The conference also included the 4th TIRI Awards, which recognized excellence in investor relations. Award recipients were DELTA (2308), CHENBRO (8210), VPEC (2455), AURAS (3324), and JARLLY (3548).

TIRI Chairperson Jonny Kuo said that the TIRC program represents a significant advancement in Taiwan’s investor relations field. It will help IR professionals develop global perspectives and skills, and promote transparent and effective communication with investors.

In 2025, TIRI also expanded its international partnerships by working with the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Japan Investor Relations Association (JIRA), the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI, U.S.), the German IR Association (DIRK), the Turkish IR Association (TÜYİD), and the Bulgarian IR Association (ABIRD). These collaborations aim to strengthen Taiwan’s connections within the international IR community and bring its practices in line with global standards.

As the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) shifts Taiwan’s Corporate Governance Evaluation toward an ESG-focused framework by 2026, TIRI is dedicated to enhancing board training, governance assessment, and sustainability disclosure guidance. Through these initiatives, TIRI supports companies in building investor trust and strengthening Taiwan’s competitive position in the global capital market.
