At Polylocal, we’re still energized by the success of our latest event dedicated to Europe’s rapidly evolving market landscape. Bringing together over 25 participants from the Taiwanese business community, this session created a space for meaningful exchange, practical insights, and forward-looking discussions on opportunities across Europe in 2026 and beyond.
A Timely Conversation on Europe’s Future
As global dynamics continue to shift, understanding Europe’s position in the international business environment has never been more critical. This event focused on key developments shaping the region—from the broader opportunities within the EU Single Market to the growing strategic importance of Central and Eastern Europe.
Participants had the opportunity to explore how these changes are creating new entry points for Taiwanese companies looking to expand into Europe, diversify supply chains, and build long-term partnerships.
Expert Insights from the Field
We were honored to host three outstanding speakers who shared their expertise and on-the-ground perspectives:
- Ernest Su (GR Taiwan) provided a clear and practical breakdown of the EU Single Market, highlighting how businesses can better navigate its structure and unlock its full potential.
- Dorota Maczuga (Polylocal) offered valuable insights into Poland’s rising role as a key economic player in Europe, emphasizing its strategic location, talent pool, and growing attractiveness for foreign investment.
- Matouš Kostlivý (CzechInvest Taiwan Office) introduced participants to the Czech Republic’s dynamic ecosystem, with a particular focus on its strengths in AI and the semiconductor industry—two sectors that are becoming increasingly central to Europe’s innovation landscape.
Central and Eastern Europe: A Region to Watch
One of the key takeaways from the discussion was the increasing importance of Central and Eastern Europe. As companies rethink their global supply chains and seek more resilient, diversified operations, countries like Poland and the Czech Republic are emerging as highly attractive destinations.
With strong industrial bases, competitive costs, skilled workforces, and growing innovation ecosystems, the region offers a compelling value proposition for Taiwanese businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in Europe.
Building Bridges Between Taiwan and Europe
Beyond the insights shared, what truly made this event special was the engagement of our participants. The thoughtful questions, shared experiences, and open discussions reflected a strong interest in building deeper connections between Taiwan and Europe.
At Polylocal, this is exactly what we strive for: creating bridges that help businesses navigate cultural differences, identify opportunities, and build meaningful partnerships across markets.
What’s Next?
As Europe continues to evolve, so will the opportunities it offers. We remain committed to supporting Taiwanese companies in understanding and entering these markets—especially in high-potential regions like Central and Eastern Europe.
This event is just one step in an ongoing journey, and we’re excited to continue the conversation.
Stay tuned for our next event.
