The Plan of 5G System Integration and Value-Added Promotion

Introduction

• To seize the significant business opportunities brought by the rapid development of 5G, the Executive Yuan approved the "Program for Promoting Six Core Strategic Industries" on December 10, 2020. In accordance with this policy, the Industrial Development Administration will focus on addressing gaps in industrial innovation, driving value-added innovation, and ensuring a sustainable foundation for the industry. The program includes promoting 5G system integration and value-added initiatives, while incorporating the global trend toward open architecture. The aim is to guide Taiwan's established hardware manufacturing capabilities toward developing open architectures, thereby positioning Taiwanese companies to capture business opportunities as global 5G network architecture shifts from traditional closed systems to open ecosystems.
  • As the global push for 5G commercialization accelerates, 5G represents a critical opportunity for Taiwan to transform its digital economy. 5G will be integrated into various vertical industries and drive the development of smart technology applications within them. Consequently, solution providers, including ICT companies, will not only be closer to application markets but will also need to collaborate more deeply with companies in vertical application fields to offer solutions tailored to the diverse needs of different sectors.
  • This program aims to enable the localization and dissemination of Taiwan's 5G network solutions, strengthen the domestic 5G industry ecosystem, and accelerate commercialization. The strategy involves public-private partnerships, bringing together domestic network communication companies, application service providers, and international equipment/platform vendors to form alliances. Together, they will focus on developing innovative 5G applications and services, enhancing Taiwan's 5G industry environment and technology, strengthening 5G system integration capabilities, and advancing open architecture 5G application systems.
  • The goal is to give Taiwanese companies a competitive edge in the global 5G market and facilitate their transformation into vertical application solution providers in the 5G era.
