During the meeting, both sides reviewed progress made since the signing of the MOU and exchanged views on further deepening partnership and supporting the development of the high-tech industry.

The discussions noted that Florida's unique industrial environment positions it as an ideal partner for Taiwan in such sectors as aerospace and aviation, defense, advanced air mobility (including unmanned aircraft systems), life sciences, and energy R&D.

The meeting reaffirmed continued cooperation through trade shows, delegation exchanges, and seminars to leverage the complementary strengths and advance a stronger long-term partnership.
