Taiwan Innovation Fair & Share is a month-long on- and offline conference organized by Taiwan Globalization Network (TGN) and Tiger Accelerator between October 7 and November 6. The conference will highlight Taiwanese technology, innovations, and businesses opportunities to an international audience through an online trade fair exhibition and a series of hybrid live events. European and international stakeholders are invited to join the conference and explore ways to connect with Taiwan’s robust tech & business ecosystem.
The online exhibition, presented through the Whova platform, will showcase over 100 innovative companies in the Life Sciences, MedTech, IoT, and AI sectors. For the entire month, visitors will be able to browse through the product offerings of the many participating companies through a virtual exhibition hall. Visitors will also be able to engage the companies directly on the exhibition platform through a live chat, as well as attend scheduled live demonstrations and e-meetings, where they can connect with representatives from the exhibitors. The companies exhibiting in the online fair will include start-ups, scale-ups and corporations. Within the conference platform, contact information for the participating companies will also be available for further communications.
