Trade show to connect PPE firms with foreign buyersBy Angelica Oung / Staff reporterMedical Taiwan, set to begin on Oct. 15 in the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center’s Hall 2, is to feature personal protective equipment (PPE) as COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, event organizer the Taiwan External Trade Council (TAITRA) said yesterday. The three-day event would also offer a virtual exhibition for foreign buyers who cannot make it to Taiwan due to travel restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the TAITRA added. “We will have a normal exhibition for local buyers, but for foreign buyers, who cannot come in person, we will have a virtual exhibition.”A mannequin, left, clad in personal protective equipment (PPE) is pictured yesterday in Taipei at a news conference for the annual Medical Taiwan trade show.
