Taiwan’s Home-Grown Drone Industry: US-Taiwan Business Council Executive Vice President on the Global Taiwan Insights Podcast

On May 13, 2026, the Global Taiwan Insights Podcast featured an interview with Council Executive Vice President Lotta Danielsson on Taiwan’s indigenous drone industry development.

In announcing the podcast episode, the Global Taiwan Institute said:

In Season 7, Episode 2 of Global Taiwan Insights, Ben Sando and Eliza Cormier interview Lotta Danielsson, Executive Vice President of the US-Taiwan Business Council. Lotta shares how Taipei has stimulated investment in air- and sea-based drones that can prepare the island against a PRC attack. As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues, Taiwanese drones have been delivered to Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, challenging Taiwanese manufacturers to improve their technology.

The US-Taiwan Business Council thanks GTI, Ben, and Eliza for this opportunity to discuss an important facet of Taiwan’s national defense industry development.
