German Trade Office Taipei (AHK Taiwan)

🤝 Visit to the Legislative Yuan: From Semiconductors to Cultural Exchange – Forging a New Chapter of Cooperation Dr. Eva Langerbeck, Chief Representative and Executive Director of the German Trade Office Taipei, visited Legislative Yuan last week. She was warmly received by President Han Kuo-yu and held productive discussions with legislators from all three major parties: Ms. Weng Hsiao-ling, Ms. Chen Pei-yu, and Ms. Mai Yu-chen.   During the meeting, both sides exchanged views on a wide range of topics, including Taiwan-Germany cooperation in semiconductors, AI applications, medical technology, aerospace development, and higher education. They also emphasized the importance of talent cultivation and industrial linkages in strengthening bilateral collaboration. Dr. Langerbeck introduced the Semiconductor Talent Incubation Program Taiwan-Germany (STIPT) and shared key challenges faced by German companies in Taiwan—such as energy transition, tariffs, regulatory frameworks, and cross-strait relations—highlighting the need to optimize the investment environment through firsthand business insights.   We sincerely thank President Han and the legislators for their warm hospitality and constructive input—especially on issues such as support for Taiwanese engineers in Dresden, historical education, and energy transition. The German Trade Office Taipei remains committed to deepening bilateral exchanges, supporting German businesses in Taiwan, and driving forward new opportunities for cooperation and growth. 🤝拜會立法院：從半導體到文化交流　打造合作新篇章   德國經濟辦事處首席代表暨處長蘭依樺博士上週拜會立法院，獲立法院韓國瑜院長親自接見，並與三黨立法委員翁曉玲、陳培瑜、麥玉珍展開熱絡交流。   會中，雙方就台德在半導體、AI應用、醫療科技、航太發展與高等教育交流等議題深入交換意見，並一致強調人才培育與產業鏈連結對雙邊合作發展的重要性。蘭處長除了分享「台德半導體人才培育計畫」（STIPT）現況，也提出德商在台所面臨包括能源政策、關稅、法規制度與兩岸關係等挑戰，期盼藉由第一線意見優化投資環境，為未來深化合作奠定基礎。   感謝立法院韓院長與各黨委員的熱情接待與建設性建言，不論是協助未來前往德勒斯登的台籍工程師、歷史教育與能源轉型等議題，能有更多雙邊的討論與深度交流。德經處將持續促進雙邊交流，強化德國企業在台灣的深耕布局，攜手促進更多合作與成長機會。   #GermanTradeOfficeTaipei #TaiwanGermanyRelations #BilateralCooperation #PartnerInTaiwan #德國經濟辦事處 #台德交流 #雙邊合作 #立法院 #台德友好

Falling Walls Lab is returning to #Taipei on 28 August 2025!  In cooperation with FNF Global Innovation Hub, the DAAD Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, the National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan, and Technische Universität Dresden, the German Institute Taipei will be hosting this year’s edition of the global #science #competition. As every year, the winner will get the chance to travel to #Berlin in November and participate in the three-day Falling Walls Science Summit! If you are a student or young #researcher motivated to present your #groundbreaking idea to a distinguished jury on the 33rd floor of Taipei 101, all you need to do is follow this link and send in an application before 31 July: https://lnkd.in/gsPhvxWV On 28 August, you will then have three minutes to convince the jury, consisting of #policymakers, #scientists, and civil society representatives, that you should be the one traveling from Taipei to Berlin in November. Creative minds from all disciplines are encouraged to apply – all we’re looking for are #innovations that have the potential to change the world. Last year, I had the honor to sit on the jury myself and was deeply impressed by ten excellent presentations – even for those who do not secure the first spot, the experience can be life-changing, as you also get the chance to network with other bright minds in other fields during the afternoon of the event.

🤝 Strengthening dialogue on social welfare and healthcare policy   Yesterday, we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Jen-Der Lue, Deputy Minister at Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare, together with his colleague Ms. Ying-Siou Chen. Dr. Lue, a long-standing friend of Germany with academic ties to Bielefeld University and the Max Planck Institute in Cologne, shared his perspectives on key issues such as the super-aged society and the importance of government engagement in tackling demographic challenges.   We thank Dr. Lue and his team for the warm welcome and look forward to continued exchange on pressing social and health-related topics. 🤝深化台德社福與醫療政策對話   昨日我們有幸拜會衛生福利部次長呂建德博士與其同仁陳盈秀小姐。呂次長長年關注德國事務，並曾於Bielefeld大學和科隆Max Planck研究院進行學術研究，與德國淵源深厚。會中，呂次長就超高齡社會、政府在應對人口結構挑戰中的角色等關鍵議題，分享了寶貴的見解。   再次感謝呂次長與團隊的熱情接待，期待未來能持續就社會與健康政策等重要議題對話交流。   #PartnerInTaiwan #HealthcarePolicy #SocialWelfare #PolicyDialogue #PublicHealth #DMEA #SmartHealthAsia  

🤝 Strengthening Ties with Düsseldorf’s Economic Development Office   Last week, we were delighted to welcome Simone Menshausen and Qi Xia from the Office of Economic Development, City of Düsseldorf (The Office of Economic Development Düsseldorf), to our office in Taipei.   Currently supporting over 700 Chinese-speaking companies globally—among them around 30 from Taiwan—the Düsseldorf team works with industry leaders such as MediaTek, Synology, ASUS, and Chang Chun Group.   During their visit, we exchanged insights on service portfolios and explored future collaboration in areas like MedTech and UAVs. In addition to attending Medical Taiwan, we accompanied them to valuable meetings with Michelle Wang from the Institute for Biotechnology and Medicine Industry (IBMI) and Dr. Jenny Yang from Taipei Bio Innovation Park.   These exchanges help pave the way for deeper cooperation, especially in the lead-up to MEDICA 2025. We look forward to more partnerships between Taiwan and Düsseldorf! 🚀 🤝 強化與杜塞道夫經濟發展局的合作！   上週我們很高興接待來自杜塞道夫經濟發展局的 Simone Menshausen 與夏琦，拜訪我們位於台北的辦公室。   杜塞道夫團隊目前在全球支援超過 700 家華語企業，其中約有 30 家來自台灣，合作對象包括聯發科 、群暉科技、華碩、以及長春集團等業界領導品牌。   期間我們交流了各自的服務內容，並探討了未來在醫療科技與無人機等領域的合作可能性。除了參觀台灣國際醫療暨健康照護展台灣國際醫療暨健康照護展外，我們還陪同他們拜訪了國家生技醫療產業策進會的王秉慧經理，以及台北生技園區的楊家琳博士，進行了寶貴的意見交流。   這些交流為未來的合作奠定了基礎，特別是在邁向 2025 年德國杜塞道夫國際醫療器材展之際。我們期待台灣與杜塞道夫之間能有更多合作機會！🚀   #PartnerInTaiwan #Düsseldorf #TaiwanBusiness #MedTech #InnovationExchange #UAVTechnology #CityPartnerships #InternationalCooperation #Wirtschaftsfoerderungduesseldorf
