Participating companies and organizations include the Association of the European Two Wheeler Parts and Accessories’ Industry, U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co. and Japanese electronics manufacturer Pioneer Corp.
Highlights of the four-day event include the third Taipei Cycle d&i Awards. A total of 185 entries from 16 countries were submitted, with five of the 49 winning works claiming a gold award.
“These products reflect a vast and varied pool of ingenuity in the cycle industry that will encourage more people to embrace a healthier and sustainable lifestyle,” an official at the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) was quoted as saying by Taiwan Today.
In recognition of Taiwan’s growing competitiveness and reputation as a cycling industry heavyweight, Dahon Technology, a U.S.-based producer of folding bikes, plans to establish a new venture in Taiwan and shift its R&D center back across the strait from Shenzhen, mainland China, according to the Taiwan Today.
Also included in the program are the All-Stars Awards sporting goods show and the inaugural Fitness Industry and Fitness Club Management Forum. Representatives from industry heavyweights, such as Anytime Fitness, International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association and World Gym, will shed light on the latest market trends and management techniques, organizers said.
