Asian Asset Management Center (AAMC)
The AAMC Promotion Office coordinates institutional participation in the 2026 Kaohsiung Smart City Summit & Expo
March 23, 2026 — The Asian Asset Management Center Promotion Office (AAMC Promotion Office) of the Taiwan Stock Exchange participated in the 2026 Kaohsiung Smart City Summit & Expo, hosted by the Kaohsiung City Government, from March 20 to 22, 2026. The Office coordinated financial institutions and related organizations to jointly establish the “Asian Asset Management Center Pavilion,” showcasing the policy blueprint and development direction set forth by the Financial Supervisory Commission to position Taiwan as an Asian asset management hub, while highlighting the growth potential of Taiwan’s asset management industry.
The “Asian Asset Management Center Pavilion” is coordinated by the Promotion Office and brings together cross-sector participation from the financial industry, including banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and investment trust and consulting institutions. Centered on the themes of Smart Finance, Innovation, and Sustainability, the pavilion showcases Taiwan’s comprehensive financial ecosystem and strengths in asset management. Through integrated exhibits and a unified presentation, it highlights Taiwan’s achievements in regulatory optimization, product diversification, and alignment with international standards, while demonstrating the nation’s commitment to advancing the development of an Asian Asset Management Center and strengthening confidence among domestic and international investors.
The pavilion also introduced the five major initiatives and sixteen key strategies of the Asian Asset Management Center policy framework. These initiatives aim to expand financial products and services while promoting regulatory relaxation and institutional innovation to gradually scale up Taiwan’s asset management industry, facilitate industry upgrading, and enhance international competitiveness. During the exhibition, the AAMC Promotion Office also presented its official online platform and one-stop consultation service, which integrates policy information and industry resources to help financial institutions and investors access the latest policy developments and market opportunities in Taiwan.
Furthermore, the Taiwan Innovation Board (TIB) stands as a centerpiece of this year’s theme pavilion. The TIB is a strategic milestone in the 'Asian Innovation Capital' and the 'Nasdaq of Asia' visions—both of which are integral components of the government's Ten AI Initiatives Promotion Plan.
The promotion of the tib extends beyond mere institutional framework; it aims to cultivate a comprehensive support ecosystem spanning from pre-IPO preparation to post-listing expansion. By aligning with international standards, enhancing market visibility, and channeling long-term institutional capital, the tib empowers enterprises to achieve sustainable growth. Ultimately, this initiative is dedicated to building a more globally competitive capital market for Taiwan.
The AAMC Promotion Office noted that Taiwan’s vibrant capital markets, abundant private savings, stable economic growth momentum, and globally competitive technology industries provide strong advantages for developing Taiwan into an Asian asset management hub. Moving forward, the Office will continue to strengthen international promotion and industry engagement, encouraging more domestic and international asset management institutions to establish a presence in Taiwan, enabling investors to discover new asset management opportunities while advancing the long-term policy goal of retaining domestic capital while attracting global investment.
