Taiwan Stock Exchange

The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) is the principal stock exchange of Taiwan, headquartered in the Taipei 101 building in Taipei. Established in 1961, it provides a comprehensive platform for the listing and trading of various financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds. While the TWSE is a financial services institution rather than a life sciences company, it serves as a vital funding source for Taiwan's robust biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. The exchange operates under the regulatory oversight of the Financial Supervisory Commission and is responsible for maintaining market integrity and transparency. It manages the TAIEX, the most widely followed index of Taiwan's equity market performance, and facilitates the growth of high-tech industries by connecting them with domestic and international investors.
