Green Trade Project Office (GTPO), the international trade promotion arm of the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs will organize the Green Technology Pavillion at the upcoming Taiwan Expo 2017.

The event will take place from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at SMX Convention Center Manila, Mall of Asia Complex. The event will bring together renowned Taiwanese companies who will be introducing their latest products for the first time here in the Philippines.

The Green Technology Pavillion will focus green technologies with applications specifically for the Philippine market with practical products and solutions aimed at improving the quality of life for the Filipinos. To name but a few, TECO will display its fiveseater electric tricycle specifically designed for the local market. Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS), on the other hand, will showcase their 50-megawatt solar power plant in Palo.

Another featured company called Sun Rise E&T Corp. will show its Solar Floating System, which can be installed in fish farms, bringing the farmers both value of fishery harvesting and electricity production. As the Philippines is recognized for its abundance in geothermal energy potential, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), will display its Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems for the first time at the show.

Taiwan Expo 2017 will also demonstrate Taiwan’s ability to provide total solution through system integration of renewable energy technologies, energy storage, energy-saving management systems, transmission and distribution through power supply. By applying these technologies, the country and its various islands will be able to gain solutions and achieve self-sufficiency and sustainability in the years to come.

As an added feature, there will also be an interactive game for visitors and trade buyers to take part and gain a better understanding of the micro-grid.

The GTPO is sponsored by the Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan and serves as the primary think tank and accelerator to help craft policies to support development of green trade in Taiwan.

Starting this year, GTPO, through the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), a non-profit trade promotion organization in Taiwan, has been tasked to enhance the local green industry and products for export.
