Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan

On July 1, 2019, the government launched three major investment programs designed to give Taiwanese businesses greater confidence to invest in Taiwan, which include a new iteration of the "Action Plan for Welcoming Overseas Taiwanese Businesses to Return to Invest in Taiwan” (abbreviated as “Welcome Back Action Plan”), and the other two new "Action Plan for Accelerated Investment by Domestic Corporations” and "Action Plan for Accelerated Investment by SMEs”. These programs provide assistance measures such as land rent concessions and project loans, while InvesTaiwan offers customized single window services.
