🎬【《造山者－世紀的賭注》昆士蘭大學特映會圓滿成功！】🇦🇺🇹🇼
昆士蘭大學研究生協會（UQGUTS）於9月4日在昆士蘭大學舉辦紀錄片《造山者－世紀的賭注》特映會，吸引昆士蘭學術界及各界人士踴躍參加。范處長受邀出席並致詞，感謝UQGUTS會長Max及團隊、志工們的用心籌辦，並肯定年輕世代透過電影與文化交流，積極促進台澳人民相互了解，展現青年參與公共外交的熱情與活力。
💡范處長表示，《造山者》不僅是一部介紹台灣半導體產業的紀錄片，更是一段關於創新、遠見與堅持的故事。台灣半導體產業的成功，來自數十年來對人才培育、科研創新，以及政府、學術界與產業界共同合作的長期投入。如今，台灣約占全球半導體產量六成，並掌握全球逾九成最先進晶片製造能力，在全球AI快速發展的時代扮演關鍵角色。
台灣的半導體不僅是經濟成長的重要引擎，更是維護國家安全與供應鏈韌性的「矽盾」（Silicon Shield）。面對地緣政治挑戰，台灣持續透過創新及與民主夥伴合作，在歐洲、美國、日本等地擴充產能，讓台灣的科技實力進一步轉化為與理念相近夥伴共同守護全球關鍵科技供應鏈的「矽保護傘」（Silicon Umbrella）。
🤝 范處長也強調，台澳在科技與產業合作方面具有高度互補性。澳洲擁有卓越的科研、關鍵礦產及能源優勢，台灣則具備半導體、先進製造及全球供應鏈等專業，雙方可在供應鏈韌性、科技產業合作及人才培育等領域持續深化交流，共同掌握AI發展帶來的機遇，並因應全球地緣政治挑戰。
范處長並期盼澳洲工商、學術及政治各界持續支持台灣加入《跨太平洋夥伴全面進步協定》（CPTPP）。台灣已準備好以高標準、專業能力及豐富經驗，為區域經濟整合及印太地區的韌性、安全與繁榮作出貢獻。
🍿《造山者》記錄台灣半導體產業開拓初期的艱辛歷程，呈現前人抱持「只許成功、不許失敗」的信念，在資源有限、挑戰重重的環境下，憑藉遠見、勇氣與毅力，一步步打造台灣今日的科技實力。影片中一幕幕珍貴的歷史影像與人物故事，深深打動現場觀眾，不少嘉賓甚至感動落淚，也讓大家對台灣「護國神山」背後的奉獻精神、人才力量與科技軟實力有了更深的認識。
🎥 感謝所有到場支持的朋友。期待透過更多台灣電影及文化交流，讓澳洲朋友看見台灣、認識台灣，進一步深化台澳人民之間的友誼與理解。
🌏 從一座小島到全球科技生態系不可或缺的重要力量，台灣的故事仍在持續書寫；而我們，也將繼續「造山」。
🎬【Successful Screening of The Builders of Taiwan at The University of Queensland!】🇦🇺🇹🇼
The University of Queensland Graduate and Undergraduate Taiwanese Students Association (UQGUTS) hosted a special screening of the documentary The Builders of Taiwan on 4 September at The University of Queensland, bringing together members of Queensland’s academic community and friends of Taiwan.
Director-General William Fan of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brisbane was invited to deliver remarks at the screening. He thanked UQGUTS President Max, his team and all the volunteers for their dedication in bringing this important Taiwanese film to the UQ campus. He also commended the initiative as a meaningful example of people-to-people exchange and youth engagement in public diplomacy.
💡 Director-General Fan noted that The Builders of Taiwan is more than a film about semiconductors—it is a story of innovation, vision and perseverance, and of generations of Taiwanese people working together to build Taiwan into a global technology leader.
Taiwan’s semiconductor success has been built on long-term investment in talent, research and innovation, as well as close cooperation among government, academia and industry. Today, Taiwan produces around 60% of the world’s semiconductors and more than 90% of the most advanced chips, placing Taiwan at the centre of the global technology ecosystem amid the rapid development of AI.
Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is not only an engine of economic growth, but also a “Silicon Shield” that contributes to Taiwan’s security and resilience. As Taiwan expands its semiconductor manufacturing footprint in the United States, Europe, Japan and other locations, this strength is evolving into a “Silicon Umbrella” that helps strengthen the resilience of critical technology supply chains together with democratic partners.
🤝 Director-General Fan also highlighted the strong complementarity between Taiwan and Australia. Australia brings world-class capabilities in research, critical minerals and energy, while Taiwan has strong expertise in semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and global supply chains. There is significant potential for closer cooperation in supply-chain resilience, technology, industry and talent development, enabling both sides to seize the opportunities presented by AI while responding to geopolitical challenges.
He also expressed hope that Australia’s business, academic and political communities will continue to support Taiwan’s participation in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Taiwan stands ready to contribute its high standards, expertise and experience to regional economic integration and to a more resilient, secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
🍿 The Builders of Taiwan portrays the challenging early years of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry and the determination of the pioneers who persevered despite immense uncertainty and obstacles. Their spirit of “success at all costs” and decades of dedication deeply moved audiences at the screening, with some guests visibly touched by the stories behind Taiwan’s “Silicon Mountain” and gaining a deeper appreciation of Taiwan’s technological capabilities and the people who built them.
🎥 We sincerely thank everyone who joined us in supporting Taiwanese cinema and look forward to more opportunities for Australians to see, understand and connect with Taiwan through film and cultural exchange, further strengthening the friendship and people-to-people ties between Taiwan and Australia.
🌏 From a small island to a critical force in the global technology ecosystem, Taiwan’s story continues to be written—and we continue to “build mountains.”
