Taipei, July 18 (CNA) The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) has planned to hold more 
investor conferences in the second half of this year, expanding similar efforts seen in the first half to attract more equity investors from home and abroad.
The TWSE, which operates the domestic main board, said the conferences will focus on Taiwan’s five major innovation businesses — the Internet of Things, biotech/medical care, renewable technology, smart machinery and national defense/aviation.
The TWSE said that the exchange will visit firms with strong fundamentals in the five fields and encourage them to launch listings in the local equity market, a move that is expected to provide investors with more stock-buying options.
The presence of the good listed firms from the five niche technology sectors is expected to make the local equity market more diversified, while the listings could help these fundamentally sound companies gain access to funding for future expansion and eventually boost Taiwan’s economy, the TWSE said.
