Organized by Taiwan’s Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), and implemented by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) the Taiwan Expo 2019, will be held at its third stop in Hanoi, Vietnam. It will take place on August 8, 2019 at the Hanoi International Exhibition Center. In particular, the Green Trade Project Office (GTPO) will set up the "Taiwan Green Products Pavilion" to bring together Taiwan's innovative and high-quality green companies to showcase the green industry in Taiwan with the theme of "Sustainable Environment & Green Energy City". The exhibition will put on display the strength of Taiwan’s R&D capabilities and technological strength in green industry.

Vietnam continues to experience rapid economic growth and is the sixth largest economy of ASEAN. However, it also faces major challenges in maintaining social and economic development due to climate change. Under the influence of the rapid economic growth and the international green trend, the Vietnamese government launched the “Vietnam Green Growth Strategy” in September 2012, which mainly consists of targeting three specific green areas encompassing: “Low Carbon Green Energy”, “Green Production” and “Green Lifestyle”. It actively introduces green technology as the primary direction towards attaining sustainable economic development in Vietnam and an important indicator of social and economic development. It drives green technology, clean technology, renewable energy, energy conservation, environmental protection equipment, and waste disposal.

In order to help Taiwan’s green industry seek green business opportunities, GTPO will promote Taiwan's green products in Taiwan Expo 2019 in Vietnam and in response to “Vietnam National Green Growth Strategy” to meet the local needs of Vietnam. Taiwan Pavilion will be comprised of 19 top green Taiwanese companies displaying innovative green energy technologies and green building materials.
