The delegation also included Mr. Ken Wu, Chairman of JiaLong Group; Mr. Edison Chen, Senior Advisor at IBM; and Mr. James Huang, CEO of Bass Innovation. The meeting focused on key topics such as discussing green industrial parks in Vietnam and Taiwan, exploring circular economy, green construction materials, recycling projects, and exploring collaboration solutions in carbon trading. Additionally, discussions were held on enhancing training for semiconductor and green industry workforce in Vietnam.

In the working sessions, there is consensus on the importance of reducing carbon energy consumption and increasing the use of solar energy. This is considered crucial for workforce training. Experts in workforce training also participated in the discussions, providing in-depth insights and receiving positive feedback from all parties. It is worth noting that Taiwan currently has a project to bring 100 Vietnamese talents for training, with Hitech businesses in Taiwan covering 100% of the training costs. After completing the training, these talents will work directly for the businesses in Vietnam.

The consensus on the importance of experience, innovation, and practicality in projects was an integral part of the working sessions. Experts from Jialong Technology Group, IBM proposed solutions for handling electronic and semiconductor waste, blockchain solutions in carbon trading platforms, as well as training programs for human resources in carbon auditing and environmental protection.
