With generative AI's rapid evolution drawing global attention, AI Agents are emerging as pivotal to the next phase of enterprise transformation. To explore these developments, Taiwania Capital and Amazon Web Services (AWS), guided by National Development Council (NDC), jointly planned the “Reshaping the Future with AI Agents” forum on November 5.

The forum featured top AI experts from Taiwan and the U.S., with opening remarks by NDC Deputy Minister Fang-Guan Jan and insights from world-renowned AI authority and AI Fund Managing General Partner, Dr. Andrew Ng. Joining him were Dr. Da-Shan Shiu, Managing Director at MediaTek Research; CK Tseng, VP, Sales North America at Arm; Robert Wang, AWS Managing Director for Hong Kong and Taiwan; and David Weng, CEO at Taiwania Capital. Together, they discussed AI Agents’ transformative potential and the unique opportunities and challenges Taiwan faces within the AI Agents revolution.

Unlike today’s AI models that require human prompts to generate outputs, AI Agents possess the autonomy to make strategic decisions and interact directly with environments. Gartner’s research underscores this emerging wave, forecasting a rise in enterprise AI Agents integration from under 1% today to 33% by 2028, highlighting expansive potential within this rapidly growing sector.

David Weng emphasized that generative AI is sparking unprecedented change globally. Taiwan, with its robust semiconductor industry, is poised to lead, especially as the Taiwanese government recently allocated NT$10 billion to build the nation's AI ecosystem and drive generative AI applications. “In combining Taiwan’s hardware expertise with emerging software, we can position the nation as a central figure in AI advancement," David Weng remarked, adding that the country’s strengths make it uniquely equipped to support the deployment of AI-driven systems, especially within the growing AI Agents field.

The AI Agents surge is also fueling commercialization across various sectors, stimulating the growth of new startups in this space. David Weng highlighted Taiwania Capital’s commitment to nurturing Taiwan’s tech ecosystem by mobilizing venture resources and, jointly planned with AWS, delivering initiatives that enhance technical and application expertise. These efforts aim to ensure Taiwan’s startups thrive in the generative AI revolution and establish a competitive foothold in this critical field.
