Largest Taiwan Expo in the U.S. kicks off three days of industry, culture, and strategic dialogue—free and open to the public
Taiwan Expo USA — Taiwan Expo USA 2025 officially opened today at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, launching a landmark showcase of Taiwan’s leadership across technology, advanced manufacturing, and cultural vitality. Themed “Shared Vision, Stronger Partnership,” this year’s Expo, organized by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), International Trade Administration (TITA), and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), underscores Taiwan’s expanding role as a strategic economic partner to the United States. The flagship event spotlights Taiwan’s national image and promotes Taiwan–U.S. exchange across industry, innovation, and culture.
“Taiwan Expo USA is more than an event—it’s a blueprint for the future of global innovation. Inside, you’ll find AI and semiconductor command centers powering intelligence across domains; smart manufacturing bays fine-tuned for reindustrialization; medical pods delivering tech-driven health resilience; and cultural capsules—because innovation isn’t just technical; it’s taste, story, rhythm, and spirit,” said TAITRA Chairman James C. F. Huang. “Taiwan is ready—not just to support, but to co-build and share the weight. Not just to adapt, but to stand shoulder-to-shoulder on this bold journey forward.”
Opening Ceremony Celebrates Economic and Cultural Synergy
Today’s Opening Ceremony blended artistry and culture, featuring a performance by internationally acclaimed Ten Drum Art Percussion Group—renowned for integrating traditional Taiwanese drumming with modern dance—and remarks from a distinguished roster of U.S. and Taiwan leaders, including:

The ceremony also celebrated the inauguration of a new resource to connect Taiwanese businesses with U.S. opportunities—the Taiwan Trade and Investment Services Center in Dallas. “On behalf of Minister Kuo, the Ministry of Economic Affairs is proud to announce the opening of the Taiwan Trade and Investment Center in Dallas,” said William Liu, Director General of the International Trade Administration. “This Center will help Taiwanese companies expand in the U.S. by offering guidance on investment regulations, identifying business opportunities, and fostering industrial and technological partnerships. It will also serve as a liaison with local governments to promote a favorable investment climate and deepen Taiwan–U.S. supply chain collaboration.”
Setting an inspiring tone for Taiwan Expo 2025, the ceremony reinforced Taiwan’s long-term commitment to U.S. economic engagement and cross-cultural partnership, while highlighting shared aspirations to foster innovation and celebrating enduring cultural connections.
“The United States and Taiwan have a relationship that represents far more than simple economic transactions,” said Ingrid Larson, Managing Director of the Washington Office of the American Institute in Taiwan. “It embodies the principles of democratic values, mutual prosperity, and economic security. Taiwan has stepped up to help us achieve this goal with investments that benefit both of our economies. The importance of the trade relationship and commercial partnership extends beyond immediate economic benefits to fundamental questions of economic security and resilience.”

The Taiwan–U.S. Supply Chain Cooperation Forum also kicked off today, convening leaders from Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), Phison, GlobalWafers, and the US-Taiwan Business Council to explore strategic pathways in smart manufacturing, AI integration, and industrial regionalization.
