TAIWAN EXPO 2025 in Malaysia: Generated business opportunities worth USD 88 mil
TAIWAN EXPO 2025 in Malaysia successfully concluded on June 25th at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. This year's event was themed 'Empowering the Next Era' and showcased Taiwan's cutting-edge technologies, innovative solutions, and vibrant culture across key sectors including smart manufacturing, health and wellness, sustainability, as well as culture and tourism. The three-day expo attracted more than 14,000 visitors and generated business opportunities valued at USD 88 mil, highlighting the strong momentum in the deepening industrial collaboration between Taiwan and Malaysia. Zones featuring AI innovation were some of the biggest hits of the event and clearly showcased Taiwan's forward-looking AI industrial capabilities and integrated applications. Key exhibits include Nuwa Robotics' dual-screen advertising service robot, Collibot, which was designed for use in shopping malls, education, healthcare and services sectors. Collibot served as a guide during the exhibition and visitors interacted with the robot via voice or touch panel and received real-time directions to help them navigate the event hall. It drew keen interest from several Malaysian shopping centres and medical institutions, highlighting the practical potential of AI service robots in societies facing aging populations and labour shortages. Touché solutions presented its groundbreaking 'T-Skin' technology, which enhances safety during human-robot interactions. The innovation received high praise from Industry 4.0 and smart factory sectors and even attracted representatives from the Malaysian government who expressed interest in promoting the technology in local manufacturing through supportive policies. In the green sustainability sector, Hsing Chung Molded Pulp stood out with its eco-friendly packaging solutions made from molded pulp. This sustainable product underscored the immense market opportunities in the green market and drew the interest of several Malaysian food distributors. Foremost Champion showcased innovative materials such as pineapple fiber leather and windshield adhesive film leather which caught the attention of Malaysian agricultural and recycling industries. Many local pineapple plantations and recycling companies acknowledged that they are struggling to handle the glut of agricultural waste and had expressed strong interest in Taiwan's technologies that upcycle such waste into high-value materials. They hope to establish cross-border collaborations in technology and raw material supply to jointly build a sustainable agricultural waste value chain. Flexwave presented its high-efficiency energy storage system along with its weather-resistant arc solar box and solar-navi system designed to power outdoor IoT devices. The solutions attracted many buyers in the clean energy and smart agriculture sectors. As for the health and wellness sector, newcomer Trida IGIBAN made a strong debut with its artificial skin and wound dressings. The product attracted collaboration interest from YSP Industries and a well-known Malaysian pharmacy and personal care retail chain. Many visitors also inquired about purchasing channels for the various other products showcased in the exhibition. China Medical University Hospital (Taiwan) is exploring potential collaboration with KL Wellness City as it aims to introduce Taiwan's smart hospital management expertise and facilitate medical data analysis exchanges. Over the years, TAIWAN EXPO — organized by the International Trade Administration and executed by TAITRA— has proved itself to be a vital platform for economic and trade cooperation between Malaysia and Taiwan, and this eighth outing is the most successful yet. This year's exhibition attracted several major Malaysian conglomerates and key buyers, including IOI Group (one of Malaysia's top 10 business conglomerates in Malaysia), SP Setia (Malaysia's top three property developer), BP Healthcare Group, and the renowned retail chain Caring Pharmacy. Buyers expressed great interest in the numerous AI applications on display and were particularly impressed by Taiwan's green technologies and energy-efficient building materials and equipment. To further promote Taiwan's AI capabilities, the second day of the Expo featured the 'Smart Upgrade: Taiwan AI Technology & Application Seminar,' where 11 leading AI companies presented innovative applications in smart manufacturing, digital finance, facial recognition, robotics, and healthcare. The seminar attracted over 120 professional buyers which led to many sessions of business networking and collaboration. Through this year's Expo, Malaysia and Taiwan have managed to strengthen their ties in technology application, industrial innovation, and cultural exchange which further reinforced Taiwan's key role in the ASEAN market. TAIWAN EXPO 2025 in Malaysia has once again highlighted Taiwan's global leadership position in technology and sustainable development. —June 30, 2025 Main image: Taiwan Expo
