Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said Taiwan investors are already among the top foreign business owners in Penang but there were many more opportunities for others from the far east country to set up shop here too. He said Taiwan is a powerhouse for the information, communication and technology sector so the ICT opportunities here are also limitless.
He said Penang has the infrastructure, supply chain support, logistics hub and talent pool to draw investors to the state.
