On September 24, the 2020 Taiwan Innotech Expo officially opened its doors to the public. The event, which ran until September 26, took place in Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center. In a bid to further promote and strengthen international ties, this year’s expo welcomed a whole host of research and manufacturing heavyweights, chief among them Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Siemens, Corning, Microsoft, Logitech and Cisco – this doesn’t even include the scores of pioneering international SMEs in attendance. Altogether, there were 459 manufacturers exhibiting more than 1,300 technologies and patented inventions. Needless to say, the fair attracted huge crowds – upwards of 53,000 visitors in total.

Of the 535 domestic and international participants in this year’s Invention Competition, 14 received the ultimate honor: the highly coveted Platinum Medal. A further 90 took home a gold medal, while winners of silver and bronze medals numbered 87 and 122, respectively.

The Three Major Themed Pavilions (Innovation Pilot, Future Tech and Sustainability) showcased the government’s latest achievements in the field of R&D, highlighting the significant strides that have been made in the areas of pandemic and disaster prevention, digital services, precision health and the Green Supply Chain.

Taking place alongside the expo were 21 conferences, including an innovation technology forum as well as research and tech networking seminars. Here, participants got a chance to survey the latest patented technologies from Taiwan and abroad. It is hoped that the Innotech Expo becomes an indispensable platform for technological collaboration and partnership between Taiwanese and international R&D companies and start-ups.
