Dr. Kristy Tsun-Tzu Hsu, Director of the Taiwan ASEAN Studies Centre at CIER, and Mr. Ninad S. Deshpande, Director General of the India-Taipei Association (ITA), Taipei.
In his remarks, Ambassador Chen highlighted that while Taiwan may be small in size, it is a major high-tech economy with key strengths in semiconductors, ICT, and electronics manufacturing. India, with its vast market, strong talent pool, and rapidly expanding manufacturing capacity, is a natural and highly complementary partner for Taiwan.
Participants agreed that amid global supply chain restructuring and growing geopolitical uncertainties, Taiwan and India have great potential to deepen cooperation in technology, investment, industrial clusters, and talent exchange, working together to build a more resilient, trusted, and sustainable Indo-Pacific supply chain.
