2. The Tax TWG is a group of experts, mostly from ASEFEX, which discusses the tax-related matters, such as implications of the TRAIN/CITIRA/CREATE Bill on the semiconductor and electronics industries.
3. This TWG also provides data to support SEIPI’s position papers concerning tax reform, such as local spending of electronics companies, which directly contribute to national economy. 
4. The Industry 4.0 TWG is a group of industry experts from SEIPI’s Engineering and Information Technology NWCs. Its goal is to drive the industry to be in step with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and develop guidelines to assist member companies to implement IR 4.0.
