義大利經濟貿易文化推廣辦事處代表龍博文（Marco Lombardi）率領歐洲半導體產業人士，5月8日參訪位於嘉義的亞洲無人機AI創新應用研發中心（簡稱亞創中心），與多家台灣無人機業者座談，深入了解台灣技術實力與產業動能。
On May 8, Marco Lombardi, Representative of the Italian Economic, Trade and Cultural Promotion Office, led a European semiconductor delegation to visit Taiwan’s Asian UAV AI Innovation Center in Chiayi. The visit aimed to deepen ties with local drone firms and explore collaboration opportunities.

座談會由嘉義縣長翁章梁親自接待，並與義法半導體亞太區副總裁尹容（Giuseppe Izzo）等企業高層共聚一堂，展現政府積極促成國際合作的態度。
Chiayi County Magistrate Weng Chang-liang hosted the dialogue, which was also attended by STMicroelectronics Asia-Pacific VP Giuseppe Izzo, underscoring the government's commitment to fostering global tech partnerships.

龍博文表示，義大利與台灣長期維持友好關係，並正積極推動直航航線與產業交流。此次來訪，除觀察台灣無人機產業現況，也期盼在技術合作與市場拓展上開創新局。
Lombardi highlighted the longstanding friendship between Italy and Taiwan, noting active efforts to expand direct flights and business collaboration—particularly in the high-tech and UAV sectors.

翁章梁指出，近年因俄烏戰爭與美中對抗，無人機產業成為全球政策與市場新焦點。嘉義亞創中心目前已吸引近50家廠商及研究機構進駐，並接待超過30國訪賓，成為台灣展示無人機實力的國際窗口。
Amid shifting geopolitics—such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and US-China tech tensions—Weng emphasized that drones have become a strategic industry. With nearly 50 teams stationed and over 30 foreign delegations received, the UAV hub is now Taiwan’s global showcase.

他進一步透露，縣府已向中央爭取亞創中心「第二館」規劃，希望透過雙館策略，擴大招商與技術研發量能，加速建構完整的「無人機國家隊」。
The county plans to expand the center with a second facility, aiming to attract more investment, boost R&D, and consolidate Taiwan’s UAV strength into a full-fledged national team.

根據國際無人機市場研究機構 Drone Industry Insights（DII）評比，台灣在「無人機就緒指數」中全球排名第3，反映出台灣具備優秀產業基礎與國際B2B合作實力。
According to Drone Industry Insights (DII), Taiwan ranks 3rd globally on the Drone Readiness Index—reflecting its solid industrial foundation and competitiveness in B2B collaboration.
