Visit from Taipei Mayor
FSI Stanford, SPRIE NewsTaipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou gave his only public address in Silicon Valley at Stanford University, hosted by The Stanford Project on Regions of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SPRIE). Following a welcome by Stanford Provost John Etchemendy, Dr. Ma spoke to a packed house about Taipei's Changing Role in Global IT Industries on August 26, 2003. Mayor Ma has had a distinguished career of government service, and in 2001 was re-elected as Taipei mayor in a landslide, winning 64.1 percent of the votes cast. He became mayor in December 1998, unseating the popular incumbent mayor Chen Shui-bian. During his visit to Silicon Valley, Mayor Ma focused on Taipei's role in global high technology industries, and met with university and high technology company leaders.
