With 28 years of experience, COMPUTEX TAIPEI is already the first choice procurement platform for both foreign and local buyers. The COMPUTEX TAIPEI period in Taiwan is known as the "Annual Golden Week" for the domestic ICT industry. That's because the ICT industry, coupled with the electronics sector, composes the chief part of the Taiwan economy and plays a vital role in global production.

One reason for the global role of Taiwan's ICT industry can be traced directly back to the international marketing platform that is provided at COMPUTEX TAIPEI which is Asia's largest and the second largest in the world. And one of the winning approaches used by COMPUTEX TAIPEI has been the large-scale procurement meetings on the opening day of the show which allows buyers to lay down their exact specification to exhibitors. In those opening day session there were about a thousand meetings held over the course of a few hours.

A full menu of things to do and see like the Taiwan Show Case of Excellence, COMPUFORUM, EXECUTIVE FORUM, Opening Ceremony, Buyers' Night, Industry and Cultural Tours , and much more that let the ICT world touch the heart of Taiwan.

Taipei CYCLE is one of the top three cycle trade exhibitions in the world. In 2008, This event cosponsored by TAITRA and Taiwan Bicycle Exporters’ Association (TBEA) came with a magnitude that smashed all records and underscored the strength of the bicycle for years to come.
