AmCham’s 2026 White Paper Highlights Collaborative Opportunities for Future Growth and a Deeper U.S.-Taiwan Partnership

TAIPEI, Taiwan – The American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan (AmCham) today released its 2026 Taiwan White Paper, underscoring the vital and growing economic partnership between the United States and Taiwan. As AmCham’s premier annual policy document, the White Paper serves as a cornerstone for deepening ties between Taipei and Washington, providing a strategic roadmap toward a more stable, transparent, and predictable regulatory environment.

AmCham expressed its sincere appreciation to the Taiwan government, particularly the National Development Council (NDC), ministries, and regulatory agencies, for their continuous willingness to engage constructively with the Chamber’s roughly two dozen committees and industry groups.

This year’s White Paper introduces an enhanced, more granular tracking methodology. Rather than focusing solely on broad committee suggestions, the new system scores individual sub-issues to offer a precise, data-driven overview of regulatory alignment. Out of 237 issues raised in the previous year, 7 were successfully resolved and 49 demonstrated strong, positive progress. While nearly 70% of the monitored sub-issues are currently deemed “under observation” or “stalled,” AmCham views this data point as a valuable benchmark. The figure highlights significant opportunities for closer, more collaborative dialogue between government and industry stakeholders to unlock future growth.

“Our updated methodology gives us a clearer map of where we can combine efforts with the government to build a more resilient investment environment,” noted AmCham Chairperson Anita Chen. “Taiwan remains an indispensable, trusted global supply chain partner, and we look forward to working hand-in-hand to foster joint economic success. With dozens of regulatory issues already showing strong progress or resolution, the foundation is set for even deeper U.S.-Taiwan strategic collaboration.”

To further strengthen this partnership, the 2026 Taiwan White Paper outlines four key priority areas for collaboration with the Taiwan government:

• Enhancing Economic Security, Trade, and Investment: Streamlining regulatory frameworks to elevate Taiwan’s position in global commerce and attract robust investments.
• Boosting Energy and Infrastructure Resilience: Working together to secure stable, sustainable, and forward-looking infrastructure solutions.
• Strategic Technology Collaboration: Partnering on advanced technologies and innovation to solidify trusted, secure supply chains.
• Optimizing Governance and Talent Policies: Fostering public trust, improving regulatory transparency, and implementing forward-looking talent acquisition strategies to support economic expansion.

The White Paper also includes messages to Washington, which emphasize the immense benefits for American companies operating in Taiwan and highlight Taiwan’s indispensable role as a trusted global supply chain partner. AmCham points to the significant investment potential unlocked by the U.S.-Taiwan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade signed earlier this year, while emphasizing the critical need for the U.S. Congress to swiftly pass double-taxation avoidance legislation to fully realize these bilateral benefits.

Reaffirming its commitment to long-term partnership, AmCham looks forward to working hand-in-hand with both governments in the coming year to foster joint economic success and regional resilience.
