The first TAITRONICS India, jointly organized by TWTC (Taipei World Trade Center Co.) and TEEMA (Taiwan Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers' Association) wrapped Sept. 16th. This historic three-day exhibition denoted Taiwan’s first all out drive into South Asia, and welcomes more than 6,000 visitors to its massive trade show at the Chennai Trade Centre. The waves of visitors had exhibitors bustling every moment in order to handle robust interest in Taiwan, her products, and follow up business.
With TAITRONICS India, Taiwan's South Policy has shifted slightly to the East as India’s hot market rolled out the welcoming mat. Governments of both India and Taiwan went all out to guarantee the success of this show. The representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in New Delhi, Mr. Andrew Li-Yan Hsia and the deputy director general of international trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Chun-Fang Hsu, flew into Chennai to add their support for the show.
India's Tamil Nadu State Government also sent several high-ranking officials to observe the exhibition. During the show the government of Tamil Nadu Secretary, Mr. Shaktikanta boosted spirits by announcing that the state is considering the construction of a special economic zone that will be offered exclusively for businesses and small and medium enterprises from Taiwan. To facilitate Taiwan business the government of Tamil Nadu will open a single-window contact point to handle the inquiries and applications from businesses interested in setting up factories in India.
A total of 80 companies from Taiwan participated in TAITRONICS India, chiefly from the electrical, electronic, and machinery products sectors, and several also from the food products industry. A total of 120 booths showcased the most advanced and finest technologies and products. In Chennai this event was headline news covered extensively by the local media.
With the nonstop flow of visitors most Taiwanese businesses were delighted with the outcome. Yu-Yuan Machinery Ind. Co., for example, a major manufacturer of crimping tools for communication, computers, and electrical work equipment, received and signed many orders on site.
In fact 11 companies, including Taiwan Frozen Food Manufacturers' Association, Canmax, King Yuan Fu Packing, and Chin Fu Industrial Corp, were so delighted that they have already signed up for the next year's TAITRONICS India 2008! Most other exhibitors also expressed interest in joining next year’s show.
To meet the need for convenient, customized one-stop procurement, the organizer specially arranged more than 30 one-to-one trade talks, which were highly praised. These special booths were venues of investment and technological exchange that often pulsed with heated discussion and inquiry.
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
Even though this was the very first time for a Taiwan trade show to be staged in India, this event in India’s deep south proved a remarkable success that well surpassed expectations. And that means there’s plenty to build upon when warming up for next year’s TAITRONICS India.
With decades of advanced IT experience, Taiwan has a lost to offer India’s soaring economy as it goes all out to become a leading industrial power. Best yet, both Taiwan and India have just awakened to one another, which means there’s much more room for bilateral trade and many unexplored prospects and opportunities.
With the enthusiasm, business, and friendship generated by this event the TAITRA has decided to stage TAITRONICS India 2008 in an even larger format to include major B2B and B2C platforms.
Meanwhile all buyers and businesses are welcome to come again next year.
