Taiwan joined the US and Israel at a major cybersecurity event to push closer cooperation on AI supply chain security, a move that strengthens Taiwan's standing as a trusted tech partner amid rising geopolitical tension.

• Taiwan's Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) held its first-ever session at Israel's International Cyber Week, focused on AI-era digital trust.
• Taiwan's representative in Israel said Taiwan is a key hub for global high-tech supply chain security and wants deeper cooperation with the US, Israel, and other like-minded countries.
• The US ambassador to Israel praised both Taiwan and Israel as innovation leaders that can offer useful lessons on AI, tech ecosystems, and fighting disinformation.
• Taiwanese officials and researchers spoke on AI sovereignty, countering foreign information manipulation, and digital trust, alongside government and industry figures from the US, Europe, and Israel.
• GCTF, created by Taiwan and the US in 2015, also includes Japan, Australia, Canada, and the UK as partners.

Outlook: Expect Taiwan to keep using tech and cybersecurity cooperation as a way to expand its international partnerships and visibility, especially around AI supply chain security.
