TWSE Partners with COMPUTEX to Showcase the Strength of 25 Elite Companies
To enhance services and improve the efficiency of matching institutional investors with listed companies, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) collaborated with the Taiwan External Trade Development Council for the first time to host the “Taiwan Intelligence+ COMPUTEX: Up Close with TWSE’s Elite 25.” Held from May 20 to 23, 2025, the event coincided with the globally renowned COMPUTEX 2025, capitalizing on the international attention generated by the exhibition. The event featured 25 listed companies from sectors such as semiconductors, AI computing, smart manufacturing, and green sustainability, with a combined market capitalization of NT$7.3 trillion, providing an opportunity for investors to engage and interact with industry leaders.
The event also invited industry experts to discuss global technology trends, delving into core areas such as AI, particularly its applications across various sectors. This also includes robotics development and sustainable technology related to semiconductors, offering investors diverse perspectives and highlighting the strength and international competitiveness of Taiwan’s capital markets and technology industry.
TWSE as a Bridge Between Capital and Technology
On the opening day, representatives from regulatory authorities, leading domestic and international securities firms, investment trusts, industry associations, and other key players gathered to witness a pivotal moment in the deep integration of Taiwan’s capital market with its advanced technology industry. Sherman Lin, Chairman and CEO of the TWSE, emphasized that this event represented a significant milestone in the convergence of technology and finance. He noted that Taiwan plays a vital role in the global AI and semiconductor supply chain and that Taiwan’s trading value and market capitalization reached record highs in 2024, driven by the momentum of technological advancement.
Chairman Lin further stated that the TWSE has long been committed to attracting investment. Partnering with the internationally recognized COMPUTEX platform, the TWSE invited domestic and international institutional investors and 25 listed companies to engage in dialogue on corporate development and industry outlook. This marks not only a starting point for innovation but also a strategic opportunity to connect Taiwan’s capital market with major global institutions, thereby boosting its international visibility and competitiveness.
Twin Pillars：Asian Asset Management Center×Innovative Pathways
During the event, the TWSE held a special briefing featuring Joey Cheng, Director of the Futures Trading Division at the Securities and Futures Bureau. Mr. Cheng outlined Taiwan’s policy direction toward becoming an “Asian Asset Management Center.” He highlighted government efforts to support industries’ development and wealth management, noting recent initiatives such as the introduction of active ETFs and multi-asset ETFs aimed at diversifying Taiwan’s financial product landscape and fostering an enhanced welcoming environment for foreign institutional investors.
In response to growing uncertainties in global trade—especially the impact of tariff policies—TWSE Senior Executive Vice President Hui-Chuan Tu shared how Taiwan’s capital market is advancing through innovative mechanisms. She highlighted key initiatives including the promotion of share buybacks, and the expansion of the Taiwan Innovation Board. These measures aim to solidify market resilience.
25 Dialogues Between Companies and Institutional Investors
The 25 corporate presentations served as a highly effective communication platform, centered around four key themes: Taiwan Intelligence+, AI & Robotics, Next-Generation Technology, and Sustainable Vision. Listed companies presented their financial and operational outlooks to institutional investors, promoting a deeper understanding of corporate strategies and industry development within the capital market ecosystem.
Discussions also addressed current global macroeconomic uncertainties, particularly the implications of US-China tariff policies and currency fluctuations on Taiwanese enterprises. Most participating companies conveyed a positive and proactive stance, outlining strategies such as supply chain restructuring, financial optimization, and market diversification to augment resilience plus global competitiveness. For export-oriented tech manufacturers whose transactions are primarily denominated in USD, short-term exchange rate volatility had a limited impact, though financial risk management and hedging remained essential.
Taiwan Intelligence+ Sets a New Standard for Investor Services
The Taiwan Intelligence+ event marked the beginning of a new chapter in the convergence of technology and the capital market. By combining industrial innovation with financial strength, the conferences not only reaffirmed Taiwan’s strategic role in the global technology supply chain but also introduced a fresh perspective for its capital market.
The event attracted nearly 250 institutional investors from both domestic and international markets. Each session attracted over 4,000 real-time viewers online, and total physical and virtual attendance exceeded 100,000. These impressive figures highlight the international investment community’s strong interest in Taiwan’s capital market and technological capabilities. The event received positive feedback from attendees, many of whom affirmed its success. Moving forward, the TWSE will continue to promote similar initiatives and actively enhance the international profile of Taiwan’s capital market.
