Join the ICF Canada Business Delegation in 4 cities in Taiwan

Taoyuan – Hsinchu – New Taipei City – Taipei from February 12-14, 2020

ICF Canada is organizing a post-conference three-city mission to Hsinchu, New Taipei City and Taipei from February 12-14, 2020, following the TOP7 Conference in Taoyuan from February 9-11, 2020. These cities are leaders in the Smart City and Intelligent Community movement and each have a unique innovation-related ecosystem. Each city contains some of the world’s most significant research and science parks, globally recognized for their manufacturing of silicon semi-conductors and laptop computers, among other innovations, world-class educational institutions and large numbers of new and unique companies. These are also young and sophisticated centers where innovation is everywhere. You are invited to join us!

Meet innovative companies, organizations, governments and academia in these communities to create lasting connections, potential partnerships and long-term business relationships and friendships. Bring plenty of business cards and your A-Game in presenting your community, companies and initiatives. These contacts will certainly show off their capabilities.
