Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs describes the Global Innovation Partnership Initiatives Program as an R&D subsidy route for foreign companies conducting advanced-technology work in Taiwan. The page sits under Invest Taiwan and points to MOEA approval for foreign companies that connect with local industries and carry out R&D in Taiwan.

The source gives a funding rate rather than a fixed award amount: approved foreign companies can receive subsidies for up to 50 percent of total R&D expenditures. It does not state a public award floor, ceiling, pool, deadline or application portal in the supplied English pages.

Applicants must bring technologies that are not yet mature in Taiwan, show potential to improve competitiveness or create strategic products or services, and conduct R&D that creates industrial value chains. A related Invest Taiwan page says companies need sufficient Taiwan R&D personnel and equipment and lists corporate application materials.

The public English source is evergreen, so founders should verify the current Chinese application instructions and confirm whether their Taiwan entity or branch structure can apply before relying on this page.

Foreign-company R&D in Taiwan for technologies that are not yet mature locally and can create strategic products, services, industries or value chains.
