Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the "Taipei International Plastics and Rubber Industry Show (TaipeiPLAS) and "Taipei International Shoe Making Technology Show (ShoeTech Taipei)", originally scheduled in September 2020, have been postponed to be held at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1 from September 28 to October 2, 2021. Still, the new schedule will let manufacturers continue expanding their markets and seizing business opportunities after the pandemic.
In response to the pandemic, knowing that industry players have high demands for market expansion and new product launches, the show organizers, Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI), thus hosted in September this year the TaipeiPLAS Digital Week, including live online seminars, online interviews, online new product launches and online joint procurement meetings. The week-long event has enjoyed more than 150,000 views and clicks, once again proving that TaipeiPLAS is one of the leading plastics and rubber industry trade shows in Asia, especially its discussion topics and innovative technologies on display.
Again, since TaipeiPLAS and ShoeTech Taipei have been rescheduled to the end of September next year, the duos will introduce a hybrid of virtual and in-person events so as to connect suppliers and buyers around the world for more business opportunities.
