2022 "Taiwan Innotech Expo" (TIE) will be presented in a Hybrid manner, with the physical exhibition taking place from October 13th to 15th at Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall 1, featuring over 400 exhibitors utilizing nearly a thousand booths. The online exhibition will be held from October 11th to 20th, allowing visitors to engage in online interactions and discussions with exhibitors. The combination of physical and online exhibitions will showcase innovative achievements from both domestic and international inventors. Taiwanese inventors have recently achieved remarkable success at the 2022 Korea WiC World Innovation Contest held in August, winning an impressive total of 28 gold, 6 silver, and 3 bronze awards, ranking as the top international awardee and further highlighting Taiwan's innovative prowess. This year's Innotech Expo will comprise three main exhibition areas: "Invention Competition Zone," "Three Major Theme Pavilions," and "Public Service Zone." The diverse range of exhibits and technological items include more than 500 entries from domestic and international inventors, schools, and groups competing for platinum awards in the Invention Competition Zone. Exhibiting inventors will have the opportunity to communicate closely with local visitors, as well as engage in diverse exchanges with international inventors and related industry players, effectively showcasing their innovative technologies and expanding commercial opportunities for the showcased innovative works.
This year's Innotech Expo features numerous exhibits related to healthcare and daily life in the post-pandemic era. One example is the "Intelligent Hand Hygiene Device and Its Monitoring System" by Asia University of Science and Technology, designed to address the impact of the pandemic and aging population. Users can wear an identity-sensing bracelet to record handwashing times and body temperature, and transmit blood oxygen data into user profiles to detect potential infections early. Additionally, visitors to the expo will have the chance to explore the mysteries of new technologies, including highly sought-after applications like semiconductors, 5G communication, and AI. The team from Feng Chia University has developed the "Virtual Navigation Path Generation Method," which differs from conventional augmented reality systems and generates virtual paths with accurate proportions and relative positions, achieving optimal AR navigation effects using cutting-edge technology.
The current Innotech Expo also aligns with the trend of zero carbon emissions and ESG, featuring a variety of low-carbon, energy-saving, and sustainable inventions. These innovative ideas contribute to protecting the planet. An example is the "Method and Apparatus for Making Curved Structures in Paper Straws," which addresses environmental issues caused by traditional plastic straws and improves the bending limitation of paper straws. This invention has gained attention from domestic and international manufacturers amidst active plastic reduction policies globally.
