Taiwan Expo in India 2024 Accelerates Taiwan-India Cooperation

James Huang, Chairman of TAITRA, in his speech, stated that since 2018, India has risen in the global manufacturing sector, offering excellent services that align with international trends and becoming a popular regional manufacturing hub. Taiwan, as a strong player in chip manufacturing, aims to enhance supply chain resilience and is set to collaborate with India to establish a wafer fab, perfectly aligning with the “Make in India” initiative. With Taiwan’s AI prowess, the “Digital India” and “Smart Cities” initiatives will lead Taiwan and India to set new milestones in the global technology manufacturing industry.

Cynthia Kiang, Director General of TITA pointed out that India is currently the world’s second-largest manufacturer of footwear and textiles. With the global brands’ “China+1” strategy taking effect, India has become a production base for supply chain relocation. This year, TITA introduced an innovative approach of “Cross-Industry Alliances,” integrating petrochemical, machinery, and textile industries for joint marketing promotion. At this Expo, TAITRA and the Taiwan Textile Federation established the “Smart Manufacturing Pavilion” and the ” Sustainable & Innovation Textile Pavilion,” showcasing Taiwan’s intelligent and efficient solutions in petrochemical, shoemaking, and textile processes to demonstrate Taiwan’s industrial energy and capture vast business opportunities in India.

Bau Shuan Ger, Representative of TECC in India, expressed his belief that the longstanding partnership between Taiwan and India will continue to strengthen, further impacting the dynamic global market. Mr. Lalduhawma, Chief Minister of Mizoram State, who attended the opening ceremony, highlighted Taiwan’s role as a significant global industrial hub and emphasized the limitless potential for future bilateral cooperation.

To help more excellent New Taipei City enterprises expand into the Indian market, Chu, Tih-Ju, Deputy Mayor, of New Taipei City Government, and Amy Ho, Commissioner of New Taipei City Government, Economic Development Department led 20 well-known businesses to establish the “New Taipei City Pavilion,” focusing on smart cities, electronics and machinery manufacturing, smart healthcare, and e-sports, targeting India’s industrial needs and green transformation opportunities.
