2015/11/27
Taiwan’s annual Information Technology Month electronics show will kick off Nov. 28 in Taipei, before touring Taichung, Kaohsiung and Tainan cities, according to organizer Taipei Computer Association.
A total of 1,425 booths by 305 exhibitors are expected to draw up to 950,000 visitors to the Taipei World Trade Center during the nine-day Taipei leg, TCA said, adding that it projects overall revenue will top NT$10 billion (US$308 million) for the event.
“Interconnectivity is the theme running through this year’s IT Month expo,” TCA Secretary-General Enoch Du said. “The event will feature a diverse array of exhibitions and pavilions showcasing Taiwan’s advances in Internet of Things and smart living applications.”
The displays will highlight cutting-edge 4G communications, electronic payment, mobile Internet, multimedia and telematics services, Du added, with focus placed on the business opportunities created by cross-domain integration and the emerging maker culture.
Local IT heavyweights Acer Inc. and AsusTek Computer Inc. are expected to roll out their latest product lines at the event, with the former holding a live demonstration of Cloud Professor, the world’s first IoT development kit designed for educational purposes.
HTC Corp. will also take this opportunity to present the Taiwan debut of the company’s highly acclaimed virtual reality head-mounted display Vive, while Soft-World International Corp. is set to unveil its third-party mobile payment solution Pay2go.
“We are more than confident the expo will serve to underscore Taiwan’s significant progress in promoting 4G communications, big data, cloud computing and IoT technology applications for real-life scenarios,” Du said.
The 2015 IT Month will run until Dec. 6 in Taipei, before making its next stops in Taichung Dec. 11-16 and Kaohsiung Dec. 24-29. The show is scheduled to wrap up with an encore in Tainan Jan. 8-13 next year.
