The Development Fund of the Executive Yuan is in its 30th year since establishment in 1973. In its early years, the Fund invested in petrochemical and semiconductor industries that were vital to national development plans.

The Fund’s investment scope currently embraces semiconductors, optoelectronics, communications, financial services, precision machinery, transportation infrastructure, and biotechnology.
