The Asian food industry's annual event,
the grand 5-in-1 expo, features Food Taipei, Foodtech & Bio/Pharmatech,
Taipei Pack, Taiwan Horeca, and Halal Taiwan, and will take place June 19-22,
2019. In addition to the original Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 (TaiNEX1),
and the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 (TWTC Hall 1), the newly built Nangang
Exhibition Center Hall 2 (TaiNEX2), which was officially opened in March, will
also accommodate the expo. By taking on the new exhibition hall, FOOD TAIPEI
5-in-1 Mega Expo's scale will reach new heights with up to 4,800 booths. Such
scale will pave the way for new strategies.

FOOD TAIPEI combines food products,
processed food products and pharmaceutical production machinery, packaging, and
dining/restaurant equipment in a single comprehensive supply platform to create
a comprehensive upstream, downstream, midstream, and peripheral supply chain.
Showcasing the world's highest-quality, most refined, innovative, diverse,
exciting, healthy, and safe food, FOOD TAIPEI offers buyers a one-stop shop for
all their purchasing needs. Indeed, it is the primary procurement platform for
the global Chinese and Asian food industry.

Global
Nation Pavilions, Taiwan Agricultural Products Regional Government Pavilions,
and Flagship Brand Pavilions debut for the first time. Food industry elites
gather in TWTC Hall 1.

TWTC Hall 1 will feature an exclusive
food and beverage event. Visitors can engage local, fresh farm-to-table
produce, as well as the top selection of international food ingredients, all
under one roof. All of Taiwan's regional governments and public associations
will actively participate in the exhibition, presenting quality foods from all
over Taiwan, and making the expo the Asia food industry's preferred procurement
platform. For the first time, the famous Taiwanese food factory I-Mei, Kinmen
Kaoliang Liquor and Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor will join the Flagship Brand
Pavilion to bring a refreshing experience for overseas buyers! Some 34
countries will bring the national pavilions to life. Popular pavilions such as
the United States, Japan, and South Korea, will be joined this year for the
first time by the United Kingdom and Colombia. The volume of international
exhibitors has grown by more than 50%, and therefore we are anticipating a
wonderful international multi-food culture. No doubt, the event is the best
platform for international manufacturers seeking new trading partners.

A
biotechnology food and pharmaceutical equipment area will be added for the
first time in response to vigorous development of the biotechnology and
pharmaceutical industries.

Taiwan's nearly 40-year-old frozen food
machinery and bread-baking machinery manufacturer ANKO Food Machine will join
the food machinery exhibition lineup alongside Hundred Machinery, renowned for
its range of stuffed food forming machines. In addition to smart manufacturing,
the industry has also recently begun to develop the biotechnology and
pharmaceutical sectors. Therefore, a special pavilion at TaiNEX2 will showcase
a Biotech/Pharmaceutical Machinery and Components Zone, allowing overseas
buyers to experience more diverse products and technologies. Moreover, new
manufacturers are able to join with the expansion of the exhibition space.
Combining the booths in the original TaiNEX1, the expo will reach a scale of
2,000 booths, making it a pivotal food tech exhibition in Asia. Widely
acclaimed, the Smart Machinery Competition is entering its fourth year. It has
invited industry and academic experts to select exhibitors focusing on
productivity 4.0 and on-site smart manufacturing. The technology on show will
be an eye-opener for overseas buyers and will lay the foundation for upgrading
food production and packaging materials, as well as refining food processing.

With
Taiwan's increasingly popular Muslim-friendly environment, the scale of Halal
Taiwan reaches new heights.

With Taiwan's increasingly popular
Muslim-friendly environment in recent years, Halal Taiwan is expected to double
in size in the next year. The Indonesia Pavilion will re-launch this year to
bring local, quality food products to Taiwan's trading partners. The previous
(2018), highly-praised, Halal Pavilion showcased Halal-certified health foods,
general foods, and basics in distinct areas. This year, more of Taiwan's
high-quality Halal products will be presented, indicating the strength of
Taiwan's Halal industry.
