The physical exhibition of the "2023 Taiwan InnoTech Expo"concluded successfully on Oct 14th. During the exhibition period, it attracted nearly 50,000 visitors. Together with outstanding inventors of this year, they witnessed the scientific research achievements. Furthermore, they hope to continue discovering cross-disciplinary invention technologies through this exhibition and through international invention exchanges, making Taiwan an international hub for research and development transactions.
This year's Taiwan InnoTech Expo continued its "Three Theme Pavilions and One Area" presentation format. The "Innovation Pilot Pavilion" featured a semiconductor zone, where leading semiconductor companies like Realtek, MediaTek, Powerchip, TSMC, and Innolux showcased semiconductor technology applications in key areas such as automotive devices, artificial intelligence, and displays. This demonstrated Taiwan's strong capabilities in innovative research and development. In the "Future Tech Pavilion," highlights included AIoT smart applications, zero-emission technology, biotech pharmaceuticals, medical materials, and humanistic technology. National Taipei University of Technology exhibited the "MovableBag+: Substitutional Robot for Immersive Boxing Training with E ncountered-Type Haptic" (Movable Punching Bag), which uses encounter-based haptic feedback technology to simultaneously train a boxer's punching and footwork while integrating VR visual feedback, creating a multi-sensory mobile boxing training system that attracted numerous visitors to experience the thrill of boxing.
The "Sustainability Pavilion" was a collaborative effort between various government departments, including the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Labor, the Industrial Development Administration, the Energy Administration, the Department of State-owned Enterprise Affairs, and the National Atomic Research Institute. It showcased 111 technologies under the themes of In Circular & Regenerative Technology, In Carbon Reduction & Sequestration, and green energy technology. Semisils Applied Materials Corp., Ltd exhibited patented technology for recycling and regenerating semiconductor waste slurry. This technology separates silicon dioxide, silicon carbide, sodium silicate, and green hydrogen from the waste slurry produced in the semiconductor industry and provides recycled materials to the industry, encouraging various sectors to join the green supply chain.
The highest honor in the Asian invention world, the "Platinum Award," was announced at the awards ceremony this morning. The competition for inventions in this session included nearly 530 entries, covering various fields such as semiconductors, information and communications, biotechnology, machinery, and daily necessities. A total of 11 platinum awards, 81 gold awards, 92 silver awards, and 152 bronze awards were presented, totaling 337 award-winning works. The National Atomic Research Institute was the biggest winner of this session, receiving 2 platinum awards, 4 gold, 3 silver, and 5 bronze awards, a total of 15 medals. Foreign invention areas, including the Korea Invention Promotion Association (KIPA), the Indonesian Invention and Innovation Promotion Association (INNOPA), and the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), made significant achievements when they visited Taiwan. The exhibition also provided opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and development talent exchange between countries, with the hope of showcasing more innovative ideas in the future.
The three-day exhibition of the "2023 Taiwan InnoTech Expo" has successfully concluded. The next session will be held from October 17 to 19, 2024, at the Taipei World Trade Center, continuing to play the role of the best exhibition for showcasing inventions and innovation and facilitating exchanges.
