Taiwan will step up technology cooperation with Sweden in semiconductors, quantum technology, AI, drones and robotics. The plan was outlined at a bilateral research workshop in Yilan on 30 January.

National Science and Technology Council Deputy Minister Robin Chen said a renewed agreement with Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research runs from 2026 to 2031. The partnership has operated since 2020.

Officials said joint results include gallium nitride power components, solid-state lithium batteries, beyond-5G antennas and biosensing. They also said the cooperation has produced 20 research papers.

Sweden’s envoy to Taiwan, Helena Reitberger, said talks also cover scholarships and talent exchanges. Taiwan’s council said it plans to invest 44.2 billion NT$ by 2030 in the drone sector.
