Companies entering or expanding across the Asia Pacific increasingly find that understanding Taiwan’s role in global technology, trade, and geopolitics is essential to doing business in the region. As the Taiwan arm of The GR Company—an APAC-focused government relations and public affairs consultancy with established practices across Japan and South Korea—GR Taiwan was launched to help multinational corporations and global organizations navigate the evolving operating terrain. Through rigorous policy analysis, stakeholder mapping, government outreach, advocacy, and intelligence gathering, the firm helps clients overcome regulatory complexity and gain clear insight into stakeholder dynamics.
Locating where a client’s value fits within Taiwan’s policy and commercial landscape is a key task undertaken by GR Taiwan’s team, whose members’ backgrounds span diplomacy, corporate affairs, journalism, political advisory, legal practice, academia, and international business. “You need to have a strong command of the subject matter, especially to read what’s not explicit,” says GR Taiwan President and CEO Jakob Edberg. The firm has applied this approach across a diverse client base, including major U.S. pharmaceutical companies, hospitality and consumer services businesses, and startups developing advanced drone systems. The results range from successful disease-awareness advocacy and operational launches to strategic market repositioning.
GR Taiwan also helps clients understand how events in Taiwan connect with wider regional developments. Unlike think tanks, trade organizations, or other organizations operating in the policy sphere, the firm begins with each client’s specific needs and identifies the issues most relevant to them. “We see ourselves as our clients’ eyes and ears, helping them navigate the turbulence created by global geopolitical shifts,” Edberg says. Its value lies in being a trusted business partner, providing clients with the clarity and context to understand their specific issues and translate complex policy insights into practical business decisions.
