Additionally, to facilitate industry exchanges between Taiwan and Indonesia, Taiwan Excellence organized a special industry presentation on May 17 with the theme "Integrating innovative solutions for urban development." Leveraging Taiwan's strong ICT industry foundation, the event brought smart and innovative solutions to promote urban development.

Ø   Why Partner with Taiwan for Smart City Solutions?

Indonesia, as a significant member of ASEAN and Taiwan's 14th largest trading partner, maintains a close economic relationship with Taiwan. Taiwan's ICT industry boasts a solid foundation, offering comprehensive solutions from electronic components to digitization, smartification, and automation. With a complete industry ecosystem and extensive R&D and manufacturing experience, Taiwan is highly competitive internationally and has successful experiences extending to smart city applications. Currently, Indonesia is heavily investing in THE NEW NATIONAL CAPITAL CITY (IKN) PROJECT, aiming to create a smarter, greener, and cleaner new city. This presents an opportunity for closer technical exchanges between Taiwan and Indonesia, fostering mutual development in smart city initiatives.

Ø   Innovative Smart City Solutions from Taiwan Excellence

The April 2024 Smart City Index recently announced global rankings, revealing Taipei City's remarkable climb to 16th place, a significant leap of 13 positions. Taiwan's advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) and AI development played a crucial role in this progress.

Drawing from a solid ICT industry foundation, Taiwan has become a key player in the global AI landscape. Taiwanese companies dominate over 90% of the global AI server market, showcasing expertise in high-end server design, development, and production. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, has publicly acknowledged Taiwan's position as a hub for artificial intelligence (AI) and the new industrial revolution.

Leveraging AI technology, Taiwan has focused efforts on sectors like industrial automation, retail, education, healthcare, transportation, and more. Through software and hardware innovation, as well as practical industry applications, Taiwan has built a robust Smart City Ecosystem.

Each year, Taiwan Excellence selects top-tier products based on criteria such as sustainability, design, R&D, quality, and marketing, serving as a benchmark for Taiwanese products. Many enterprises in AI and Smart City domains are committed to advancing the latest technologies and innovative solutions. At the event held on May 17th, TPIsoftware, IBASE Technology, CHIMEI Motor Electronics, and VISION Automobile Electronics showcased outstanding solutions in energy-efficient buildings, smart retail, intelligent transportation, and AIoT-enabled smart homes, contributing significantly to urban development.
