TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan has ranked an unimpressive sixth in a new index ranking 13 Asia-Pacific countries by how ready they are to continue adopting internet of things (IoT) technology. But Shah warned that Taiwan was lacking a comprehensive approach that would ensure the country had the talent it needed to stay competitive. "The number of secure servers for Taiwan was lower than countries like Australia, Singapore, NZ and South Korea," he said. He also pointed to the fact that Taiwan spent less on information communications technology per capita than neighbors like Hong Kong and Singapore did. "(The) number of tertiary graduates also impacted overall score, indicating that the supply of skills to drive IOT may be at risk.
