As the world
shifts towards green energy and sustainable economies, Taiwan has built a
strong portfolio of green products and technologies. The 2024 “Go Green with
Taiwan” global call for proposal event invites proposers worldwide to showcase
their creativity using Taiwan’s sustainable green products and solutions. This
initiative aims to foster international collaboration for global sustainable
development and protect a green planet for future generations. The top three
proposals will each receive a US $20,000 cash prize!
Taiwan’s green
industry is growing rapidly, and Taiwanese companies are becoming ideal
partners for international cooperation in sectors like energy and energy
storage, energy efficiency, low-carbon transportation, green environmental
materials, environmental equipment, and circular economy initiatives. For
example, Delta Electronics, Inc., a global leader in energy management systems,
has implemented electric vehicle-friendly infrastructure at its global offices.
Using the DeltaGrid® EVM as a core charging management system, Delta optimizes
energy distribution through AI analysis of daily usage data, managing EV
charging, solar power generation, and energy storage. This approach has
delivered significant energy cost savings of 15.64% at Delta’s European headquarters
and can be scaled to shopping center parking lots, residential areas, and
office buildings.
Taiwanese
companies are also crucial in the global low-carbon transportation supply
chain. For example, Fukuta Elec. & Mach. Co., Ltd. partnered with Tesla to
reduce the weight of electric vehicle motors from 400 kilograms to under 60
kilograms, meeting the diverse manufacturing needs of global electric vehicles
and expanding collaboration with brands like Mazda. Their lightweight
technology enhances product competitiveness in EV market. Tron Energy
Technology Corporation has capitalized on government initiatives promoting
electric bus replacements, forming strategic alliances in Southeast Asia and
India. The company has adopted the semiconductor division of labor model,
focusing on core components and outsourcing vehicle assembly to local
factories. Tron Energy currently produces 200 electric buses annually, with
over 50% manufactured locally. Future plans include advancing autonomous
driving technology and expanding into global markets.
In eco-friendly
materials and circular economy, Acer Incorporated introduced its eco-friendly
laptop, the Aspire Vero, in 2021. This laptop incorporates post-consumer
recycled plastic (PCR) and ocean-bound plastic (OBP), with a body made from
30-40% PCR plastic and a touchpad crafted entirely from OBP. The packaging uses
up to 90% recycled paper and employs standard screws for easy repair and
upgrades, extending product’s lifespan. The packaging box is designed for reuse,
with internal dividers convertible into a laptop stand and cushioning materials
repurposed as seedling pots, exemplifying excellent circular design principles.
Taiwan has robust
industrial technology, skilled talent, and comprehensive software and hardware
resources. In addition to the mentioned companies, Taiwan boasts numerous other
exemplary green energy industries and a fully integrated supply chain.
Supported by government policies, Taiwan is poised to play a pivotal role in
driving global sustainable green energy transformation. The 2024 “Go Green with
Taiwan” global call for proposal event seeks outstanding proposals worldwide
that incorporate Taiwan’s green energy products or solutions.
The
“Go Green with Taiwan” global call for proposal event, organized by the
International Trade Administration (TITA) under the Ministry of Economic
Affairs (MOEA) and executed by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council
(TAITRA) is open for submissions until August 31, 2024, Taiwan time
(GMT+08:00). We cordially welcome creative proposers from around the world to
actively participate and join hands with Taiwan in creating a green and
sustainable future! For details on the proposal process and related
