Showcasing AI and Green Sustainability Market

Smart technology AI and green sustainability are two major development trends in modern society.

James Chang, Director of the Economic Division at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia, mentioned in his speech that TITA and TAITRA will launch the "Go Green with Taiwan" campaign this year. "We welcome Malaysians to submit proposals on environmental or economic sustainability using Taiwanese products. The best three proposals will have the opportunity to collaborate with Taiwanese companies, promoting bilateral cooperation and ensuring a better future for the next generation.”

Among the participating brands at the "Taiwan Excellence Wanderland Pop-Up Store 2024”, many products focus on smart AI and green technology. Examples include ADATA's PCR eco-friendly External Hard Drives, Aspire Vero Eco-Friendly Green PC, Atunas All Love Eco-Circular Shirts Collection and Oceanwave Eco-friendly Bodyguard. The smart technology sector features IPEVO's and AVer's smart conferencing products, and Chimei Motor's AI DSM Digital Side View Monitoring System. These products reflect Taiwan's excellence in innovation, design, quality, intelligence, and pursuit of green sustainability.

James Chang continued, "Introducing and promoting AI and green sustainability products can not only improve people's quality of life but also promote sustainable development, achieving a win-win situation for environmental protection and economic growth.”
