The National Conference on Technology Law, established in 1997, has now reached its 30th edition. It stands as the longest-running, most representative, and most highly integrated interdisciplinary academic platform for technology law in Taiwan. Over the years, the Conference has consistently served as a vital bridge connecting academic research, industry practice, and public policy. As technology continues to evolve, it has expanded its thematic scope accordingly, fostering dialogue and integration between technological innovation and legal systems.

Against this global backdrop, Taiwan has actively advanced relevant policies and legal frameworks, including the development of the Artificial Intelligence Fundamental Act, the promotion of the Smart Nation 2.0 initiative, the strengthening of semiconductor and critical technology protection, fintech regulation, and sustainability transition. These developments underscore that technology governance has become a central pillar of national policy. In response, this year’s Conference features a carefully curated agenda covering topics such as AI governance, national security and technology strategy, critical technology protection and export controls, digital data governance and platform economy, fintech and digital asset regulation, smart healthcare and legal frameworks for an aging society, energy resilience and ESG, labor relations in digital transformation, digital government, and technology in the judiciary. Through these themes, the Conference aims to bring together diverse perspectives from academia, industry, and government, deepen understanding of technology governance, promote interdisciplinary integration, and ensure that legal systems not only respond to technological change but also proactively guide innovation, thereby strengthening national competitiveness and the foundation of social trust.
