Taiwan
Overview
Taiwan is currently Queensland's fifth-largest export market. It's a key market for sugar, beef, coal and non-ferrous metals. Taiwan is also an important market for inbound tourism to Queensland attracting over 45 000 tourists in 2008 / 09. Taiwan is the State's fifth-largest student recruitment market with over 4000 student enrolments in 2008.
Growth in Taiwan's aviation sector is presenting good opportunities for Queensland companies that can offer training services for pilots, cabin crews and engineering and maintenance staff.
Emerging opportunities exist in the digital content, e-game, animation and new media sectors for Queensland ICT companies. ICT trade shows such as the annual Computex Taipei and Digital Taipei are frequently attended by Queensland and international ICT firms. These trade shows act as a platform to showcase new products and services to the international gaming and animation community.
Taiwan is not only an important market for Queensland firms but also an important springboard for businesses into China. As trade and investment with China grows, Taiwan will become an increasingly important link in the global supply chain, providing opportunities for Queensland suppliers to a broad range of industries such as building and construction, and the food sector.
