Digital Taipei wrapped up July 14 at Taipei Expo Park, with around 200 buyers from 20 countries and territories including Germany, India, Japan, the Philippines and the U.S. attending Taiwan’s top digital content trade show.

Organized by the Industrial Development Bureau under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the three-day event comprised a series of international forums alongside business matchmaking and talent recruitment sessions. It also featured an exhibition area on animation, blockchain, e-learning, games and sensory technology.

Yen Feng-chi, deputy head of IDB’s Information Technology Industries Division, said Digital Taipei has served as a key platform for bolstering ties between Taiwan and overseas digital content creators, investors and publishers since its launch in 2009.
