Britain Named by Taiwan Gov as Global GreenTech Leader

The two other winning proposals came from Hungary and the Philippines, with each winner awarded a $20,000 prize. The announcement concludes a five-month campaign, with the competition receiving 396 proposals from 45 countries worldwide.

Taiwan is home to Nvidia, the second-most valuable tech company on earth, and its growing voice in the international technology scene gives this year's award additional significance. The UK's strong performance in the competition, with four of the sixteen finalists coming from the UK, is further evidence of the international community's confidence in Britain's tech and environmental sector.

Stan Shih, Founder and Honorary Chairman of Acer Group, attended the finals, underscoring the campaign's significance. He emphasised that the initiative is poised to generate a global impact by attracting international attention and fostering collaborative engagement, ultimately showcasing Taiwan's cutting-edge green technologies and innovative sustainable solutions on the world stage.

Ms Cynthia Kiang, Director General of the International Trade Administration under Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, expressed her belief that the project became so successful "because it truly manifested what should be done to save our environment while doing good business."

Ms Kiang added: "Through this initiative, we were able to showcase the creativity of proposers around the globe by combining Taiwanese sustainable green products and solutions. Our aim is to promote Taiwan's sustainable green industry and foster international cooperation for global sustainable development."

Each of the three winning companies was required to submit a proposal for a project that could help support global environmental initiatives.
