Taiwan Excellence makes its first appearance at the world’s largest fitness trade show with a kick-off event at which ten companies presented their award-winning hi-tech products. FIBO visitors can expect a wealth of smart technological developments and a wide-ranging program over the course of four days.
Taiwan Excellence launched its first-ever appearance at FIBO with a Grand Opening Press Conference showcasing the latest eco-friendly hi-tech fitness and rehabilitation equipment. The presentations on the first day of the show, kick off a four-day program that will give the expected 51,000 fair visitors the opportunity to experience the innovations of the participating companies from Taiwan. All of the fitness products on display are current winners of the Taiwan Excellence Award, which is presented by the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). Trade visitors and fitness enthusiasts are cordially invited to visit the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion in Hall 7, Booth 7E35 at FIBO, the world’s largest trade show for fitness, wellness and health, featuring over 500 exhibitors from 36 nations from April 13-16.
