Dear Hon. Minister,
It is my pleasure to inform you that the “Workshop on Semiconductor Supply Chain
Development,” organized by the Taiwan International Cooperation and Developrnent
Fund (TaiwanICDF), is scheduled to be held from September 1 to 10, 2026. On behalf
of the Taipei Mission in the Republic of Latvia, 1 cordially invite your esteerned
Ministry to norninate a senior official to participate in this exclusive program.
The objectives of the workshop are as follows: (1) to gain a cornprehensive
understanding of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry development path; (2) to learn how
Taiwan has built a comprehensive and resilient semiconductor supply chain; and (3) to
share Taiwan’s experience in cultivating advanced technical talent. In addition, the
workshop features exclusive field visits, and the participants have opportunity to visit
prernier IC design cornpanies, wafer fabrication facilities, packaging and testing plants,
and advanced training centers, as well as engage directly with leading industry
professi onal s.
For qualified and selected participants, TaiwanICDF will cover the costs of econorny
class round-trip airfare, course fees, meals and accommodation. Participants wiII be
responsible for their own personal or incidental expenses. Enclosed please find an
introduction to the workshop for your reference. To secure a seat, nominated
application must be submitted through this Mission no later than July 30, 2026.
