SIGNIFICANCE: The importance of innovation and sustainable development and the bilateral Taiwanese-German relationship
Leaders of innovation: Taiwan and Germany, both driving forces for innovation and sustainable development in Asia and Europe respectively, could become successful partners in finding innovative and sustainable solutions in the field of sustainable development.
Intertwining of Taiwanese-German relations: Taiwan is the fifth-largest German trading partner in Asia, the bilateral trade volume is high (17.3 billion € in 2017). Germany is the largest Taiwanese trading partner in Europe.
Need for SDG implementation: The successful implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals depends on finding innovative solutions on a local, regional and global level. The sharing of best-practice examples and global learning clearly contributes to this goal.
