TBD20 Press Release by TBANL
荷蘭台灣商會創新委員會成立暨荷蘭台灣商機日 荷蘭台商會會長 林婉叡供稿 荷蘭只比台灣大五千八百平方公里，但是荷蘭運用靈活的商業手段, 卻能以小搏大, 將小國的貿易價值做最大值！荷蘭是世界第五大出口國，是全球第二大農業出口國，其競爭力指數和創新指數均達到世界前四。 小國實力 科技新創 近年來, 有著敏銳商業思維的荷蘭政府將矛頭指向新創產業。2014年荷蘭政府制定了「2025年科學戰略」，在荷蘭活躍的創新經濟活動，是由政府、科研機構和私營企業組成的生態體系，它們共同出資出力，支撐起這個國家的創新和發展。平均每天有4項專利，荷蘭人是怎麼做到的？ 而有著幾乎相同背景的台灣, 近年來政府全力動起來，配合全球科技創新潮，為台灣創新創業環境打底，除了五大創新產業的「亞洲‧矽谷」計畫，另包括科技部、經濟部中小企業處等也都積極推動與創業相關的政策措施，健全台灣創業環境。為此，荷蘭台商會於2020年8月成立「新創委員會」， 協助台灣政府與荷蘭創新接軌，近一步提供荷/台商尋求技術合作或開拓市場可能性。 荷蘭台商會「新創委員會」 荷蘭台商會是歐洲商會內最具含金量的商會，該商會共有26個台灣股票上市公司，其中包括: 台積電、台達電、微星電腦、研華科技、捷安特、兆豐商銀等，是台商進軍歐洲的最佳跳板。也是歐洲唯一成立「新創委員會」的台灣商會。面對荷蘭政府強而有力的支持創新產業, 在荷蘭台北代表處經濟組組長王劍平及荷蘭商會長林婉叡的積極推動下，荷蘭台商會於2020年8月27日以視訊方式，正式召開「新創委員會說明會」，誠如經濟組王組長的開幕致詞的說明:新創委員會是一個多面向平台，連結荷蘭台商會、台灣新創團隊、荷蘭新創團隊、台灣政府與荷蘭政府的資源。創新說明會由兆豐商銀總經理，同時也是新創委員會主委陳國雄，以曾經待過矽谷的視野，循序漸進引導荷蘭台商會會員走進新創的世界。 荷蘭台灣商機日 為此, 荷蘭台商會積極協助配合烏特勒支市政府及Taiwan Globalization Network (TGN)舉辦的「荷蘭台灣商機日」。今年因應COVID-19疫情，改採線上方式辦理。又因為荷蘭疫情嚴重的影響，僅開放少數人到場見證台荷新創合作的歷史一刻。 在「荷蘭台灣商機日」，到場的有駐荷蘭台北代表處大使陳欣新、經濟組組長王劍平、經濟組秘書陳大明、政務組秘書王俊義、荷蘭台商會會長林婉叡、新創委員會主任委員陳國雄及荷蘭台商會理監事-微星電腦、群創光電、永豐餘投控、萬實達國際物流等公司負責人及烏特勒支副市長Klaas Verschuure等一行人。 更值得一提的是, 當天還以視訊模式由台北市副市長黃珊珊及烏特勒支副市長Klaas Verschuure簽署臺北市與烏特勒支『產業經濟交流備忘錄』，由駐荷蘭臺北代表處陳欣新代表觀禮見證, 前駐荷蘭臺北代表處周台竹及荷蘭在台辦事處代表譚敬南也在台北現場觀禮見證。 簽約後，烏特勒支副市長Klaas Verschuure表示，烏特勒支擁有完整且強大的創新創業扶植生態系統，積極推動創新產業。烏特勒支與臺北市的友誼，將透過近年新創產業的網絡鏈結，做具體的合作計畫。 「荷蘭台灣商機日」當日, 經濟組組長王劍平做開幕致詞，概述了台灣政府為加強台灣新創產業而採取的行動計劃，包括促進中小型投資的新法規公司，以及開發和吸引人才的計劃。此後，ROM Utrecht的Jaap Breugem強調台灣和烏特勒支各自的創業生態系統的競爭優勢，技術優勢和業務需求，互惠互利的國際商業合作的模式。荷蘭台商會創新委員會主委陳國雄更以Apple及Tesla為實例，證明台灣的硬實力，最後烏特勒支大學的Freek van Muiswinkel教授說明烏特勒支擁有全荷成長最快的生物科學園區，提出關於兩者之間協助關係的廣泛見解。 「荷蘭台灣商機日」的最後部分是WeScale創業競賽團隊頒獎典禮。經過Pitch競賽，共挑出台灣和荷蘭4家創新新創公司分別獲得長榮航空，中華航空，所贊助的荷蘭-台北機票大獎及未來的荷台新創交流指導。 Please download the TBANL press release: 2020 荷蘭台灣商會創新委員會新聞稿1010 and TBD20 flyer and slides!
