The MoU provides a framework for cooperation and referrals in the matters of Fintech, innovation and investments between the FSC and the ISA. Notably, the MoU includes a referral mechanism to help referred innovator businesses have a better understanding of the regulatory regime in the other jurisdiction. 

The MoU also aims to deepen cooperation and information sharing on innovation issues and mutual investments, including potential cooperation in technology, innovation activities and investments. 

The MoU aims to enhance cooperation in Fintech and capital markets between the two sides, and create more opportunities for innovator businesses from Taiwan and Israel to expand into each other's markets.
