Trends in Focus
Starting from the four alliances' strategies, we trace industry trends as they form and the partnership questions worth researching.
This site is continuously updated.
Background
The four alliances' strategies share a direction: from single companies exporting single products toward alliances exporting as a group.
Trend features trace how that shift looks in each industry and point to questions readers can verify further.
Feature: exporting as an alliance
The Smart City exhibition, Taiwan Innovation Connection: Global Industry Export, does not center on single-company displays. It pools alliance resources to bring system solutions to international markets.
This matches the Digital Industries Alliance's aim to move from exporting single products to exporting system solutions.
