Apart from this at an international press conference Dress the Future, organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) at ITMA 2015, Taiwan’s textile machinery industry discussed the three key topics – technology, sustainability and innovation.
In just 50 years, Taiwan has transformed from an agricultural economy to one of the most technologically advanced countries not only in Asia, but worldwide. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014, Taiwan ranked eighth in terms of innovation and was the top nation globally in terms of the state of its cluster development.
A large part of Taiwan’s success can be attributed to the machinery industry’s success of positioning themselves as key players in the international market. Evidence of this is demonstrated by the export figures which show an increase in exports of 2.9%, from US 3.41 billion in 2014 to US 3.51 billion in 2015.
The mix of innovation and green technology, and the ability of Taiwanese companies to respond efficiently to the needs of the international market, in terms of producing eco-sustainable products and machinery, is said to have enabled Taiwan’s companies to gain considerable market share and have allowed Taiwanese producers to increase their exports to China, the United States, Japan and Italy.
The Director of the Taiwan Trade Center Milano, Ms Fu Ling Huang said that it has been an honour for them to support and promote Taiwan’s presence at ITMA, a country with the highest density of high tech companies and is first in the world for patent activity.
Their participation in Milan is definitely a great opportunity for their textile industry and will help businesses acquire a higher level of competitiveness in the global market. Exhibitions play an important role in the development of their companies, they offer the opportunity to show high quality and innovative technology that is environmentally conscious.
