Taiwan and Poland are set to significantly deepen their industrial and defense cooperation with plans to establish a technology park near Wroclaw, Poland. This initiative, announced during the Taiwan Expo 2026 Europe in Warsaw, will be spearheaded by Taiwan's TEEMA, with investments from Foxconn and other Taiwanese firms.
The technology park, slated for Miฤkinia in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, will focus on developing AI, electric vehicles, and e-commerce. Crucially, it will also facilitate the local production of drone components in Poland. Polish officials have indicated that these components could eventually be supplied directly to the Polish military, fostering a more robust and autonomous defense industry.
Poland sees Taiwan as the most strategically valuable partner.
This strategic move is particularly significant as Taiwan is a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing. Poland views Taiwan as a vital strategic partner, especially given its own efforts to develop its defense capabilities. The project has also attracted interest from Germany, France, and the Czech Republic, suggesting it could become a major European center for drone and defense electronics supply chains.
We are not ruling out the possibility of Taiwanese companies directly supplying the Polish military through industrial cooperation in the future.
