As metal has become the preferred choice of material for structures and manufacturing, advanced metal manufacturing technology has found its way into an increasing number of applications, such as IT products, medical equipment, and other industries. Acknowledging the importance of the metal industry and its technology, the Kaohsiung City Government is actively promoting the upgrade and reform of the industry. By encouraging exhibitions and conferences in Kaohsiung, it aims to start communication between domestic and international industry players.

Kaohsiung City Government officially supports Taiwan’s first and only industry specific exhibition “International Metal Technology Taiwan” which will be held on December 2-4, 2015 at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center.

On January 24, 2015, the Kaohsiung City Government declared its commitment to the MICE industry (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) and is currently promoting MICE in order to stimulate the industrial development and enhance the competitiveness in Kaohsiung. The formal establishment of the “Kaohsiung Exhibition Alliance” will create opportunities for new cooperation and attract international conferences, exhibitions and events.

Kaohsiung is the top choice for organizing the first edition of “International Metal Technology Taiwan” due to the city’s characteristic as the metal industry cluster of Taiwan.
