Taiwan has become much more attractive in terms of trading for Canadian companies. When Canadian companies invest in Taiwan, they are also reaching out to the Chinese market. Canada has "re-positioned Taiwan as an ideal partner in light of the economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA)" stated by Scott Fraser, Executive Director of the Canadian Trade Office. Therefore, we encourage Canadian companies to join us and experience the latest, most innovative products Taiwan has to offer and tap in to both markets and locate an ideal partner suitable for your business.
