Taiwan ramps up talent exchange with India

2024/12/13

A series of education and job fairs were held in the Indian city of Bengaluru Dec. 2-8 by the Cabinet-level National Development Council in collaboration with the domestic academic and corporate sectors, underscoring the government’s commitment to promoting bilateral talent exchange.

The events, which targeted students and professionals specializing in artificial intelligence and semiconductors, attracted over 2,000 participants, the NDC said, adding that the location was selected based on big data analyses that found the U.S.’ Silicon Valley and Bengaluru boast the largest number of people in the two fields.

According to the council, the fairs were held at RV College of Engineering, BMS College of Engineering and Presidency University, where three Taiwan universities, including Taipei City-based National Taiwan University, shared information on campus facilities and resources for international students. Nine enterprises such as Hsinchu City-headquartered Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Taipei-based Delta Electronics also presented job opportunities, the council added.

Additionally, the NDC promoted the country’s living environment and industry development, as well as Talent Taiwan, a one-stop service center for international professionals.

The activities have forged preliminary links with major academic institutions in Bengaluru, the council said, adding that it would continue deepening cooperation with India to establish a comprehensive professional exchange platform and support network.

The NDC concluded by announcing that a delegation is scheduled to visit the U.S. in January 2025 to promote bilateral talent recruitment cooperation.
