Taitronics set to open in October

Taitronics, one of the world's biggest electronics exhibtions, will open its doors in Taiwan from October 7 to 11 when visitors from all over the world are expected to converge on more than 1000 exhibitors and 2400 stands in Taipei.

Running concurrently with the event are the Taiwan International RFID Applications Show, Broadband Taiwan and the Taiwan International Photovoltaic Forum and Exhibition.

This 34th Taipei international show is organised by TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) and TEEMA (Taiwan Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association) and is being held at the Nangang Exhibition Hall in the newly opened and purpose-built Taipei World Trade Centre.

The exhibition complex has space for nearly 25,000 stands, eight conference rooms that can be expanded to 13 and dining facilities.

Cables and connectors, meters and instruments, and components and electronics for motor vehicles will be on display along with IC designs, security systems, communications equipment and computer peripherals.

LEDs and lighting feature strongly as the Taiwanese government aims to increase solar energy supply capacity from the 2004 level of 1.2 MW to 21 MW by 2010. The volume of photovoltaic products is expected to rise seven-fold from 2005 to 2009.

Also on display will be the latest developments in Wi-Fi at the Wi-Fi Alliance Pavilion, fibre broadband equipment, testing and certification procedures and electronics manufacturing equipment.

As well as exhibitions there is a photovoltaic conference and an RFID conference. The current worldwide interest in broadband is reflected in a two-day conference that is expected to attract more than 400 delegates from 17 countries.
