TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sega Cheng, Co-Founder and Chairman of AI transformation company iKala, has been named the sole worldwide recipient of the prestigious 2026 Jeffrey Koo Fellowship, following his earlier selection as a 2026 Eisenhower Fellowships recipient.
Established in 2013 in partnership with Eisenhower Fellowships, the Jeffrey Koo Fellowship recognizes individuals who demonstrate international collaboration and a strong commitment to strengthening cross-border understanding. The fellowship honors the legacy of Jeffrey Koo Sr., the longtime chairman of Taipei-headquartered CTBC Financial Holding Co., Ltd., who played a significant role in advancing Taiwan’s international business and economic engagement.
Cheng was selected as a 2026 Eisenhower Fellowships recipient in recognition of his efforts to strengthen ties between Taiwan and the United States across AI, technology, and innovation ecosystems. Cheng has advocated for deeper collaboration between industry, government, and academia, while promoting Taiwan’s growing role in global AI transformation and trusted AI infrastructure.
Cheng acknowledged Jeffrey Koo Sr.’s contributions to Taiwan’s economic development and the foundation built by earlier generations of Taiwanese business leaders that enabled future generations to expand Taiwan’s global presence.
“I’ve simply benefited from the efforts of the earlier generation,” Cheng said. “Despite the difficult industrial and international conditions of their time, they created 50 years of prosperity for Taiwan, and I’m merely someone enjoying the shade of the trees they planted.”
