Taipei City Government is setting up shop at the 2017 IT Month this year! The topic for the City’s showcase this year will be “Smart Taipei, Dreams of Technology.”

Highlighting the city government’s effort in continued innovation and establishing living labs for partners to conduct POCs, as well as implementation of numerous smart city projects, Taipei Pavilion seeks to inform residents on how innovative technology is helping them realize a lifestyle emphasizing convenience and efficiency.

The exhibition is arranged in a way that allows visitors to better understand what the city government has achieved in providing comprehensive city services through two zones: “Smart Services” and “Hands-on City Affairs.”

Smart Services Zone
The smart services offered by the city government are not restricted to changes in the infrastructure. It adopts an approach involving better understanding of citizens’ needs and applications of technologies such as Internet, IoT, and mobile devices to satisfy the advance needs of residents.

Some new gadgets showcases at the pavilion include smart trashcan – a device which seeks to create a friendlier environment for waste recycling. 

Hands-on City Affairs Zone: Taipei City Government seeks to create better life for its citizens by adopting innovation and advances in technologies. Through hands-on experience and related interactions made possible by technology knowhow, the exhibition seeks to educate visitors on the scope and depth of Taipei’s city affairs to herald in the age of smart cities.
