Taiwan-Germany Friendship Opens New Chapter Dr. Eva Langerbeck, Chief Representative and Executive Director of the German Trade Office Taipei, met last week with Legislator Mr. Hung-Lu Chang, Chairperson of the Taiwan-Germany Parliamentary Friendship Association, to discuss the growing economic cooperation between Taiwan and Germany, as well as prospects for future collaboration. With the groundbreaking ceremony of TSMC’s plant in Germany, bilateral exchanges have become even more frequent. As Legislator Chang pointed out, Taiwan and Germany have long maintained strong ties in areas such as machinery, machine tool components, and SMEs. Many of Taiwan’s small and family-run businesses may not be large in scale but offer world-class quality and innovation—they are true "hidden champions." Legislator Chang also shared insights from his delegation’s visit to Germany last year, where he experienced firsthand Germany’s warm welcome and high regard for Taiwan at all levels. He also highlighted the practical challenges that Taiwanese professionals and their families might face when relocating to Germany, such as housing, education, and cultural adaptation. We look forward to leveraging the German Trade Office's platform to facilitate deeper connections between Taiwanese and German SMEs. We also hope to visit outstanding hidden champion enterprises in central and southern Taiwan to better understand the vitality and resilience of Taiwan’s industries. 💪 深化交流、強化合作！德台友好再創合作新契機 德國經濟辦事處首席代表暨處長蘭依樺博士，上周拜會「台灣與德國議會議員友好協會」會長張宏陸委員，就台德間日益密切的經濟合作與未來展望深入交流。 隨著台積電德國廠正式動土，雙邊互動更加頻繁，但正如委員所言，台德在機械、工具機與中小企業領域早已有著深厚合作基礎。台灣許多中小型與家族企業雖規模不大，卻擁有世界級品質與創新實力，是名副其實的「隱形冠軍」。 張委員也分享了去年率團訪德的經驗，深刻感受到德國各層級對台灣的重視與友好，同時也指出台灣人才赴德可能面臨的實際挑戰。 我們期待未來透過德經處的平台，促進台德中小企業之間的深入媒合合作，也希望有機會實地走訪台灣中南部優秀企業，親身感受台灣產業的韌性與生命力💪 #PartnerInTaiwan #BilateralRelations #EconomicCooperation #SMEs #GermanBusiness #TaiwanIndustry
