Grand inauguration with dynamic participation
The inauguration of 2011 GTI Asia Taipei Expo was full of influential figures including government and industrial leaders.
In the afternoon of the first day, TDEA and TAMA co-held a forum named "New Concept, New Vision" at the 2nd floor conference room in Hall 1, Taipei World Trade Center.
The inauguration of GTI Asia Taipei Expo commenced at 10 a.m. on May 5th. A long cluster of influential characters from different professional fields attended this grand opening such as Chairman of China e-Game Industry Association (CGIA), Jin-Hua Liou, Chief Secretary of CGIA, Sheng Zhang, Chairman of Taiwan Arcade Industry Association, Wan-Te Yang, Chairman of Gift Claim Vender Association, Wen-Bin Wei, Dean of School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at National Chin-Yi University, Wen-Yuan Chen, Project Manager of Digital Content Industry Development and Assistance, Di-Fu Hu and so forth.

The opening ceremony was kicked off by the remarks of Chairman of TAMA, Chu-Wen O and Chairman TDEA, Kun-Mou Lu. The legislator, Yu-Fang Lin delivered his gratification to the guests from China sparing their precious time to participate in the GTI Expo. Head of Department of Commerce (DOC), the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), Yun-Lung Yeh generally revealed Taiwan government's developmental plan and made a brief explanation regarding the influence of Taiwan Government Reengineering which may incorporate the DOC with the Industrial Development Bureau under the MOEA. Chairman of CGIA, Jin-Hua Liou introduced the status quo of the electronic game industry in China and welcomed and encouraged Taiwanese enterprises extending their business to China. At the end, all of the guests jointly cut the red ribbon and announced the official opening of GTI Asia Taipei Expo. Although the scale of the show slightly decreased this year, the exhibitors of the GTI Expo kept pouring a large amount of resources into this annual event such as hiring show girls and holding a series of exciting tournaments and made best use of this exhibition to demonstrate their strength and their latest product lines.

On the afternoon of the first day, in a bid to call for public and government attention to the development of the electronic game industry as well as synthesize pragmatic boosting measures for the industry from professionals, TDEA and TAMA held a forum named "New Concept, New Vision" from 13:30~16:00 at the 2nd floor conference room in Hall 1, TWTC. A large crowd of experts including government officials, professionals from the academic institutions as well as industrial leaders joined this opinion-sharing meeting. After the exhibition hours of the first day, GTI held a dinner party at Taipei City Hall Banquet Salle. There were approximately 75 tables for local and foreign exhibitors from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and other countries around the world to enjoy the most genuine Taiwanese food. The feast also provided a perfect occasion for networking and exploring potential business opportunities.
 
Chairman of TAMA, Chu-Wen O
On behalf of the show organizers, first of all, I would like to thank all the participants of the show and promise that all of you are cordially welcomed to attend this grand annual event. This year, we have 100 exhibitors. And we should consider 100 as a spiritual sign of a fresh beginning since our nation Taiwan (R.O.C.) is experiencing its centennial year as well. The most significant goal of holding this show is that we want to demonstrate the strength and competitiveness of Taiwan's amusement game industry and promote the products of made in Taiwan (MIT) to the whole world. We hope all of the attendees can have a more thorough understanding on the current development of the amusement game industry in Taiwan via joining the show. The industry actually meets some difficulties and obstacles due to the restrictions of the law. However, entering its 18th birthday, GTI Asia Taipei Expo keeps showing vitality and creativity. Last but not least, I would like to appeal to our government that Taiwan's amusement game industry needs more space and opportunities to develop and grow again especially in its homeland. Please give the industry more chance to revive domestically and keep offering best-quality products to the whole world.
Chairman of TDEA, Kun-Mou Lu
Although the show this year continues to shrink a little bit, I am still touched by the continuous efforts that were made by the exhibitors and organizers for the GTI Expo these years. We must come up with some ways to deal with the weak and fatigued domestic market. Without establishing an organized and improved environment, we will keep facing unnecessary hurdles on the way to success. The policy makers in China have a drastic switch on their attitude toward the amusement game industry. Within four to five years, China has created an extremely astonishing performance in this field economically. In reaction to the rise of the market across the Taiwan Strait, a large amount of amusement machine developers in Taiwan have even moved their target market from Taiwan to China. This phenomenon impacts heavily on the local amusement game industry. As for the development of an industry, everything will go in vain with no support from the government. TDEA discussed with the authorities for a couple of times last year and the governmental officials promised that they are going to make reforms and implement new measures to lead the industry out of the turmoil. I wish you all receive numerous orders throughout these three days.
Legislator, Yu-Fang Lin
Despite the scale of GTI Expo has a tiny decrease, I confirm and encourage that the organizers continue to show respectable persistence in recruiting exhibitors to showcase their product lines at 650 booths on the show floor. Besides, we cannot ignore that Yun-Lung Yeh, Head of DOC in MOEA, gives a substantial amount of assistance in lifting the overall environment and fostering industrial development. His professional insistence and endeavor re-ignite many operators' anticipation toward the bureaucratic system such as MOEA. I am quite agreed with Mr. Lu's opinion that implementation of appropriate and pragmatic industrial policies is essential to the development of any industry. However, the domestic amusement game market now is constrained due to the strict restrictions. We should treat this situation seriously; otherwise, the game machine manufacturers will no longer have a medium-sized local platform to run, test and perfect their products. It is time for the government to conduct self-examination on its policies and make some timely adjustments. At last, I will never forget to show my appreciation to the Chairman of CGIA, Jin-Hua Liou who spares his leisure time and comes to Taiwan for attending this annual event. I believe both of us wish that Taiwan and China can keep a close cooperative relationship with each other. To a certain extent, Taiwan still possesses some technological strength in the amusement game industry. Judging from the present situation, fortifying the cooperation between Taiwan and China will become the most effective way to lift and upgrade the amusement game industry of both sides to a higher level.
Head of DOC in MOEA, Yun-Lung Yeh
have been taking office as Head of DOC in MOEA for two years. Through the continuous interactions with Mr. Lu and Mr. Ou, it is obvious that the chairmen of TDEA and TAMA jointly have a deep anticipation on me. Here, I want to clarify DOC's standpoint on the promotion and development of the amusement game industry in Taiwan. First of all, the Electronic Game Establishment Management Regulations is strongly disliked by the whole industry. Therefore, DOC obviously has lots of room to make improvements on the policy adjustments. However, the negative perception of the amusement game industry also needs to be reversed as well. Gaining public acceptance is an urgent and essential task for the industry to overcome. In order to reach this goal, amusement game related operators should not give up making efforts in holding edutainment activities to refresh their images.

Second, the Executive Yuan of Taiwan is going to conduct a structural reengineering in 2012. Basically, MOEA will merge the DOC and Industrial Development Bureau into a new sector. The Bureau of Foreign Trade will take over the administrative matters originally controlled by the DOC while the industrial development matters will be transferred to the new sector. Structural changes will bring positive effects on the development of the domestic market since different units keep varied resources. For instance, the Bureau of Foreign Trade keeps trade promotion funds and the Industrial Development Bureau seizes abundant R&D resources in the field of digital content. Regarding my new role next year, I am committed to assist the industry more. In a broader sense, including NTD 40 billion from the amusement game industry, the digital content industry has reaped NTD 500 billion and grew 14% last year. By the way, the Action Plan for the Development of Digital Content Industry has been approved by the Executive Yuan last year. We hope this project will bring the more positive energy to the amusement game industry. On a whole, well goes the saying that "Virtue is not left alone." Let us unite together and witness the success of the amusement game industry again in the future.
Chairman of CGIA, Jin-Hua Liou
It is my pleasure to attend this magnificent annual industrial exhibition in Taiwan. Thus, I cannot miss this chance to introduce the current development of the Chinese e-game industry to the operators and professionals on the show floor. According to the official statistics, 360,000 registered e-game businesses in China raked in RMB 1.235 trillion in 2010. Our amusement game industry consists of the industries of online game, mobile phone game, webgame, video game, console game and arcade machine and earned RMB 95.8 billion last year in total. As a matter of fact, the global amusement game industry roughly brought in USD 121.28 billion last year, which is equal to RMB 846 billion. In other words, 11.8% of the global amusement game revenue in 2010 was generated by the Chinese amusement game industry. Among the previously mentioned game categories, with the help of 29,000 local amusement centers, the Chinese arcade machine industry has the highest income that reached RMB 58 billion in 2010. Cross-Strait cooperation boosts and enhances the economic growth in many regions of China. Taking Guangdong province as an example, a great number of Taiwanese corporations that have advantages in advanced technologies have marched into this market and established many partnerships with local businesses. Therefore, we keep encouraging Taiwanese businesses and even other enterprises around the world to invest in China in the coming future.
 
Exciting game tournaments with vigorous players
From gaming to amusement games, IGS showcased a wide variety of eye-catching games and amusement machines.

Moreover, invited by Saint-Fan International, DJ Yoshitaka, a celebrated Japanese music producer in the field of anime and games showed up at Saint-Fun's booth. It was his first overseas activity for being a judge and having interactions such as taking pictures, shaking hands, and signing autographs with his fans. With the appearance of this influential guest and the competitors' enthusiasm, the whole activity was full of excitement and joy and successfully came to an end.

Furthermore, featuring prizes worth NTD 50,000, China Cup Street Basketball International Tournament entered its sixth edition since it was incepted in 2005 and its scale and number of participants keep growing year by year. Some of the TV stations in Taiwan even delivered live broadcasts of this event. After three hours of bloody and cutthroat competition, the final result of the regional champion came out. The top four male players were Bing-Jun Lin, Yu-Ting Zhou, Pei-Lun Wu, and Pei-Xin Hou accordingly and the top four female players went to Jin-Feng Huang, Wan-Pei Zhou, Mei-Shan Luo, and Kai-Xin Zhan.

In reaction to the rise of the market in China, most machine developers and manufacturers around the world make some adjustments to their developing strategies for this gigantic consuming power.
GTI Asia Taipei Expo is being considered as an international exhibition that offers the most diversified product lines in Asia Pacific Region nowadays. The transformation of the show is highly connected with the development of Taiwan's amusement game industry, which is now targeting more on its export. Among the countries around the world, Taiwan's amusement game industry is advantageous in having a well-structured industrial chain including program design and manufacturing accessories like IC boards, cabinets and other items in guaranteed quality. Moreover, with years of experience in providing OEM and ODM services for global enterprises, the amusement game industry in Taiwan now has established its own operational procedure and system, which covers developing games, marketing, and resource management.

n 2010, the US and European markets recovered slightly but the unemployment rates in both regions were still high. Middle-class people's consumption power decreased drastically due to the overall economic condition. Including last year's AM Show in Japan, G2E in Macau, G2E and IAAPA in the US, and even ICE, which was just held this January in the UK, the number of exhibitors in most game-related exhibitions around the world apparently shrank. The stagnant economy also slowed down the new arrival of creative works from the developed world. By contrast, in the GTI Expo this year, Taiwanese game developers kept releasing creative products no matter in the field of hardware, program design or game design. For instance, Taiwan Yuanmei's latest pinball machine "Hunter Pinball" applies a large-size LCD panel that elevates the pinball machine's hardware standard. Feng Yi Fu also brings new idea to its pinball machine "Football Carnival" via combining typical game play and running lights. Hypaa exhibits the whole new version of "Mozarc," which had caught a great amount of visitors' attention last year.

The exhibits like "Fishing Expert" and "Burger Expert" on the show floor this year revealed that China's huge market potential had pushed Taiwanese game developers to adjust their business strategies and launch more products catering for the Chinese consumers. Some games added simplified Chinese characters to their language options and some games used celebrated sceneries in China as their background images. Long before the government of Taiwan signing ECFA with China, Taiwanese enterprises had already reached a consensus that entering the Chinese market is an inevitable and unstoppable trend. Moreover, many industrial leaders pointed out the rise of the Chinese market not only made up their losses in the decreased domestic market but also provided a bigger product demands. Ke-Zhu Li, the president of IGS shared his opinion that, "45% of our revenue is generated by the Chinese market." General Director of JT-Comatz Trading, Jing-Shan Zhou, also expressed that, "We will focus more on the Chinese market from 2011. It is time to move forward so we launched several new products at the GTI Expo this year."

Nowadays, even though the amusement game market in Asia has a stronger demand in game machines and related equipment than in the Europe and US market, it is recommended that Taiwanese businesses still have to operate their businesses in a steady and pragmatic way by laying the groundwork firmly in Taiwan and then making gradual and meticulous deployments globally. General Manager of Injoy Motion Jiang-Xun Jian said, "During this period of time, it would be a perfect moment to make adjustments step by step. The western market is going to revive so that we need to find out a suitable deployment around the globe and make sure that we will be ready for embracing the next heyday of the European and American market." Faced with the future, GTI Asia Taipei Expo will continue to shoulder the responsibilities of assisting the upgrade of the amusement game industry, facilitating communications between industrial and academic sectors and creating more and more domestic and overseas business opportunities. The 19th GTI Asia Taipei Expo now is temporarily scheduled on May 10~12, 2012. Please check the exhibition information updates via following issues of GTI Magazines or go to www.gtiexpo.com.tw.
