NDF Industrial Innovation and Transformation Fund
Funds national industrial transformation in Taiwan through co-investments for restructuring, spin-offs, and growth plans.
The NDF Industrial Innovation and Transformation Fund is a NT$100 billion (approximately USD 3.1 billion) co-investment vehicle established by Taiwan's National Development Fund (NDF) under the National Development Council (NDC). The fund's stated goals are to stimulate private-sector investment, promote industrial innovation, create jobs, and reinvigorate Taiwan's economy. NDF co-invests alongside private-sector investors specifically in merger and acquisition transactions, spin-off structures, and formal business transformation plans of Taiwanese companies. Private-sector co-investment is a mandatory condition of eligibility; the fund does not invest unilaterally.
The fund is targeted at growth-stage and mid-market Taiwanese enterprises pursuing structural transformation — M&A, spin-off, or documented business transformation — rather than early-stage startups. Registration or primary operations must be in Taiwan, and transactions require a private co-investment partner. No published per-deal ticket cap is stated for this vehicle, and the instrument is equity or equity-equivalent co-investment, not a grant or reimbursable loan. The NT$100 billion total budget positions this as one of Taiwan's largest government-backed industrial co-investment mechanisms.
Companies interested in this fund should present a concrete M&A, spin-off, or business transformation plan alongside a private-sector co-investor, then approach NDC/NDF through the formal review process. The fund does not have a public competitive application portal comparable to a grant competition; access is via negotiated co-investment review. Sectors spanning manufacturing, semiconductors, biotechnology, green energy, and advanced hardware align with Taiwan's broader industrial policy priorities and the fund's mandate to promote innovation and transformation.
