Doing Business in Taiwan

Taiwan, formally known as the Republic of China, is strategically located at the heart of the Asia-Pacific region. Over the last three decades, it has transformed itself from an authoritarian one-party state, with an agrarian economy based on rice and sugar, into a thriving capitalist economy with a democratically elected government. Taiwan is now the 16th-largest trading nation in the world, according to the World Trade Organisation, with an economy founded on high-tech and creative industries.
