Taiwan will offer strategic proposals to Lithuania’s semiconductor industry, according to Eric Huang, head of the Taiwanese representation office in Vilnius.
“We are going to talk with a lot of companies, research centres and government institutions and we will form some of the suggestions of strategies for Lithuanian companies and government of the semiconductor industry,” he said after meeting with members of the Lithuanian parliament’s Group for Relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Vilnius on March 22.
“I think the best way to quickly move on is to combine the technology of Lithuania and Taiwan,” he added.
“We are looking at a project to combine laser technology of Lithuania and Taiwan semiconductor technology to move into the third-generation semiconductor industry,” he said, hoping that information on the projects would be announced as soon as possible.
Matas Maldeikis, chairman of the Seimas parliamentary group, says the Taiwanese have already identified specific companies and areas where they see investment opportunities.
“They are particularly interested in the laser industry. They agree to take their employees for training and then return them to Lithuania, but this would take a longer time. We need faster results. We have already heard the dates and we are talking about the amounts,” Maldeikis said.
On March 21, members of the Taiwanese delegation also met with Lithuanian Economy and Innovation Minister Ausrine Armonaite. They have also visited Teltonika’s production facility, the Centre for Physical Sciences and Technology, and laser producers Ekspla, Light Conversion and Eksma. (LRT/Business World Magazine)
