WHAT IS 2035 E-MOBILITY GLOBAL DEMO DAY?

Since the Paris Agreement, many countries have announced plans to ban sales of petrol and diesel vehicles between 2025 and 2050 to reduce carbon emissions. According to the UN, one in six of the world’s inhabitants will be over the age of 65 by 2050. These trends have become the main drivers behind the e-mobility boom. Electric vehicles and self-driving cars are the inevitable trend and future of the automotive industry.

With this future in sight and a strong foundation in the semiconductor and ICT industries, advanced manufacturing, and software programming, Taiwan has demonstrated its place as a major supplier in the global high-tech and automotive industries. Taiwan-based companies—including TSMC, TECO, FUKUTA, BizLink, EOI Group, Asia Optical, and CoreMax—are some of the largest providers of Tesla’s components. Meanwhile, Taiwanese manufacturers such as Delta, Pegatron, and Quanta have long been the trusted suppliers for top carmakers in countries like the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

Hence, Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA)—Taiwan's foremost nonprofit trade-promoting organization—will launch 2035 E-Mobility Taiwan as a new trade show for the EV and self-driving car ecosystem. The show is set to take place on April 12-15, 2023. Before the trade show, TAITRA and Epoch Foundation—the founder of Garage+, which is known as Asia’s largest zero-equity incubator—will co-organize the ‘2035 E-Mobility Global Demo Day’. Through this startup pitch event, we hope to scout new ideas and solutions for future mobility and foster business collaborations between startups and manufacturers and/or venture capitalists.

Join ‘2035 E-Mobility Global Demo Day’ to transform concepts and ideas into reality! Startups moving to the final round of the competition will receive airline tickets subsidy to Taipei, Taiwan, travel accommodations (Only for Startups outside Taiwan.), one-on-one meetings with potential investors and business partners, networking, and a demo stand in the Future Star Pavilion at the 2035 E-Mobility Taiwan trade show in April 2023. Don’t miss out on the chance to make yourself a shining star at this event!
