Founded in 1992 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, Taiwan Excellence is the highest accolade awarded to a Taiwanese product. Selected annually, the winners represent the most modern and high quality products made by Taiwan. The Taiwan Excellence Showcase tours the world each year to promote Taiwan’s culture of technological innovation and leading-edge design. The exhibition is supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, organized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade, MOEA and implemented by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council.
“In the past decade, Taiwan has emerged as a leading center of innovation on the world stage thanks to visionary companies dedicated to creating groundbreaking new products,” said Cherng-Chuan Su, Director, Taiwan Trade Center in New York. “Our showcase provides a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to experience Taiwan’s forward-thinking technology and research while also offering a glimpse into our culture and traditions.”
“Taiwan’s commitment to research and development, coupled with homegrown creative talent and international resources, have yielded some truly breathtaking products that are among the best in class,” said David J. Reibstein, Professor of Marketing, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania and Marketing Judge. “This exhibition will not only showcase the ‘best of the best’ but also stir excitement for some of the amazing things to come from Taiwan.”
