TAITRA and Tokyo Big Sight sign MoU


News this week: Last week, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Tokyo Big Sight signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the cooperation between the two organisations.

The MoU was signed by TAITRA president and CEO, Chao Yuen-chuan, and Tokyo Big Sight Inc’s president and CEO, Kenichi Shimada. According to TAITRA, the number of professional exhibitions in Japan last year was four times that of Taiwan, while international conventions were 2.2 times.

Chao commented, “Tokyo Big Sight was established only 16 years ago, but now it is the most important exhibition managing company in Japan with yearly earnings of more than US$266 million and the highest utilisation rates. We should be able to learn from their experience after signing the MoU… Tokyo Big Sight has been looking to expand its overseas business, and signing the MoU is one way to do that.”
