TAIPEI, Taiwan – 22 industry-leading companies join the German Pavilion at Automation Taipei 2023 from August 23 to 26. With a covered area of 80 booths, it is the largest German Pavilion of all time at Automation Taipei. The companies provide top-notch solutions for the latest industry trend “twin transition”, which combines traditional industrial automation with the concepts of "digital transformation" and "ESG green transformation’’ to improve production efficiency and achieve sustainable operations. The German Pavilion, which is organized by the German Trade Office Taipei through its service unit DEinternational Taiwan Ltd., is split into two pavilions located at TaiNEX Hall 1, Floor 1 (Entrance between Area J & Area K) and TaiNEX Hall 2, Floor 1 (Entrance of Area P, P500).
A VIP tour including Premier of the Executive Yuan Mr. Chen Chien-jen and Secretary General to the President Mr. Lin Chia-lung stopped over at the German Pavilion after the opening ceremony. The Chief Representative and Executive Director of the German Trade Office Taipei Mr. Limberg welcomed the tour members and introduced the German Pavilion to them.
“Germany is known worldwide for high-quality products, inventing the concept of Industry 4.0 and attaching great importance to sustainability,” stated Mr. Limberg. “Our German Pavilion promotes twin transition concepts by combining all these factors. We are proud that our exhibitors not only provide classical components for automated production facilities, but also present their cutting-edge innovations that intertwine digital and green technologies.”
By applying a twin transition approach, companies can benefit from increased efficiency and productivity while becoming more sustainable at the same time. However, many companies still struggle with implementing their concepts or are not even aware of possible benefits. Thus, Mr. Limberg emphasized: “Automation Taipei is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the concepts of ‘twin transition’. Our exhibitors offer a wide range of products and services ‘made in Germany’ that are crucial for its implementation. They are willing and ready to partner with Taiwanese companies to intertwine their digital with green transitions to achieve more cost-efficient and sustainable production processes.”
