The six “Digital Content Applications Forum” speeches were based on the topic “Strengthen new media concepts, grasp major marketing elements,” while the five “Business Opportunities Forum” events were based on “Mobile devices sweep the globe. How can we conquer the mobile market?” These forums assisted in elaborating the current status and future trends of the current global market.

Taiwan possesses a sound hardware foundation, and with the government-s active promotion of fields such as cloud computing, wireless broadband, and digital convergence, etc, we believe that we can provide domestic digital content development with solid technical support. Taiwan-s digital content products have already achieved significance in the global market, and Digital Taipei has also become an exchange platform for international focus. We hope, through the hard work each year, to market even more original Taiwanese digital content products to the world, and promote the growth and development of the industry.
