International delegations visit 2026 Taiwan Design Expo in Taoyuan

2026-09-24

The Taiwan Design Expo in Taoyuan kicked off on Thursday, putting Taoyuan’s design and innovation on the international stage. The city welcomed diplomats and delegations from around the world, who toured the city’s social housing and smart library facilities. This year’s expo is connecting five exhibition areas across the city and Taoyuan is using design to showcase not only its industrial strength, but also its technology, culture and growing international reach.

An American delegation from Garland, Texas and a Japanese delegation from Chiba went on a tour of Taoyuan’s social housing complexes and their facilities, to learn more about the city’s housing policy. They also visited the Qingpu Smart Technology Branch of Taoyuan Public Library, and had a go at using the smart book storage system themselves, an impressive tech innovation. The Taiwan Design Expo in Taoyuan has kicked off, with the attendance of 15 diplomats in Taiwan and guests from 31 of Taoyuan’s sister cities.

This year’s edition is titled “Taoyuan in Flow.” As we saw in the video, Taoyuan is known as the “Land of a Thousand Ponds.” Water is a very important part of life in Taoyuan.

The event showcases Taoyuan’s vitality across five exhibition areas in the city: the Qingpu Area exhibits Taoyuan’s industrial design capabilities, urban governance and international exchanges. Over in the Zhongli Area, the focus is the culture of the Minnan people, the Hakka people and the immigrants living in Taiwan. The event, which started off with the aim of promoting revitalization locally has evolved into an international affair.

Chang San-cheng
Taoyuan Mayor
Taoyuan’s hard power is that we are Taiwan’s largest industrial city. We hope that through this year’s Taiwan Design Expo in Taoyuan, we can also showcase Taoyuan’s soft power.

Visitors from around the world witnessed Taoyuan’s design-driven approach to urban governance, while experiencing the city’s technology, tourism, and cultural attractions. Taoyuan hopes the visits will pave the way for broader exchanges and even more fruitful cooperation.
