First Ever Taiwan Expo USA in Washington DC

Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs (BOFT), and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), today announced the first-ever Taiwan Expo USA, an event to showcase Taiwan's leading technologies, rich culture, vibrant arts, and natural landscapes. This expo aims to highlight the US and Taiwan's robust and buoyant economic ties, including seamless collaboration on building up the resilience of the global supply chain, and to bolster bilateral economic, cultural, and people-to-people connections, especially in tech industries that will drive our future.





The event is set to kick off from October 12 to 14 in Washington DC, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, and will revolve around seven major themes: 5G & Smart Cities, Smart Vehicles, Healthcare, Metaverse, Taiwan Excellence, Culture, and Tourism & Food. Each theme will have a dedicated pavilion, near 100 exhibitors on-site, providing networking opportunities for people across the globe to connect and innovate for future generations to come. The companies in attendance will display Taiwan's leading products and innovations, highlight how these products can create a more sustainable future, and how the US can be a partner in these initiatives.

"We are thrilled to host the first-ever Taiwan Expo USA," said James C. F. Huang, Chairman of TAITRA. "Taiwan Expo USA is a seed of hope that we want to plant, grow and blossom in the lush land of the free, the USA. Together, let us create a better world and a more sustainable future through U.S.-Taiwan cooperation. We hope to gather a large crowd of experts to connect, share ideas and pave the path for future generations."

In addition, there will be two forums – the Smart Mobility forum and Medical Innovation forum. Each forum will have highly regarded thought leaders speak and present during moderated panels. Attendees are welcome to listen in on the panels and connect with speakers onsite.
