For more than a decade, Taiwan Excellence has led the way in promoting Taiwanese smart solutions across various sectors in India. The Taiwan government is actively cultivating strong bilateral trade relations with India, evident from the growing interest among Indian consumers and government officials in Taiwanese innovations.
Speaking about Taiwan Excellence's 7th year at Taiwan Expo, Mr. Brian Lee – Director, Strategic Marketing Department, TAITRA remarked, "India's rapid economic growth presents an exceptional market for Taiwan's government and businesses. There is increasing demand from Indian stakeholders for Taiwanese innovations, motivating us to bring the best of Taiwan to India."
“Taiwan can significantly contribute to India's healthcare, ICT, and construction sectors. India is already recognized for its quality healthcare, and with advanced technology, it can achieve global leadership. Both the construction and ICT sectors have also experienced substantial growth and transformation in India, where technology will continue to play a pivotal role,” added Mr. Lee
Recent trade figures underscore this sentiment, showing a significant upward trajectory in bilateral ties between India and Taiwan. Preliminary talks on a free-trade agreement between the two countries have already commenced. Taiwanese enterprises have invested over USD 4 billion in India, spanning industries from footwear and machinery to automobile components, petrochemicals, and ICT products.
