Wu Hsin-yang, the vice chairman of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Stores, has been elected as the fifth chairman of the Taiwan E-Commerce and Non-Store Retail Association, signaling a new direction for the industry's representative body.

During the handover ceremony, overseen by Tong Ming-hui, Director-General of the Digital Industry Administration of the Digital Development Ministry, Wu outlined his vision for the association.

The association will position itself as 'the most practical and effective two-way communication platform between the government and businesses.'

The association will build upon its existing four pillars: "regulatory recommendations," "social responsibility and safety protection," "industry knowledge empowerment," and "cross-border and cross-industry matchmaking." Wu plans to deepen these efforts by focusing on four key areas: establishing an AI agent ecosystem for the retail sector, advancing sustainable and circular economy initiatives, empowering omnichannel integration of physical and virtual retail, and promoting information security within the industry.

Wu stressed that the new leadership team will operate under the spirit of "integration, innovation, security, and sustainability." He expressed confidence that under this guidance, Taiwan's non-store retail industry can navigate the digital wave and forge a brilliant new path for Taiwan's retail and e-commerce sectors.
