- Mutual promotion of initiatives across communication channels and networks.
- Consultation on policy‑related matters, such as joint recommendations and positions for governmental and institutional stakeholders.
- Support in developing analytical materials, including reports, analyses, and expert resources.
“Our partnership with SEMI Europe, an organisation representing more than 3,000 global members, has significant potential to accelerate industry growth and attract new semiconductor investments to Poland,” said Agnieszka Sygitowicz, President of the Polish‑Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce. “It reflects our shared commitment to positioning Poland as an attractive destination for advanced technology development.”
“Today’s agreement symbolizes our mutual trust and the strong foundation on which we intend to build even deeper cooperation,” Sygitowicz added. “We look forward to working closely together to advance shared ambitions and promote long‑term economic prosperity.”
The Polish‑Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce serves as a dynamic bridge between these regions, fostering economic and cultural collaboration as well as supporting new partnerships between member companies in both regions. The Chamber supports initiatives in emerging technologies, including autonomous vehicle development as well as energy transformation to strengthen innovation and global competitiveness.
