Immense success in every aspect for Food Taipei 2007

The recently concluded Food Taipei 2007, Foodtech Taipei 2007 and Taipei Pack 2007 at the Taipei World Trade Centre (TWTC) was a success in every aspect - from number of exhibitors to visitors attendance to the successful profiling of upstream and downstream industry players - and everything in between.

Featuring a fascinating trio of great food-related shows, Foodtech Taipei 2007 was organised by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), which ended on June 24. Visitor’s attendance soared - even with a restricted admission, 40,000 visitors came up, both local and abroad, with 2,800 international buyers present.

These three side-to-side events perfectly profiled the industry from up to downstream. International buyers from every corner of the world were pleasantly surprised at the plurality and international character of the exhibition. They were offered with the latest R&D and quality manufactured Taiwanese food machinery and packaging industries.

Food Taipei 2007 also set a new record in joining 615 domestic and international exhibitors who used 1,583 booths. Food Taipei was held alongside Foodtech Taipei and Taipei Pack to offer buyers every perspective on food and its related industries. The three shows facilitated vertical and horizontal integration and enabled international buyers and investors to thoroughly grasp everything from the upstream manufacturing process and machinery to the downstream packaging and products.

Foodtech Taipei 2007 attracted large domestic food machinery manufacturers while Taipei Pack 2007 gathered equally important manufacturers. With a total of 126 domestic and international exhibitors and 365 booths, the scale increased by 14.6% and 20.1% respectively from previous sessions.

Apart from the event, TAITRA and co-organisers planned seven seminars and forums, highlighting the different areas of concern within the global food industry. The events have proved to be a success, with the exhibition and trade, the seminars, forums and meetings have brought the most updated information and creating substantial business opportunities for all involved.
