Hello. My name is Cindy Chang and I cover the safety

and security, financial services, plastics and chemical industries.

I will focus my remarks on safety and security opportunties

in Taiwan. Due to increased concern for

public safety and natural disasters

the safety and security industry has emerged as a promising market for US

companies. Imports of high end products will grow

due to strong demand and relatively weak domestic competition.

The import market is expected to increase annually

by five to ten percent. American safety and security products

enjoy an excellent reputation in Taiwan and are highly regarded

for their product design, quality and state of the art

technology. The best prospects for

US companies are fire protection equipment, access control

and surveillance equipment and web based information security systems.

During the most recent economic downturn,

security is the area that most of the companies were not willing

to cut. Enterprises in this market will continue

increasing their investments in safety and security products and

services, which will in turn stimulate the growth

of this industry. Our office offers

assistance to help US companies promote their safety and security

products and services in Taiwan. We also support

a local tradeshow, Secutech Expo, which is the leading security

tradeshow for Asia. It occurs every April at the Nankang Exhibition Hall.

Our office organizes a US Pavilion

and we welcome US companies' participation.

If you are interested in participating in the US Pavilion

or need any assistance of the industries that I covered

please contact our office. Thank you very much for your time

and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
