ABOUT APEX
APEX aspires to become an industry pioneer, creating and innovating the landscape of Taiwan's aviation industry. Since its establishment as the first pilot training institution in Taiwan in 2014, APEX has successfully paved the way for unprecedented civilian aviation training capabilities in Taiwan. This not only enhances the overall development of the aerospace industry chain but also serves as a foundation for expanding future business development strategies.
In April 2022, APEX received approval from the Ministry of Transportation to establish a general aviation business and was renamed "Apex Aviation." In addition to introducing state-of-the-art fixed-wing aircraft for aerial tours, we are also at the forefront of promoting regular civilian skydiving activities. We hope to enhance the diversity of domestic tourism in Taiwan and optimize the development of tourism economy and resources. In January 2023, APEX's air ambulances officially started operating in Kinmen, providing medical transportation services to help alleviate the insufficient healthcare resources in remote islands and rural areas, and strive to safeguard the health rights and interests of our citizens.
By strengthening local aviation education and enhancing the cultivation of key industry talents, we aim to establish a foundation for independent aviation training capabilities in our country. Utilizing our aviation training soft power, we gradually expand our efforts to revitalize the development of unique tourism economy, protect the rights of vulnerable healthcare, and even contribute to transportation in remote areas and assist in the development of national security in the future. We are dedicated to supplying and ensuring the necessary safety resources in the fields of industry, livelihood, and defense, playing the role of a national strategic partner.
The National Development Fund of the Executive Yuan has identified the aerospace industry as a key development project. Taiwan Aerospace Corporation, which is led by the fund, has invested in our company. In 2017 and 2020, there were two additional investments made, resulting in a shareholding percentage of 23.03%. Furthermore, APEX is also a member of the Taiwan National Defense Industry Development Association(TW-DIDA).
