🇹🇼🇵🇱 Taiwan is expanding its strategic defense ties, this time with Poland, through a new high-tech alliance signed in Chiayi County on July 2, 2025. The Memorandum of Understanding covers key sectors: cybersecurity, automotive electronics, and most critically, unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
The agreement includes:
• Asia Drone and AI Innovation Center (Taiwan) – Taiwan’s hub for drone research and development
• TAIPO – Taiwan-Poland Chamber of Commerce, driving bilateral industrial integration
• 7A Drones Co. and Jmem Technology – advancing drone and chip innovation
• FC Auto System (Poland) – providing advanced drone docking systems like AeroNest for autonomous missions
Taiwan’s UAV industry is a core priority under President Lai Ching-te, with over $1.04B invested so far and projections reaching $1.3B by 2030. Taiwan is building a new 10-hectare drone innovation zone and expanding its aerospace park in Minxiong for military UAV production.
Poland, preparing for future conflict scenarios, has signed a $6B deal with South Korea to purchase 180 K2 tanks and is constructing a 700 km “Eastern Shield” defense line along its borders with Belarus and Russia. This fortification includes anti-drone protections, taking lessons from the war in Ukraine.
Polish-Taiwanese cooperation is fast becoming a model of transcontinental tech-defense synergy. Earlier in 2025, Poland’s Farada Group signed a joint production contract with Taiwan’s Ahamani Advanced for drone development.
