“Taiwan, a leader in chip manufacturing, aims to enhance supply chain resilience by collaborating with India to establish a wafer fab, aligning with the “Make in India” initiative. Taiwan’s AI capabilities will bolster India’s “Digital India” and “Smart Cities” initiatives, setting new milestones in the global technology manufacturing industry.”
Cynthia Kiang highlighted India’s position as the world’s second-largest manufacturer of footwear and textiles.
With the global “China+1” strategy in effect, India has become a key production base for supply chain relocation. TITA introduced a “Cross-Industry Alliances” approach, integrating petrochemical, machinery, and textile industries for joint marketing promotion.
At this Expo, TAITRA and the Taiwan Textile Federation established the “Smart Manufacturing Pavilion” and the “Sustainable & Innovation Textile Pavilion,” showcasing Taiwan’s intelligent and efficient solutions in petrochemical, shoemaking, and textile processes to capture business opportunities in India.
