2011 Taiwan's International Cultural and Creative Industries Expo— Central America's Mayan and Indigenous Culture Exhibition

2011-08-29

Local features and indigenous cultures are common developing themes for the international cultural and creative industries. Cultural features are the major factor used in shaping the value of the merchandize. Central America possesses the unique and highly distinctive Mayan Culture in the realm of its cultural and creative industries, the best choices for solidifying brand power. While the mysterious Mayan Culture motivates a fountain of inspiration for the local creators, its application covers a wide range of items: from clothing and home accessories, to household items and others, high in originality and creative value. They are some of the Central American industries that have development potential.

To find Taiwan companies, or design studios developing extended Central American cultural products, and to help with the pervasion of Central American culture and identification, our office will participate in The Second Taiwan International Cultural and Creative Industries Expo, held at Nangang Exhibition Hall from September 8 through 11.
