Taipei, March 1 (CNA) The annual Taipei International Cycle Show will kick off Wednesday, with organizers saying they expect the four-day event to break last year’s record by generating more than US$560 million in business opportunities.

Peter Huang (黃文榮), president and CEO of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), said Tuesday that the bike industry remains resilient and competitive, even though Taiwan is struggling with slow exports.

The exhibition, to be held in the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall and TWTC Exhibition Hall 1, will showcase the strength of Taiwan’s bike manufacturers, Huang said.     [FULL  STORY]
