TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Taiwan Excellence Drone International Business Opportunities Alliance (TEDIBOA) and the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in the Czech Republic signed a memorandum of understanding to boost collaboration in the drone industry, CNA reported on Saturday.

TEDIBOA Co-Chair and Coretronic Intelligent Robotics Corporation General Manager Andy Hsin (忻維忠) inked the deal on behalf of the alliance Thursday. The Czech Republic-Taiwan Parliamentary Platform Chair Marek Benda and Taiwan’s representative to the Czech Republic Ke Liang-ruey (柯良叡) also attended the signing. 

A business-to-business meeting followed the ceremony, with 19 Czech companies and 24 representatives participating.

The delegation continued its European tour in Poland on Friday, observing a partnership between alliance member Ahamani Advanced and Polish unmanned aerial vehicle solutions provider Farada Group.

Representatives from the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, a Polish drone association, and Taiwan’s representative to Poland Jeff Liu (劉永健), attended the signing ceremony. A subsequent business meeting drew 40 Polish delegates.

Taiwan and Poland will collaborate on drone and component production and sales in the European market, the alliance said. The Taiwan-Poland Chamber of Commerce, which made seven visits to Taiwan between 2023 and last year, established industrial cooperation in November.
