「The Taiwan CbI Program」was approved by the Executive Yuan in November 2023.
The first phase, which spans five years starting from 2024, is a joint effort by the
National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and multiple ministries, including
the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Digital Affairs,
Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture, and the National
Development Council. By integrating AI and chips to drive innovation across all
industries, fostering a domestic environment to attract global R&amp;D talent,
accelerating the integration of heterogeneous technologies and advanced
technologies required for industrial innovation, and leveraging Taiwan&#39;s
semiconductor industry strength to attract international startups and investment,
this initiative aims to drive the development of related industries. In essence, the
initiative seeks to combine Taiwan&#39;s semiconductor advantages, AI, and expertise
from various industries to position Taiwan as a global hub for future industrial
innovation.
