Representatives from major participating nations, such as India, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, South Korea, Thailand and the U.S., are to stage a vast array of performances during the four-day event to boost sales.
According to TVA Chairwoman Janice Lai, this year’s TITF is projected to generate NT$2 billion in business revenue. She attributes the fair’s success to its heightened role in facilitating industry exchanges and transactions. [FULL STORY]
