About the Council

The Taiwan M&A and Private Equity Council (“MAPECT” or the “Council”), a legally established non-profit organization with its headquarters in Taipei, was established on September 29, 2009 and includes members who are market leaders in the M&A and private equity investment industries. Members include the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation, the Taipei Exchange, major financial holding groups, members from industries, as well as attorneys, accountants, investment banks, appraisers, securities brokers/dealers and VCs/PEs. 

 

Our mission is to: (i) assist in developing a more welcoming M&A and private equity investment environment in Taiwan; (ii) act as a communication bridge among private sectors and the government in Taiwan as well as the world; (iii) actively advocate the concept of M&A and of the private equity investment; (iv) propose policy suggestions to the competent authority each year; and (v) widely conduct exchange cooperation with relevant international organizations.

 

Since the Council founding, we have successfully disseminated the importance of M&A and private equity investment to the development of industries in Taiwan through various events and our policy suggestions have received positive responses from the competent authorities.

 

Looking forward, the Council will continuously host forums to boost industry investment communication and will actively submit white papers to and lobby the government. At the same time, the Council will continue to provide M&A and private equity professional training courses in hopes of leading Taiwan’s economy and industries to enter international markets and a new era.
