The European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan has announced a leadership change, naming Frank Grunert, president and chief executive of Siemens Taiwan, as its next chairperson.
Grunert will officially take on the role on September 1, 2026, following a unanimous decision by the chamber’s council. His appointment places a prominent Taiwan-based European business leader at the head of one of the island’s key organizations representing European companies and commercial interests.
The move comes at a time when Taiwan’s economic ties with Europe continue to draw attention across industries such as advanced manufacturing, green energy, digital transformation, infrastructure, and technology. With his experience leading Siemens Taiwan, Grunert is expected to bring deep industry knowledge and a strong understanding of Taiwan’s business environment to the chamber’s leadership.
The European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan plays an important role in supporting dialogue between European businesses, Taiwanese authorities, and local industry partners. Its work often focuses on improving the business climate, encouraging investment, and strengthening cooperation between Taiwan and Europe.
Grunert’s upcoming chairmanship is likely to be watched closely by companies operating in Taiwan, particularly as European firms continue to explore opportunities in the island’s fast-evolving economy. His leadership is expected to help guide the chamber’s priorities as it continues advocating for European business interests and stronger Taiwan-Europe commercial relations.
