Company profile
Industrial Development Administration ,MOEA operates through an organization that includes an industry-promotion group and offices, an Industrial Competitiveness Development Center, policy, sustainability, knowledge-economy, metal and electromechanical, electronics and information, and consumer and chemical industry divisions, together with administrative and regional service units. Its leadership structure comprises one director-general, two deputy directors-general and one chief secretary, with individual divisions further organized into specialized sections according to their responsibilities. The Industrial Policy Division covers policy planning, economic and trade affairs, industrial investment, program management and industrial legal affairs, while the Sustainable Development Division covers sustainability planning, energy saving and carbon reduction, environmental safety, circular economy and factory-related administration. The Knowledge Economy Industries Division includes design and creativity, performance upgrading, revitalization guidance and R&D services, and the Metal and Electromechanical Industries Division covers metals, machinery, transportation equipment, heavy electrical machinery and offshore wind power. The Electronics and Information Technology Industry Division includes communications, semiconductor, electronics, optoelectronics and smart-hardware sections, while the Consumer and Chemical Industries Division covers chemical materials, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, applied materials, textiles and food. Across its business divisions, the administration handles applications and certifications associated with export-product raw-material refund standards, technical-service and royalty tax exemptions, accelerated depreciation for R&D or quality-inspection equipment, and confirmation that specified machinery or equipment is not domestically produced. Its common service responsibilities also include applications related to personal royalty or income-tax exemptions, re-export test-run dates for imported equipment, approval letters for emerging strategic industries, certain atomic-energy equipment, foreign-labor assistance for major investment cases and domestic non-production certification for goods used in major public infrastructure. Industrial Development Administration ,MOEA also provides industry policy information, laws and regulations, application services, industry guidance across its major sector groups, open-data and information services, and regional service through central and southern offices.
Exhibits
The Promotion Program for Compound Semiconductor and Component Materials focuses on helping Taiwan’s compound-semiconductor industry advance key material technologies and localization, develop self-reliant material technologies and build a local materials supply chain. The program is intended to strengthen Taiwan’s competitiveness in compound-semiconductor materials by helping domestic material manufacturers develop technologies and local supply capability. Its Chinese program description adds support for domestic companies developing compound-semiconductor substrates and process materials, components and modular peripheral materials, together with technology upgrading, production optimization, problem diagnosis and problem solving. The compound-semiconductor materials work also includes material-technology evaluation, development of independent technologies, a material-verification technology platform that connects upstream and downstream companies, and analysis of material technologies and market-demand trends. The Electronics and Semiconductor Equipment Benchmarking Project responds to demand from next-generation displays, advanced substrates, AI chips, HPC chips and automotive chips by helping domestic electronics and semiconductor equipment manufacturers strengthen their own technology capabilities. The equipment project supports development of benchmark key equipment required by end customers and helps domestically developed equipment pass customer quality verification so that more manufacturing capability can be built within Taiwan’s equipment industry. It also uses a larger-company-led approach in which equipment manufacturers work with domestic precision-machining suppliers to establish a safer and more stable local supply chain and strengthen industrial resilience. The project context identifies Taiwan as a semiconductor and ICT hub and notes continuing investment in new semiconductor plants, which increases manufacturing-equipment demand alongside growth in AI, electric vehicles, high-frequency communications and low-orbit satellites. It also connects next-generation Micro LED display development with smart wearables, AR and VR glasses and electric-vehicle dashboards, and notes equipment demand from semiconductor, display and substrate industries. The project describes semiconductor front-end equipment as an area with high technical barriers and R&D costs and states that subsidies since 2021 have helped domestic companies enter supply chains of TSMC, ASE and GlobalWafers through advanced-packaging and 8-inch compound-semiconductor equipment development. Beyond equipment localization, the project includes expert consultation, carbon-footprint audits and related courses for machinery and equipment manufacturers, with low-carbon and smart-technology guidance intended to support upgrading, international supply-chain requirements and the 2050 net-zero goal. The Innovation and Development Application-Driven Semiconductor Elite Talent Project develops practical skills and hands-on experience for university students, including students at universities of science and technology, in cross-domain integration and application of semiconductor and AI-chip technologies. That talent project links academic, industrial and research resources and uses mentorship and project-based learning to cultivate industry-ready people aligned with semiconductor-industry needs. Industrial Development Administration ,MOEA has also organized an Industrial Development Administration, MOEA theme pavilion at SEMICON Taiwan 2025 as part of its industry-facing activities.
