2005 Taxes

Re: [spiers] Re: 2005

I'm not sure what product/service area Peter is interested in, but ....
the government-funded export promotion agency is TAITRA, I think at
Taitra.org.tw. They have a product / supplier matching service and
regular events.

They also run a very cool "intro to Taiwan" service including free
Taipei tour and lunch! Check it out at:

While in Taipei, it may be worth a look to walk the endless aisles of
the Taiwan World Trade center, where companies have static displays of
products. Unlikely to find much innovation there, because the
innovative stuff is being developed by yourself!

The above research will yield the areas that Taiwan's companies are
focussing on innovating. Some interesting products in the area of green
building technology (power LEDs), specialty agriculture (Wufeng rice is
so good it is coveted in Japan), and most of the world's high-end
bicycles are made around Taichung.

I, too, would be interested in observations from the front lines, and
let me know if I can help as I am somewhat familiar with the place.
