Taiwan’s Business Partner in the European Union
Slovakia: Taiwan’s friend and partner in Europe, is putting exceptional emphasis on driving business relations between the two countries. In recent years we have witnessed successful implementation of significant Taiwanese investments in Slovakia and strengthening of mutual ties. In 2010, our agency organized first investment road-show across Taiwan. In 2012, we have decided to return and organize an event with the purpose to meet our old friends and make new friendships.
We firmly believe Slovakia is the best gateway for Taiwanese companies planning to thrive on the markets of the European Union, our country offers key aspects to consider Slovakia as a top destination for investment placement or doing business in Europe:
· Euro currency – one of the few countries in the CEE
· Highest projected GDP growth in the Euro zone in 2012
· No. 1 country in volume of Taiwanese FDI investment per capita in Europe
· First in the region to sign Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation with Taiwan
· First in the region with an established and functioning Chamber of Commerce
· Making life easier for Taiwanese nationals (Visa-free regime, recognizing driving licenses)
