Profilo
An architect of Taiwan's rise to technology powerhouse, Dr. George Yang's contribution to Taiwan's development began in the 1970's when he moved to the upper echelons of Taiwan's development agencies.
In 1978, Dr. Yang joined the cabinet-level Council for Economic Planning and Development where he was responsible for the development of the ROC's first Ten-year Electronics and Information Industries Development Plan (1980-1989) which paved the way for the development of Taiwan's IT and IC industries.
