Taiwan Excellence established the 'Taiwan Excellence Pavilion' at the '2026 Japan Taiwan Image Exhibition' held in Shinjuku, Tokyo, from July 15 to 17. Centered on the concept of 'Trust Connected, Innovation Linked' and themed around the shared Taiwanese-Japanese cultural motif of 'Kizuna (connection)', the pavilion showcased Taiwan's technological capabilities and high-quality products.

Over the three-day exhibition, the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion hosted 10 product experience sessions, featuring companies such as Jih-Her Industrial, Tu-Yang Biotech, Guang-Han Medical, Fuken International Technology, Tatung (2371-TW), Q-Track Electronics, Gigabyte Technology (2376-TW), Innolux (3481-TW), Merida (9914-TW) Industry, and Delta Electronics (2308-TW). These sessions allowed direct engagement with Japanese consumers and business buyers, highlighting product features and real-world applications.

On the opening day, the Trade Association hosted a VIP guided tour inside the pavilion, with influencer Maya Miyakawa—known for her love of Taiwan—serving as the guide. Guests experienced an interactive light-and-shadow installation symbolizing the Taiwan-Japan connection, capturing the mutual bond through visual storytelling and commemorative photos.
