Taiwan is emerging as a key player in next-generation drone development. However, its ambitions face serious challenges due to a shortage of skilled professionals and uncompetitive salaries in the defense and smart machinery sectors.
Taiwanese precision manufacturer JPP Holding is deepening its aerospace ambitions with the acquisition of France's Segnere, a key supplier to Airbus and Dassault Aviation. The deal, completed through its European subsidiary, gives JPP full ownership of Segnere and solidifies the group's presence in the French aerospace supply chain — including new access to defense-sector contracts.
