The Taiwan Excellence Award, an initiative of the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign
Trade and managed by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA),
represents the innovative and technological image of Taiwan's most competitive
industries. It is a symbol of outstanding reliability, innovation and
value.
The Government of India's Smart Cities Mission is intended to transform
the lives and living conditions of the citizens of the country. Recognizing
Smart Cities as an important platform that drives progressive change,
the 3rd Smart Cities India Expo is building on the success of its previous
editions by providing a common platform for discussions on important issues
and upcoming technologies to stakeholders who are developing smart cities.
Several Taiwanese-based companies are already collaborating with governments
across the world to provide smart solutions in various areas ranging from
increasing carbon usage efficiency to renewable energy and hardware solutions.
Taiwanese-based organizations like Billion Electric Co. Ltd, Taiwan Telematics
Industry Association, and the Changhua Coastal Industrial Park, along
with many others, are involved in stellar smart projects in different
countries. Taiwanese ICT brands also have a longstanding goodwill when
it comes to the idea of 'smart living', which is the cornerstone of a
mission like smart cities. ICT solutions enhance people's lives by helping
improve public services and the quality of life of their communities.
Taiwan Excellence believes that initiatives like Smart Cities have given
impetus to joint ventures with India since Taiwan's New Southbound Policy,
introduced by President Tsai Ing-wen, seeks to promote the country's ties
with the 10 ASEAN nations, which includes India.

Said Michael Lin, Director of the Taipei World Trade Centre Liaison Office
in Mumbai,"The 'smart' component of a smart city rests largely on
critical ICT solutions that have the power to give a boost to smart living.
Taiwan has been boasting an array of great smart ICT solutions around
the world for many years. We are looking forward to providing our expertise
for India's Smart Cities mission because we believe that India has a huge
regard for innovation and cutting-edge technology products. We are eager
to join hands with India and share our experience in technology and smart
living tools which can benefit government agencies, the environment and
residents."
India's urban population is estimated to grow three timesby year 2031.
The creation of 100 smart cities, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, assumes significance in this context as it provides an impetus for
improved infrastructure and essential services to citizens and enterprises.
