The opening ceremony was hosted by Simon Wang, President & CEO of TAITRA, and kicked off with a high energy 24-festive drum performance that symbolises the cultural integration and enthusiasm for the growing cooperation between Malaysia and Taiwan.

Many VIPs graced the opening ceremony, including Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia Ms. Phoebe Yeh; Selangor State Government EXCO of Investment, Trade, and Mobility YB Tuan Ng Sze Han; MATRADE China & Northeast Asia Section Director Mr. Mazlan Harun; Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM) President Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai; and more.

This year’s Taiwan Expo has received the support from 26 Malaysian industry associations and groups which indicates the great importance local industry players attach to the event.

Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the global supply chain for semiconductors, information and communication technologies, as well as smart manufacturing.

Taiwan’s technical expertise is recognized by the international community and would synergize perfectly with Malaysia’s role as an important manufacturing and export hub in Asia.

YBhg Tan Sri Dato' Soh Thian Lai remarked that the exhibition has many forward-looking contents that the local industry should find interesting and the focus of Taiwan Expo is highly in-sync with the development direction of Malaysia’s manufacturing industry and serves as an important platform for promoting technological exchanges and industrial advancements.
