The Global Taiwan Institute (GTI) is pleased to invite you to a panel discussion titled “Taiwan's Global Impact: Reflections from TUPP 2025 Fellows.”Now in the second year of the Lai Administration, Taiwan continues to navigate a complex regional and global landscape shaped by geopolitical tensions, disinformation threats, and economic uncertainty. As Taiwan works to strengthen its democratic institutions and global partnerships, building long-term partnerships remains a central policy priority. Featuring perspectives from 2025 participants in the Taiwan-US-Europe Policy Program and drawing upon each participant’s unique background expertise, this panel will include discussions of how their experiences in Taiwan have impacted their work, and the ways in which Taiwan can strengthen its resiliency against authoritarian pressure. The Taiwan-US-Europe Policy Program (TUPP) is a groundbreaking two-week program that was launched in 2017. Initially designed to enhance the understanding of Taiwan among future US policy leaders, the program was expanded to include future European policy leaders starting in 2022. TUPP consists of two consecutive components: seminars in Washington, DC and a research trip to Taiwan. Organized by the German Marshall Fund (GMF) and co-funded by GTI, the Henry Luce Foundation and the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, TUPP provides a unique opportunity for the emerging leaders from the United States and Europe to gain the necessary personal experiences in Taiwan that will enable them to appreciate Taiwan’s perspectives on cross-Strait matters, Taiwan’s role in the world, and the importance of US-Taiwan relations.The panelists include: Johanna M.
