TIMTOS 2023 welcomes international visitors back in person

Taipei International Machine Tool Show, also known as TIMTOS, will return in 2023 from March 6 to 11 at Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1 & 2 and TWTC Hall 1. With 1,000+ exhibitors in nearly 6,100 booths, an even larger scale than 2022, TIMTOS 2023 will be the largest trade show ever recorded after Taiwan has recently lifted all its border controls since the COVID-19 outbreak.

At present, foreign professionals are free to travel to Taiwan to participate in trade shows as usual, and the global machine tool industry is getting elated about the coming TIMTOS 2023. As a result, there are increasing demands for bigger booth spaces, and meanwhile, delegations are coming from Vietnam, Turkey, India, etc., according to TAITRA, the organizer.
