In his speech at the conference,Mr. Lin noted that in the digital era,digital technology will continue to play a crucial role as a catalyst for innovation across all industries and as a key component in accomplishing sustainable development goals. Digital integration can connect various technologies and sectors to form a new ecosystem that has a greater positive impact on society and the economy. By assisting with media relations and business negotiations,launching international marketing initiatives,hosting thematic industry forums,and becoming involved in overseas demonstration projects,the Administration will facilitate local digital solution providers' efforts in making their digitalization capabilities available in overseas markets and in growing their business footprint internationally. The signing of six MOUs serves as yet another example of the island's success in exporting digital solutions to global markets and emphasizes the significance of the Administration's role in fostering digital applications.

The conference welcomed ASOCIO members,as well as manufacturers located in Taiwan and the UK,to examine and elaborate on smart living,smart mobility,and data applications. Experts from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) were also invited to share their perspectives on the design and planning of digital resources for regional development,while meetings were arranged between leading local providers of digital solutions and Thai and Vietnamese industry organizations during which they discussed the intelligence needs and solutions of their respective nations.

WSIC serves as a forum for collaboration on the export of digital technology applications from Taiwan. Now in its fifth year,the forum will continue to support the promotion of Taiwan's smart system integration solutions worldwide,establishing the island as a reliable source of digital solutions for all. The forum will also become the place where cross-domain services with Taiwan values are developed,where Taiwan's brand value will establish an international footprint,and from where the digital industry gains new momentum.
