Taiwan Expo 2025, largest edition in series, showcases latest innovations
KUALA LUMPUR: Taiwan Expo 2025, the largest edition in the series to date, has commenced at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, with artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare technologies taking centre stage.
Organised under Taiwan's flagship global exhibition platform, Taiwan Expo aims to deepen international business ties and promote its strengths in innovation and advanced manufacturing.
The eighth edition of the expo in Malaysia features more than 200 companies and showcases Taiwan's latest innovations across AI, healthcare, green technology and smart manufacturing.
Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said the focus of Taiwan Expo is in sync with the development direction of Malaysia's manufacturing industry.
'It provides our businesses with a platform to explore new partnerships, adopt innovative solutions, and expand into new markets. This direct engagement is essential for nurturing our local industries and driving them towards greater competitiveness on the global stage,' he said at the opening ceremony yesterday, which was also attended by Taipei Economic and Cultural Office representative in Malaysia Phoebe Yeh and Selangor Exco for Investment, Trade and Mobility Ng Sze Han.
Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the global supply chain for semiconductors, information and communication technology, and smart manufacturing.
'Taiwan's technical expertise is recognised by the international community and would synergise with Malaysia's role as an important manufacturing and export hub in Asia,' said the organiser.
According to Matrade China and Northeast Asia Section director Mazlan Harun, in the first five months of this year, Malaysia's trade with Taiwan jumped by 36.8% reaching RM92.77 billion. Malaysia's exports to Taiwan stood at RM32.3 billion while imports surged to RM60.47 billion, marking growth rates of 30.6% and 40.3% respectively, continuing the positive momentum in 2024.
'The trade composition underscores a high degree of industrial complementarity, particularly in electrical and electronic products, optical and scientific equipment as well as petroleum-based goods, reflecting both economies' strategic roles in regional and global value chains,' he added.
Mazlan said Taiwan's strengths in innovation, product development and manufacturing offer practical entry points for Malaysian companies, especially SMEs, to explore partnerships and build supply chain connections.
'At the same time, Malaysia's capabilities in halal products, food and beverage, and smart manufacturing, combined with its strategic position as a gateway to Asean and OIC markets, provide Taiwanese businesses with promising prospects for expansion.
'This shared potential continues to strengthen the foundation for long-term business growth and cooperation, particularly through platforms such as Taiwan Expo.'
The expo highlights five key themes – smart manufacturing, health and wellness, sustainability, culture and tourism, reflecting industrial trends that align closely with Malaysia's economic priorities.
Taiwan Expo 2025 is supported by 26 Malaysian industry associations and groups, which indicates the great importance local industry players attach to the event.
A total of 32 leading AI firms from Taiwan are showcasing their range of products and solutions including smart manufacturing, medical technologies, cybersecurity, finance and education services.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia-Taiwan trade has flourished with bilateral trade surging by 36.8 per cent to RM92.77 billion in the first five months of this year, said Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). MATRADE China, Northeast Asia, ASEAN and Oceania director Mazlan Harun said Malaysia's exports to Taiwan stood at RM32.30 billion while imports surged to RM60.47 billion during this period, marking growth rates of 30.6 per cent and 40.3 per cent, respectively, a continuing positive momentum in 2024.

He said while trade figures reflect strong performance, it is the tangible business opportunities that truly drive the partnership forward. "Taiwan's strengths in innovation, product development and manufacturing offer practical entry points for Malaysian companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to explore partnerships and build supply chain connections.
