Taiwan’s strengths on show at BioTaiwan Exhibition

BioTaiwan has grown in step with Taiwan's development as a biotech regional powerhouse and is now one of Asia's most important biotech-themed gatherings. It's also a great chance to see first hand examples of the direction Taiwan is heading and the opportunities that are opening up, particularly with the convergence of digital and medical technologies.

For example, speakers and exhibitors highlighted Taiwan's existing strengths in ICT, and growing capabilities in the newly emerging realms of IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (artificial intelligence); all of which are transferable to medical device development, device-drug combinations, digital health/mobile health/e-health.

With precision medicine being a focus of many of BioTaiwan's meetings, it's also clear that Taiwan is well placed to take a leading role by combining capabilities in drug development, diagnostics, devices and utilizing Big Data analytics methodology.

All sectors of the life science industry in Taiwan, including biotech, pharma, diagnostics and medical devices, are currently undergoing high levels of growth. BioTaiwan 2017 has concluded, and it was another exciting and memorable occasion. We look forward to seeing you all again  in 2018 !
