TAIPEI, TAIWAN, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — iKala, a leading multinational AI company, today announced that its Chairman, Sega Cheng, has been selected as a 2026 Eisenhower Fellow. Sega, who also serves as the Chairman of the Taiwan Internet and E-Commerce Association (TiEA), will represent Taiwan’s technology sector in high-level dialogues with global political and economic leaders in the United States. His objective is to forge stronger, multi-layered ties between Taiwan and the U.S. across government, industry, and academia, elevating Taiwan from a hardware manufacturing powerhouse to a strategic nexus for global AI transformation.
International Recognition for a Key AI Visionary

As the Chairman of iKala and TiEA, Sega has been a driving force in advancing AI education and digital transformation in Taiwan. He is recognized as a rare thought leader capable of seamlessly bridging technical R&D with commercial strategy.

His mission is to channel advanced U.S. strategic thinking on AI back to Taiwan while showcasing Taiwan’s indispensable position in the global Trustworthy AI supply chain.
“Taiwan possesses the world’s most complete AI hardware supply chain; this is our foundation,” said Sega. “The next imperative is to secure a voice in software definition and international standard-setting. Through the platform of the Eisenhower Fellowships, I am committed to building a bridge that directly aligns Taiwan’s industrial strengths with U.S. innovation mechanisms, creating a mutually beneficial AI economy.”
Leading AI Transformation for Taiwan and the World
As the global AI landscape undergoes drastic shifts in 2026, enterprises and nations alike face urgent transformation challenges. Sega pledges to translate the international resources and strategic perspectives gained during his fellowship into concrete industrial action plans.
