According to Tsai, the country’s machinery exports rose 7.2 percent to US$27.4 billion in 2018. This is testament to the effectiveness of government initiatives such as the five-plus-two industrial innovation program aimed at fostering economic revitalization and technological upgrading, she added.
The government is committed to bolstering local expertise in smart manufacturing and ensuring that the nation’s dynamic small and medium enterprises have the resources to maintain their competitive edge, Tsai said.
