The Taiwan Africa Economic Forum (TAEF) is held jointly by African Embassies and Trade offices in Taiwan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

African countries offers opportunities for trade and investment, and the combined population of 200 million people provides a potentially lucrative market for Taiwan's commerce. However, Taiwan's trade and investment relationship with Africa is minute when compared with other regions in the world. TAEF has been established to correct this imbalance. It intends to offer a one-stop service to Taiwan's business community by providing valuable information on trade and investment opportunities presented by these African countries, as well as guidance to prospective investors and business people who seek to expand their interests into Africa. This applies particularly to identifying centres in Africa, which can serve as bases for manufacturing industry utilising Taiwan's well-developed technological and international marketing expertise.
