A major sourcing event is set to kick off on the 28th March in Taipei City as the Chinese government looks to help local businesses overcome the difficulties they have faced from the global economic slowdown.
The event ‘Sourcing Taiwan’ has been organised by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and has already seen 1,560 local suppliers sign up to attend as well as 560 buyers from 59 different countries.
Chang Chun-Fu, deputy director-general of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau of Foreign Trade, told Taiwan Today that “The promotion is forecast to create US$4.6bn in business opportunities for the island’s firms, with the information and communications technology and machinery sectors accounting for over half of this number.”
The event will be held over two days at the World Trade Centre and will see goods available from LED, auto-parts to bio-technology products.
