Taiwan govt launches portal for service sector

By Adrienne Valdez | 16 March 2011

The Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council recently launched an official web site designed for Taiwan’s service sector- taiwanservices.com.tw.

Taiwanservices.com.tw, on its first year, will focus on seven service industries: medical care, tourism, culture and creative industries, food, logistics, distribution, and WiMAX (wireless broadband technology); four or five more may be added in the future as needed to continue promoting Taiwan’s service industries.

Designed to be a trade platform for local and foreign companies, the website provides free information on topics including the latest business developments and analysis, business information from around the world, international service industry trends, information and services regarding domestic and international commercial exhibitions, relevant Taiwan laws and regulations, guiding policies and resources, information regarding the relaxing of Taiwan’s financial regulations, and research achievements in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English.

Additionally, there will be media promotion and relevant international service industry exhibitions, as well as trade partner matching of potential buyers and businesses.

At the web site launch, CEPD Deputy Minister Gee San said that the global economy is gradually transforming into an economy dominated by service industries. The website is also expected to help boost the competitiveness of Taiwan’s services trade in the global market.
