In January 2026, Taiwan’s Executive Yuan officially approved the Ten AI Initiatives Promotion Plan, coordinated by the National Development Council (NDC) in collaboration with the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA), and other relevant agencies. As part of this initiative, the MOEA will establish a high-speed silicon photonics (SiPh) verification laboratory to provide testing services that could shorten development timelines for local firms.
