CE Trade Mission hosted by NTIO, RVO and Almere
Together with Almere City Government and RVO, NTIO will host a Trade Mission in CE Construction and Agriculture to Taiwan during the opening week of the Taichung World Flora Expo, from November 2 to 8, 2018. Delegation is led Almere Mayor Franc Weerwind, and will include Dutch companies with CE-related products and services, as well as project partners Signify, AkzoNobel, DSM and ING Bank. The mission program focuses on matchmaking and networking with all relevant partners and stakeholders in Taiwan, with the objective to create new business opportunities and/or partnerships with Taiwanese companies.
In preparation of the Mission, NTIO in cooperation with RVO has commissioned a CE Market Study to identify the business opportunities for Dutch companies.
Meeting potential partners face-to-face is crucial to business success in Taiwan. We can help you meet your business objectives by designing a business itinerary tailored to your company’s specific needs.
Dutch participants are able to pitch their technology and services to the audiences in Taiwan and have the opportunity to visit various cities in Taiwan, including Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung.
More information on the mission and the Taiwanese market is included in this invitation document.

Taiwan, the Netherlands and the Circular Economy
Since May 2016, the implementation of a Circular Economy (CE) is part of Taiwan’s national economic development policy, and the Netherlands has become the reference country for CE implementation in Taiwan. Taiwan government, academia and business have stepped up their initiatives to implement CE, and Dutch companies are being awarded their first CE-related contracts in Taiwan.
The Netherlands Trade & Investment Office (NTIO) – the Dutch government representation in Taiwan – has made CE its priority for the past 3 years. In collaboration with the Taiwan Circular Economy Network (TCEN) foundation (MoU in 2015), NTIO has been sharing the Dutch experience in CE policy making and implementation. In 2017 NTIO organized in cooperation with RVO, Holland Circular Hotspot (HCH), and the City of Almere a CE Mission to Taiwan with Dutch companies in CE-related products and services. The mission resulted in project leads and cooperation agreements with local Taiwanese partners.
27 delegates from Taiwan recently joined the Holland Circular Economy Week in the Netherlands, the largest foreign delegation to join this event. Taiwan’s EPA announced in June their own “Green Deal,” following the Dutch model, and launched CE transition agenda’s for the electronics, construction, and plastics industries. Holland Circular Hotspot signed an MoU with TCEN to strengthen CE cooperation between both countries.
