Remarks by Director General David Cheng-Ｗei Wu at the Opening Ceremony of the Security Expo 2025 – Taiwan SEC
The Security Expo 2025 is more than a showcase of the advanced security technologies, and it also represents a crucial intersection of security and innovation in our modern society.
It’s worth noting the foresight of the Australian government in this area. The Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP), introduced at the end of 2023-2024, has strengthened requirements for both cyber and physical security. This has increased demand for security services and created significant opportunities for technology providers. This exhibition’s focus on physical security, cybersecurity, surveillance, and emergency response systems perfectly aligns with the current needs of the Australian market.
Taiwan is also facing the above mentioned challenges. President Lai Ching-te initiated the “Five Trusted Industry Sectors”, including semiconductors, AI, military, security and surveillance, and next-generation communications——that will not only strengthen Taiwan’s key position in global supply chains and forge closer ties with democratic partners, like Australia, but will also boost Taiwan’s competitiveness across all sectors, and reinforce the nation’s overall security and resilience.
So Taiwan’s security industry is more than just a product supplier or service provider, Taiwan is also a trustworthy partner in safeguarding the way of life and our treasured values.
In addition, Director Angela Kuo of the Economic Division, TECO in Australia not only outlined the development of Taiwan’s smart security industry but also specifically called on all sectors in Australia to support Taiwan’s participation in the CPTPP
