Funding would be arranged by the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA), with the government providing loan guarantees and help navigating local and federal regulations.
• Context cited: Taiwan faces pressure to follow through on investment commitments made under a US trade agreement, and is also seeking to reduce geopolitical risk from tensions with China.
