In the 1970s and 1980s, Taiwan’s tech industry was on the cusp of a major breakthrough. DIGITIMES president Colley Hwang aptly described this era as one where “heroes always come in groups.” Among these trailblazers was Matthew Miau, chairman of the MiTAC-Synnex Group. Under his leadership, Lien Hwa Industrial transitioned from flour production to the tech sector, creating an ICT conglomerate and setting new industry benchmarks. Today, the group is gearing up to leverage AI to drive its future growth.
