Computex is one huge event, all over Taipei you can see signs of it, everyone knows about it and looks everyone is going to it. We went there all days, we passed for every single booth, I gave so many business cards that I had to make more. If you or your company needs electronic equipment’s this is definitely a good way to start.

The event is divided in five sections:

• Communications products
• Peripherals
• Mega trends
• Media
• Display and Digital Entertainment

I believe that most of the opportunities are for OEM, companies that know how to build very well, but don’t know or don’t want to sell directly to the end user. One famous company that passed through this is Asus, they have part of the company selling OEM for big companies, but they also have their brand Asus, which is getting so big and so strong that is making front with companies like HP, Dell, Samsung, …, so what they did? Spin off the company, because of course you can’t compete with your own client.

Taipei is a very interesting city, it’s very hot, but very cloudy, rain almost everyday, people are warm, they are always very friendly and when they understand English they are so kind trying to help you everywhere.

Food is singular, the first time we chose a restaurant we made a mistake, asking for the set, I’ve never seen so many weird things in my life, unfortunately I am not used to it and I couldn’t eat most of it, so I am more cautious with food now. 

Tomorrow heading to Amsterdam, I’ll definitely miss Taipei, Zàijiàn!
