In the era of globalization, as the international division of labor goes deeper, the industrial development shifts from "manufacturing economy to service economy" and "from hardware manufacturing to soft manufacturing." The manufacturing industry aims to enhance its international competitiveness with the added value created by the service industry. As a major producer of global ICT products, Taiwan plays an important role in the security industry supply chain during the China-U.S. trade war. It is high time Taiwan develops "Internet of Things Security" and "Secure Internet of Things" with its complete semiconductor industry supply chain. To grasp this opportunity, Taiwanese manufacturers are striving to become not only product suppliers but also cyber security solution providers by taking advantage of the global cyber security research and development. By offering products with distinguishing cyber security functions to customers based on their needs, Taiwanese manufacturers are expecting to create higher added value.

Given special political and economic situations, Taiwan often faces severe cyber attacks. It is necessary to treat cyber security with a higher standard and review it under the national security framework . Taiwanese hackers come deep from private cyber security communities and have driven the wave of entrepreneurship in recent years. In the past 4 years, more than 20 cyber security start-ups have flourished due to IoT applications. To turn cyber attacks into a turning point and increase the added value of Taiwan‘s ICT industry, “2021 Explore Next Cyber Taiwan ” , where international companies, Taiwanese ICT manufacturers, domestic and foreign venture capital companies, and Taiwanese cyber security companies gather to exchange ideas of emerging cyber security technologies and develop potential business opportunities. Invitation to the event will be sent to organizations in the Netherlands, Israel, Poland, Luxembourg and  Australia .
