Taiwan’s Six Core Strategic Industry
Taiwan’s government has identified six core strategic industries building on its previous “5+2” innovation plan to secure a competitive edge in the post-pandemic global supply chain: (1) ICT & Digital, (2) Cybersecurity, (3) Precision Health, (4) Defense & Strategic Industries, (5) Green & Renewable Energy, (6) Essential Living & Preparedness
ICT & Digital
Establish Taiwan as a critical digital hub by advancing next-generation semiconductor, expanding AIoT applications, and integrating domestic 5G Open RAN solutions. The goal is to keep Taiwan at the forefront of ICT technology, to export AIoT solutions, and to break into the global telecommunications equipment and systems supplier market.
Cybersecurity
Develop world-class cyber defense technologies for 5G and semiconductors, create AIoT and healthcare security solutions, and launch multi-national cybersecurity collaboration platforms to strengthen defenses in emerging fields and establish advanced, real-world operational test environments.
Precision Health
Position Taiwan as a leader in digital health and pandemic prevention by building large-scale genomic and health-insurance databases, developing precision diagnostics and treatments, and exporting Taiwan-branded healthcare solutions worldwide.
Defense & Strategic Industries
Promote self-reliant defense capabilities, including an F-16 maintenance center, and advance aerospace and naval technologies. Expand into space by developing low-Earth-orbit satellites and related ground infrastructure, introducing Taiwan’s national space brand on the global stage.
Green & Renewable Energy
Make Taiwan an Asia-Pacific exemplar in renewable energy by creating dedicated green energy zones, enhancing feed-in tariffs, and forming a national offshore wind team to integrate into regional supply chains.
Essential Living & Preparedness
Secure critical supply chains for energy, food, daily necessities, medical supplies, and disaster relief materials. Strengthen domestic production of semiconductor materials, automotive batteries, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and 15 key industrial commodities to ensure uninterrupted access.
