The Defense Committee was formed in 2020 to work with the defense sector in better contributing to the development of the U.S.-Taiwan bilateral relationship and Taiwan’s resilience. Given that defense is one of the pillars of our relationship, and intrinsically linked to broad supply chains and the whole of society, the Committee is committed to identifying specific ways by which the defense sector can help the U.S. and Taiwan governments meet their defense, technology, and economic development goals. We are pleased to support cross-industry objectives via AmCham Taiwan’s annual White Paper and the Washington Doorknock.

While the Committee is in regular touch with the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council, all the companies on the Committee have a long-term presence in Taiwan and a shared commitment to contribute positively to Taiwan’s security.
