Dear Colleague

Despite the global financial crisis, the information and communication sector in Taiwan and China is proving to be resilient, and an area of potential export growth.

The Australia-Taiwan ICT Cluster is a successful model of collaboration between Australian and Taiwanese companies. Cluster members and key Taiwanese business leaders with experience in Australia-Taiwan collaboration held a meeting in Sydney last week to explore business opportunities in eHealth, and how to take advantage of them. The Cluster's first eHealth initiative, HealthTrack, is hoping to announce a pilot project in Taiwan soon.

I encourage Australian companies to take advantage of the many linkages the Cluster has already made with Taiwanese companies and government organisations to develop relationships in Taiwan. These partnerships may also provide access to the Chinese market, as Taiwanese companies manage some 65 per cent of China's ICT industry.

We are now broadening the scope of the Cluster, and are recruiting new member companies within Australia and Taiwan who can provide additional capabilities in health IT, e-Health, and medical devices and services. Among other initiatives, we are considering a trade mission of Cluster members to Taiwan. I'm keen to hear from any companies that may be interested in participating.

You can read more about all of our activities, and how you can participate, in the newsletter below.

Please feel free to use any of this information in your own publications. And if you don't want to receive these reports, please let me know and I'll take you off the list.

Kind regards,

Lorraine Lilley
