Taiwan has taken a bold step in the movement for global health innovations with the launch of the “Go Healthy with Taiwan” campaign in the Philippines. The contest invites Filipino public institutions, enterprises, and SMEs to propose pioneering ways to apply Taiwan’s health-focused technologies to local community needs. Executed by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the “Go Healthy with Taiwan” campaign aims to foster global partnerships with Taiwan’s leading health and wellness industry.
The top three proposals will be awarded with US$30,000 each, and the top six finalists will be invited to Taiwan for an exclusive “Go Healthy Tour”—where they will be given opportunity to experience Taiwan’s dynamic health technology ecosystem face-to-face. This tour will feature hands-on demonstrations, site visits, and networking opportunities with leading Taiwanese companies, allowing the finalists to explore collaboration, product integration, and market expansion opportunities firsthand.
Mr. Alex Lai, Director of Taiwan Trade Center, Manila, noted the participation of Filipinos to the proposal contest by Taiwan Excellence, “The people of the Philippines are eager than ever to share their innovative ideas to the “Go Healthy with Taiwan” contest. Ever since the campaign was launched, Filipinos across the nation became inspired to partner with Taiwan for solutions that will help the health concerns in their local community, and even beyond.”
Three Sectoral Focus Areas of the “Go Healthy with Taiwan” Contest
The contest calls for proposals, highlighting the following health sectoral focus areas: Fitness & Sports Technology, Cycling, and Smart Healthcare. Taiwan’s smart fitness technologies—such as AI-assisted training machines—are one of the recommended innovations to incorporate into proposals that aim to boost personal and nationwide wellness. Another sector for consideration to be integrated into proposals is the cycling sector of Taiwan, as the country is globally recognized for its high-performance bicycles and leading urban cycling infrastructure. Lastly, the contest encourages Taiwan’s smart healthcare systems to be applied into the proposals, featuring technologies from Taiwan that are reshaping healthcare delivery and preventive care models across the globe.
