What does the future of EU–Taiwan chip cooperation look like? 9 recommendations from the new 2026 Policy Paper

UBIK's CEO Pascal Viaud is acknowledged for his contribution to the major publication on Europe–Taiwan semiconductor cooperation, released as the European Commission prepares to unveil its “Chips Act 2”. 👉 Read the full CHIPDIPLO report:  https://bit.ly/48YC9tO 

Pascal's expertise reflects UBIK's core mission: bridging European and Taiwanese technology ecosystems across semiconductors, AI, photonics, advanced manufacturing, R&D collaboration, and industrial partnerships.  

The report outlines 9 recommendations for deepening EU–Taiwan cooperation. Several of them map directly to what UBIK does every day:

Recommendation 2: "Recalibrate and scale up research cooperation" EU–Taiwan R&D cooperation remains constrained by fragmentation and limited access for Taiwanese actors to EU funding frameworks. UBIK supports the full process of building structured, outcome-driven #R&D collaborations across Horizon Europe, Eureka Network programmes, and bilateral mechanisms. 

Recommendation 4: "Strengthen downstream supply chain integration" UBIK helps European companies identify and qualify Taiwanese partners across the full technology stack: from semiconductors and components, to modules, sub-systems, systems, and systems of systems. Whether integrating Taiwanese technology into your product architecture or building a full industrial supply chain, across semiconductors, AI hardware, photonics, smart systems, and advanced manufacturing.

Recommendation 5: "Enhance talent and workforce cooperation" UBIK supports talent identification, EOR, and HR structuring to help European companies build a sustainable presence and talent pipeline in Taiwan. For more information, please visit https://www.ubiktalents.com/

Recommendation 8: "Address fragmentation in engaging with Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem" European engagement with Taiwan remains fragmented, often resulting in intra-European competition rather than coordinated outreach. UBIK provides a structured interface with key Taiwanese institutions (industrial, academic, and governmental), helping European companies engage Taiwan's ecosystem with coherence and continuity.
