German Trade Office Taipei (AHK Taiwan)

Strengthening Taiwan-Germany Collaboration in the Semiconductor Sector   Yesterday, we successfully hosted a seminar in Taichung together with the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders’ Association (TMBA), bringing together key stakeholders from the semiconductor and precision machinery industries.   With expert insights from Cornelia Probst (Saxony Trade & Invest Corp.), Steffen Rietzschel (City of Dresden), Frank Bösenberg (Silicon Saxony), Chee How Tan (Infineon Technologies Taiwan), and Jiun Chen (Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)(工業技術研究院, 工研院)), the event offered a comprehensive look into cross-border cooperation and emerging opportunities between Taiwan and Germany.   Looking ahead, we will continue this momentum by leading a high-level business delegation to Saxony from June 16–19, 2025. This visit will offer participants an in-depth understanding of Saxony’s investment landscape and its vibrant semiconductor ecosystem, along with valuable opportunities to connect with local industry leaders and explore potential partnerships.   📍 2025/6/16 - 6/19 Silicon Saxony Day Semiconductor Business Delegation 🔗 For more information click the link in the comments! 📩 To join the delegation, please contact Ms. Peng at: peng.venus@taiwan.ahk.de / 02-7735-7524. 強化台德半導體產業合作   我們昨日與台灣工具機暨零組件工業同業公會（TMBA）在台中成功舉辦半導體與精密機械產業研討會，廣邀德台兩地產業相關人士參與，共同探討雙邊合作的新契機。   此次活動邀請來自德勒斯登及薩克森地區的專家進行分享，包括薩克森邦投資外貿處經理 Cornelia Probst、德勒斯登經濟發展辦公室處長 Steffen Rietzschel、德國薩克森矽谷執行長 Frank Bösenberg，以及英飛凌科技台灣區總經理陳志豪（Chee How Tan）與工研院機械與機電系統所主任陳俊（Jiun Chen），深入探討台德在先進製造與半導體領域的跨境合作潛力與未來發展。   為延續此次交流的成果，我們預計於 2025 年 6 月 16 日至 19 日 籌組高階商務訪察團前往德國薩克森邦，實地參訪當地活躍的半導體產業聚落，深入了解薩克森的投資環境，並與當地企業建立實質連結，探索更多合作可能。   📍 2025/6/16 – 6/19 | Silicon Saxony Day 德國薩克森邦半導體產業訪察團 🔗更多活動詳情請見留言區連結 📩有意參加者請洽 彭小姐：peng.venus@taiwan.ahk.de / 02-7735-7524   #PartnerInTaiwan #Semiconductor #SiliconSaxony #BusinessDelegation #PrecisionMachinery #HighTechNetworking #InvestmentOpportunities   

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

With roots dating back to 1806 in Bremen and its first Asian branch opening in Hong Kong in 1866, Melchers has built a strong legacy in Asia. Their Taiwan office, established in 1971, has grown from importing goods to becoming a key player in the machinery sector. Today, Melchers continues to act as a bridge for global brands, delivering quality German products and services to the Taiwanese market.
