WITH the success of its
“Sharing is Caring” campaign more than three years ago, the Taiwan International
Trade Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs (TITA, MOEA) and the Taiwan
External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) launched today another global contest
where anyone can submit program ideas aimed at making the world green again
through the use of Taiwan products.
Called “Go Green with Taiwan,” the global
sustainability program concept contest, hopes to inspire any group to come up
with interesting ideas that will foster technological cooperation in making an environmentally
and economically sustainable future possible, using products and solutions from
Taiwan, a country that has achieved global renown for technologically advanced
and life-changing innovations.
“Go Green with Taiwan” contest
is open to participants who are either part of a company or any institution,
such as colleges or universities, non-government organizations, public
associations, among others. Submission of entries is made convenient by just
filling out the online form and questionnaire: https://gogreen.surveycake.biz/s/eLGWV.
All submitted proposals
will go through a qualification phase and will be reviewed further by a panel
of environmental sustainability experts until the grand finals. Proposals will
be evaluated for their excellence in four (4) categories: environmental and
economic sustainability, feasibility, innovation, and the relevant use of
products or solutions from Taiwan.
A total of Six finalists
will get free round-trip tickets to Taiwan, including accommodations and other
travel expenses. Three of the most outstanding proposals shall receive
US$20,000 as prize money. The deadline for submission of proposals is on August
31, 2024. Winners will be announced by late December 2024.
According to TAITRA Chairman
James Huang, they collectively promote the stories of Taiwanese enterprises'
pursuit of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects to the
international community. "Go Green with Taiwan" serves as an
important gateway for international partners to first understand Taiwan's path
to sustainability, where people around the world can learn how to find suitable
partners in Taiwan for the future.
“Through the global call
for proposals, we aspire not only to pursue business and technical cooperation
but also to encourage Taiwanese industries to understand global sustainability
issues and go international, creating more touching stories,” TAITRA Chairman
Huang added.
Ms. Cynthia Kiang,
General Director of TITA, emphasizes that with the specter of global climate
change and rising energy demands facing the world today, many countries agree
that developing green energy and a sustainable economy has become even more
imperative, with carbon reduction and green sustainability as vital components
in this crucial mission.
“To achieve this
important goal, the government will actively collaborate closely with
industries. Facing the climate crisis, we must resolutely implement the
net-zero transition and promote ‘net-zero emissions’ and ‘clean energy’ without
delay,” TITA General Director Kiang said.
She pointed out that
Taiwan’s green industry boasts of advanced technologies, abundant software and
hardware resources, a well-established R&D environment, and high-quality
talent, that can produce stable and high value-added green materials and related
products, making it an ideal partner for the international development of green
energy and a sustainable economy, Ms. Kiang said in her remarks during the
launch.
Dir. Kiang also
emphasized that “Go Green with Taiwan” will fully showcase the joint efforts of
the international community and Taiwan towards the sustainable development of
the Earth, while the government will also continue to assist businesses and
strive for more green business opportunities for them. “We firmly believe that
Taiwan can contribute more to the international promotion of the sustainable
green energy industry and make its significant contribution to environmental
sustainability.”
