The inauguration ceremony began with a group photo of all distinguished guests. Participants then placed stickers on a specially designed backdrop labeled "Action Blueprint," featuring nine slogans related to the vision for digital technology development, including "Talent Transformation for the AI Era," "Planning Smart Cities," "Strengthening Taiwan's International Status," "Regulatory Adaptation for the AI Era," "Promoting International Digital Economy Industry Exchange," "Implementing Secure Digital Transactions," "Enhancing National Financial Literacy," "Cultivating Nationwide Digital Media Literacy," and "Perfecting Transportation Policies." After the organizational charter was approved and the president and vice president were elected, the founder and president, Legislator Lin Chu-Yin, delivered the opening remarks. Deputy Secretary-General Chang then spoke on behalf of the Legislative Yuan, stating that it was an honor to represent President Han at the inauguration of the Taiwan Parliamentary Association for Digital Technology and New Economy Industry. He noted that with the development of emerging digital technologies, such as 5G, cloud applications, robotics, and drones, the era of comprehensive industrial digitalization has officially arrived. Tasks that once required significant human, material, and time resources can now be accomplished more accurately through computer machinery, cloud computing, and data analysis. By integrating digital technology and artificial intelligence, we can enhance enterprise productivity, significantly advance the national economy, and improve the well-being of all citizens.

Deputy Secretary-General Chang continued by stating that while digital technology is influencing the daily lives of global citizens, it is also transforming the operations of parliaments worldwide and the ways in which legislators engage in parliamentary inquiries. Parliaments worldwide must accelerate their digitalization efforts to meet the needs of legislators for conducting inquiries via video conferencing. According to the "Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Guidelines on Digital Transformation of Parliaments" released in 2023, one of the advantages of parliamentary digital transformation is making legislative information more transparent, thereby enhancing public trust in legislative bodies. Driven by global trends and public demand, the Legislative Yuan has been committed to principles such as "open information," "information transparency," "convenient access to information," and "information digitization." In line with these principles, the Legislative Yuan has continuously optimized various functions of its official website, including enhancing keyword search capabilities, establishing permanent independent URLs for digital resources, and adopting open-source digital systems. These efforts aim to further digitalize Taiwan’s parliament, making it easier for the public and civil society organizations to access concrete information.

Deputy Secretary-General Chang concluded by expressing his special thanks to Legislator Lin Chu-Yin for initiating today's inauguration. He expressed confidence that under the mission of the Taiwan Parliamentary Association for Digital Technology and New Economic Industry Exchange, this organization will undoubtedly guide and enhance collaboration among government, industry, and academia in this field. The administrative departments of the Legislative Yuan will continue to cooperate with and support the collaboration between the parliament and various sectors to promote the prosperity and development of Taiwan's new economic industries.

The inauguration ceremony was followed by congratulatory speeches delivered by Vice Presidents Mai Yu-chen, Hsu Chih-chieh, Executive Director of DEAT Marvin Ma, Executive Director of TiEA Roger Chen, and Chairperson of DMA Nathan Chiu. Afterward, the attending guests engaged in a sharing and exchange session, concluding the event successfully after approximately 50 minutes.
