Description
Currently, the global supply chain is undergoing restructuring, emphasizing regionalization, localization, and decentralization. This increases the risk of disruptions for businesses. TSMC recently invested $3.5 billion in a German plant, citing concerns about the local supply chain and workforce. Gartner reports that 76% of supply chain managers believe disruptions have risen since before the pandemic, making supply chain issues the new normal for businesses. In the post-pandemic era, Li-Heng Chen, Chairman of the Sino-German Cultural and Economic Association, notes that Taiwan and German-speaking countries are key players in global supply chains. They must innovate to manage geopolitical challenges and align with international supply chain regulations. This symposium drew over 200 domestic and international business professionals, underlining the topic's importance.
