The main focus will be on diversifying green energy, building a smart grid, and enhancing the grid’s resilience. With the aim of maintaining a stable power supply, we will continue to work toward boosting our energy autonomy while lowering our carbon emissions. We also aim to generate enough green energy to meet the demand from green industrial supply chains.

During his keynote, Jensen Huang presented concepts I had never imagined. For example, using artificial intelligence to create a digital model of our planet that can offer us a better grasp of future trends in environmental change. At the same time, by introducing the relevant technologies and policies, we can alleviate the impact that climate change is having on human life.

Hsiao said that the government will continue to develop green financing and its legislation, so that businesses can launch a more diverse range of products and services, while ensuring cybersecurity. She said the government will also work with the financial sector, to support a green transition that also promotes growth for small and medium enterprises.
