From Taipei to Poznań: Our Experience at ITM Industry Europe 2026
We Were at ITM Industry Europe 2026 — Here's How It Went
On 26-29 May 2026, we had the opportunity to join Taiwan's delegation at ITM Industry Europe in Poznań, Poland — and it was quite an experience. For those unfamiliar with the show, ITM Industry Europe is one of the biggest industrial exhibitions in Central and Eastern Europe, drawing manufacturers, buyers, and industry leaders from across the continent. Being there as part of the Taiwan Pavilion, organized by TAITRA, meant we were representing not just ourselves but Taiwan's advanced manufacturing sector alongside 14 other leading companies.
Our CEO Ching-Kuo Lin also took on the role of delegation leader for the entire Taiwan group — something we're genuinely proud of.
The atmosphere on day one was electric. The opening ceremony brought together some impressive names: Taiwan's Ambassador to Poland Liu Yung-chien, Poznań Mayor Jacek Jaśkowiak, and members of the Polish parliament, among others. It was a strong signal of just how seriously both sides are taking this bilateral relationship.
The response from European buyers was better than we expected. There was real, genuine curiosity — not just polite browsing. Conversations around automation systems and precision manufacturing kept us busy throughout the day, which is exactly what you want from a trade show.
It also helped that the timing couldn't be better. Taiwan's machine tool exports to Poland grew nearly 17% in 2025, and the appetite for reliable, high-quality manufacturing partners in Central and Eastern Europe is clearly there.
We came away from Poznań energized and with a clearer picture of where the opportunities are in this market. Europe is a long game, but shows like ITM are exactly how you start building the right relationships.
We look forward to continuing to build relationships and explore new opportunities in the European market.
