The population structure in Mainland China has been rapidly become ageing, elder care becomes significantly concerned. The Thirteen Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, passed in the 5th Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee held on October, 2015, proposed to widely open elder care market in order to input foreign resources and local capitals to invest local elder care industries. Economic and trade exchanges across Taiwan Strait since 1990s have been reciprocally complementary and led inevitably to interdependence between Taiwan and Mainland China. The Straits Exchange Foundation and Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits revived negotiation conference meetings since June, 2008 that opened the door for full and direct “Three Links”and showed a historical turning point of cross-strait relations. From then on, cross-strait relations, economic exchanges and cooperation have dramatically increased. In 2009, “the Bridging Project” was initiated in order to promote substantial cooperation in several industries. Based on these experiences, this study explores the opportunities and constrains of cooperation between cross-strait elder care industry; how to transfer successful experiences of elder care industry in Taiwan into Mainland China; and what kind of model should be adopted in the cooperation between cross-strait elder care industry, etc. This study adopts contextual win-win relations of co-opetition theory and new structure economics to construct cooperative model of elder care industry between two sides of Taiwan Strait. Using on-purpose sampling and semi-structured interview outline, this study interviews scholar on two sides of the Taiwan Strait, managers of elder care industry, and government officials, blending into the resercher’s own experience and knowledge as a manager of elder care industry, tries to figure out relevant fingings and corresponding suggestions for government policy-making and business management on both sides of the strait. In addition, future research prospects were proposed.
