The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), through the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Taipei (PTIC-Taipei) and the Industry Development and Investment Promotions Group (DTI-IPG), successfully conducted a high-level investment mission to Taiwan on 25 April 2025. 

The mission advanced bilateral economic cooperation in key areas such as renewable energy (RE), manufacturing, industry development, and talent cultivation—further solidifying the Philippines’ position as a competitive and strategic investment hub for Taiwanese companies. 

Key highlights of the mission included exclusive CEO engagements, targeted one-on-one investor meetings, strategic site visits, and the flagship CREATE MORE Roadshow, which attracted participation from over 80 Taiwanese enterprises and institutions. 

The delegation secured significant investment commitments and expansion plans in priority sectors, including renewable energy, petrochemicals, electronics, and food manufacturing. These outcomes reaffirm the Philippines’ appeal as a trusted partner and preferred location for business expansion within the region. 

Anchored on the strategic priorities of the DTI and the implementation of the CREATE MORE Act, the mission underscored the Philippines’ growing role in regional supply chains and its strong value proposition as a destination for sustainable and inclusive investments. 

The successful implementation of the investment mission was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO), the Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs (OSAPIEA), and partner agencies including the Board of Investments (BOI), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), Clark Development Corporation (CDC), Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), and the Subic-Clark Alliance for Development (SCAD).  ♦
