How AIT Commercial Section Can Help Your Business

Gold Key Matching Service (GKS) 

If you plan to travel to Taiwan to meet prospective business partners to further your export goals but do not know where to start, the GKS is the way to go.  This turnkey service provides you with prequalified and pre-screened appointments with potential Taiwan agents, distributors or other strategic business partners.  If you cannot travel abroad to conduct your meetings live, a DVC Gold Key service is also available.

The SCP is designed to introduce new-to-market U.S. companies or raise the market profile of U.S. firms already in the Taiwan market. We can organize a professional and effective promotional event, technical seminar, product/service launch, press conference, catalog show, or matchmaking program for you and/or your Taiwan representative(s) to promote your company and products/services.

The ICP helps you evaluate potential business partners by providing a detailed company report.  These thorough background checks on your potential clients will reduce the risk and allow you to enter new business relationship with more confidence.
