FT-Standard Chartered Taiwan Economic Summit
3 July 2014 | Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Taipei #FTTaiwan


Thank you to the 250-plus speakers, partners and guests that joined us at the FT-Standard Chartered Taiwan Economic Summit in Taipei on 3 July 2014. We very much appreciate your support, and we hope that you enjoyed the keynote speeches, insightful panel discussions, and networking opportunities on offer.

 

We would also like to once again congratulate everybody who participated in the Taiwan Business Awards 2014; click here to see the final winners.




Banks and ratings agencies have given Taiwan a positive outlook for 2014, and the country ranks highly for entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic freedom. But Taiwan’s businesses face a significant challenge – sales of high-tech products are falling victim to a shift in focus from hardware to software, and to cheaper options available from countries with less expensive labour. What should Taiwan be doing in order to remain competitive and continue to grow?
