As the world is becoming a Global Village, the development of National Information Infra-structure (NII) is widely adopted in developed countries as an important policy to heighten overall industrial competitiveness and assure competitive superiority in the coming century.

The benefits of NII for the nation are im-mense. An advanced NII will enable Taiwan to compete and win in the global economy, generate good jobs for the people and eco-nomic growth for the nation. Understanding that the promise of electronic commerce won’t be truly realized until suitable catalyst and unbiased mechanisms are in place, Dr. Han-Min Hsia, advisor to the President of ROC and exminister without portfolio in charge of technology policy, established NII Enterprise Promotion Association (NIIA) in 1996.

NIIA is the first non-profit organization in Taiwan to promote NII and introduce leading-edge applications in Taiwan. It successfully serves as a trendsetter as well as a bridge between the industry and government to en-courage the development of NII in Taiwan.
