Creative Expo Taiwan was first organized in 2010.
Through a number of key transformations, CET has now become the most important domestic display and trade platform of cultural and creative merchandise and image licensing. In recent years, CET has introduced the concept of curation to guide the development of cultural trends in Taiwan and inspire citizens’ thoughts on cultural issues. With a dual-emphasis on cultural curatorial exhibitions and trade fairs, CET aims to drive the development of the cultural economy through cultural value.
In the post-pandemic era, CET 2021 focuses on the themes of “Interdisciplinary Thinking of Cultural Content” and “Introduction of Smart Technology” to present three primary exhibitions halls, “Cultural Concept/Hushan1914-Creative Park”, “Merchandise Trading/Songshan Culture and Creative Park.” and “Licensing/Taipei Expo Park-Expo Dome.” CET also expands to integrate virtual channels to move towards becoming an expo of the “new format,” displaying Taiwan’s unique lifestyle aesthetics and design thinking.
