To accelerate the velocity of private capital routing into high-growth sectors, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced on May 27, 2026, the official activation of Phase II of its Strategic Services and Strategic Manufacturing investment funds. The sovereign directive targets a combined public-private fundraising milestone of NT$20 billion by 2030. Crucially, the mandatory allocation floor for early-stage startups will be aggressively elevated from the current 50% to 80%, intentionally positioning the fund as a cornerstone institutional liquidity provider for high-potential ventures.

To optimize capital deployment efficiency, the MOEA is rolling out four structural policy innovations in 2026:

• Extraterritorial Corporate Eligibility: Broadening the investment scope to include offshore holding companies (e.g., registered in jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands for tax optimization) provided their primary operational infrastructure, R&D centers, and asset bases reside physically within Taiwan.
• Enhanced Matching Ratios: Elevating the sovereign-to-private venture capital matching ratio from the baseline 1:1 up to 1:3 for high-priority sectors, allowing co-investing venture capital funds to deploy fewer upfront assets.
• Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) Integration: Expanding the authorized co-investment partner ecosystem beyond traditional Venture Capital (VC) firms to actively include Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) units, leveraging multinational corporate balance sheets.
• Follow-On Funding Tiers: Appending an autonomous NT$50 million follow-on (Series B/C) allocation tranche on top of the initial NT$100 million single-company cap, moving maximum exposure per asset to NT$150 million.

Actuarial Performance Tracking: Phase I Execution Readout

The National Development Fund (NDF) historically ring-fenced NT$10 billion each for the Strategic Services and Strategic Manufacturing initiatives managed by the MOEA. The Industrial Development Administration (IDA) Director-General, Chiu Chiu-hui, delivered the Phase I audit results:

The IDA confirmed that Phase II implementation commenced at the end of last year, with approximately NT$1 billion currently allocated. Management acknowledged that hitting the aggressive 2030 milestones will require significantly enhanced operational momentum across both public and private sectors over the coming fiscal cycles.
