T
he Taiwan Expo 2024 in Indonesia successfully concluded on May 18 in Jakarta. The theme of this exhibition, "Toward a Better Tomorrow" not only symbolized the collaborative efforts of Indonesia and Taiwan but also vividly represented their shared belief and determination to create a green future.
The Expo attracted over 15,000 visitors from various sectors over three days, creating business opportunities worth US$90 million. The focus of this exhibition was on innovative achievements in the fields of smart manufacturing, smart medical, green and sustainable, halal and smart lifestyles. It showcased Taiwan's high-quality innovative solutions, technology integration systems, healthcare products and smart home items.
Amid the exhibited products, solutions relating to smart manufacturing and green technology left a strong impression on Indonesian buyers. For example, solutions from Compal Electronics, IBASE Technology, Touché Solutions and Huen Chen Machinery, among others, are gaining favor among Indonesian buyers. Huen Chen Machinery, a first-time participant at the Taiwan Expo, is seeking distributors in Indonesia. Through the exhibition's business meeting sessions, the company not only met with qualified machinery distributors but also held discussions with numerous buyers regarding large riveting machines. The accuracy of the matchmaking has been praised by the company.
In Indonesia, where the climate is hot, Zirco Applied Materials' has a wide range of applications for thermal barrier films. This exhibition also attracted Indonesia’s real estate and channel partners for potential collaboration. A surveillance system manufacturer with its own sales channels and extensive connections is optimistic about the potential of the local market and wants to enter the field of building insulation, visited Zirco's booth three times during the exhibition and showed a high degree of willingness to cooperate.
In compliance with Indonesia’s targeted ban on single-use plastic bags and utensils, eco-friendly products from Taiwan gained the interest of buyers. Wonder Greener's straw products, made from papyrus plants have been attracting interest from hotels, restaurants and other related buyers in Indonesia. The company offers customers a comprehensive solution for recycling straw from planting to manufacturing, helping businesses enhance their ESG brand image.
