Freddie Höglund
CEO
Welcome to the website of the European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan (ECCT)
Since the ECCT was founded as a not-for-profit organisation in 1988, we have been serving the interests European companies operating in Taiwan. From humble beginnings we have evolved into the largest foreign nationwide business chamber in Taiwan representing over 1000 individuals from some 450 companies and organisations, which have invested over €72 billion in Taiwan.
Through a network of 29 industry and support committees, two cross-committee platforms and proactive engagement over three decades, the ECCT has built up excellent relations with all levels of government, from national ministries and agencies to municipal authorities. Thanks to this solid foundation, frequent access and growing influence, recommendations to facilitate improving the business environment have been successful in addressing and resolving specific concerns. In addition, on the basis of our shared objective to promote economic development in Taiwan, we frequently cooperate with government and industry associations from Europe and Taiwan to arrange joint events such as conferences, seminars and forums to discuss regulatory issues and provide business networking and development opportunities for the benefit of European and Taiwanese companies. This is in addition to business, social events and meetings that we arrange on an almost daily basis for our members.
This website is the gateway to everything about the ECCT: what we stand for, who we represent and what we do. If you are already a member, I encourage you to dive in and get involved. And if you are not yet a member, join us!
