News this week: Last week, the 34th edition of Computex
Taipei, co-organised by the Taiwan
External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taipei Computer Association (TCA), concluded with the participation of
over 1,700 exhibitors spread over 5,000 exhibition booths. The five-day show
covered three venues: Nangang Exhibition Hall, Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) and exhibition halls 1 and 3 at the Taipei
World Trade Center.
Billed as Asia’s
largest computer show, Computex ran from 3rd to 7th June
and drew more than 38,600 buyers from 166 countries - up 1% vs. last year. The
top 10 overseas visitors originated from China, the U.S., Japan, Hong Kong,
Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Germany, and Russia. The largest increase
in visitor attendance was reportedly from the U.A.E. (22%), the Philippines
(19%) and Sweden (16%).
Walter Yeh, TAITRA’s
executive vice president, attributed the increases to newly established direct
flights between Dubai and Taipei and TAITRA’s new office in the Philippines. TAITRA
also organised 1,840 one-on-one procurement meetings between exhibitors and buyers,
with key buyers including Siemens AG, Hisense, Toshiba, MA Laboratories, and
Best Buy.
