TIRI Chairperson Jonny Kuo stated that the TIRC program marks a major milestone in Taiwan's IR development — helping IR practitioners gain global perspectives and professional capabilities while fostering transparent and effective communication with investors.

In 2025, TIRI also deepened international collaboration by engaging with the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Japan Investor Relations Association (JIRA), National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI, U.S.), German IR Association (DIRK), Turkish IR Association (TÜYİD), and Bulgarian IR Association (ABIRD). These partnerships strengthen Taiwan's connection to the global IR community and align its practices with international standards.

As the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) transitions Taiwan's Corporate Governance Evaluation into an ESG-focused framework by 2026, TIRI continues to enhance board training, governance assessment, and sustainability disclosure guidance. Through these efforts, TIRI helps companies build investor confidence and reinforce Taiwan's competitiveness in the international capital market.
