On Thursday, May 7, Taiwan Excellence held a Livestream Press Conference that showcased Taiwan’s breakthrough solutions in Remote Video Conferencing for work and education. Taiwan Excellence is the international promotional campaign run by the Bureau of Foreign Trade and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). The conference saw five top Taiwanese brands displaying their latest products which enhance the quality and utility of remote communication. It included a series of presentations on topics like U-Enabling remote working with video-conferencing and live-casting, AVer Classroom Technology Solutions for Distance Education, New way of work—for better collaboration and on-job learning, Q.con Video Conferencing Solution and Cu Class.
Owing to its strong ICT technology and passion for innovation, Taiwanese brands have made their presence felt in global markets, including India, with many products optimally suited to support new ways of working and learning. Since the past several decades, Taiwan has been rapidly strengthening its position as a technological powerhouse. With a proactive approach to the development of emerging technologies, the country is strengthening its presence globally driven by the growing adoption of wireless connectivity of electronic devices.
In countries like India, many companies are desperately looking for strong and sustainable remote working solutions mainly because they hadn’t envisioned the sudden change and weren’t prepared for it. Educational institutions too are struggling to convert in-person curriculums into online courses. There is a strong need more than ever now for technological tools that support mobility, security and freedom to collaborate.
To this end, Taiwanese companies have come forward to help plug in the gaps by offering the right technology solutions to allow remote working and learning, without any bottlenecks. Leading Taiwanese brands are offering collaboration tools with technology and usability improvements just as the world needs them the most right now.
