2 Subsidies

1.The Global R&D Innovation Partner Program

Some foreign companies have a high degree of complementarity
with Taiwan's industries. To encourage them to engage in R&D and
innovation activities in Taiwan, such companies, after gaining approval
from the MOEA, will be eligible for subsidies of up to 50% of total R&D
expenditures if they: (1) have technologies that are not yet mature in
Taiwan or overseas, and could create strategic products, services, or
industries over the course of future industrial development; (2) have
potential to help Taiwan produce leading technologies or significantly
enhance the competitiveness and increase the added value of important
industries; or (3) engage in key and common technology R&D, vertical
or horizontal technology integration, and can create an industrial value
chain.

2.Integrated R&D Program
Companies, once approved by the MOEA, will be eligible for
subsidies of no less than 40% but no more than 50% of total project
funding if they: (1) engage in key and common technology R&D, vertical
or horizontal technology integration, and can create an industrial value
chain; (2) establish industry standards, protocols, or platforms; or (3)
establish applications, services, and innovative business and marketing
models with technological content, and increase industry's added value.
