Taiwan Excellence�s Times Square Takeover Helps Usher in EXPO

TAIPEI, Taiwan & WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Innovation–On the heels of Taiwan Excellence (TE)’s memorable Times Square takeover, where two massive billboards were linked to create a unique 3D show, TE helped usher in the first Taiwan EXPO USA to be held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC, from October 12-14.
