Magic Shields (Hamamatsu, Shizuoka; CEO Akishi Shimomura) has been selected as one of 10 companies by the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association for the FY2026 Japan-Taiwan IoT and Digital Industry Cooperation Promotion Project. Through this initiative, the company will participate in the MEDICAL TAIWAN exhibition at the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) from June 25 to 27, 2026, and join individual business matchings with Taiwanese companies. Magic Shields will showcase 'Coroyawa', a shock-absorbing floor and mat designed to reduce bone fracture risks from falls. 'Coroyawa' is hard during normal walking but softens to absorb impact upon a fall. It has been adopted by over 1,600 hospitals and care facilities in Japan, including about 40% of large hospitals with 500+ beds. Taiwan is entering a 'super-aged society' in 2025, with the elderly population (65+) projected to exceed 20.0% and reach 30% by 2039. Magic Shields already has some installations in Taiwanese facilities and homes, and aims to accelerate its expansion and build networks with local healthcare institutions and distributors through this exhibition.
