TOC > About MiTAC > 2.1 Message from the President
Message from the President
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, MiTAC started off as a PC
manufacturer and witnessed the rapid growth of global
technological industries and the passing of economic
booms. Presently, MiTAC is making aggressive
deployments in the cloud application market as a cloud
solution provider to deliver comprehensive application
services while running its ODM, JDM and OPM operations
and managing its three major brands (TYAN, Mio,
Magellan).
Initiated in 2002, the Y.S. Educational Foundation was
jointly established by a number of corporations including
MiTAC Information Technology Co., MiTAC International
Corporation, United Gas, and Synnex. Starting in 2003,
the foundation launched the “Y.S. Innovative Digital
Content Competition” across several college campuses as
MiTAC’s solution for the promotion of CRS. Through direct
encouragement and facilitation of development for the
digital content industry, MiTAC is making a conscious
effort to inspire students to involve themselves in the
digital content industry so as to inject new creativity into
the domestic sector. More importantly, the solution serves
as a channel for MiTAC to give the corporation’s resources
and expertise, within reasonable scope, back to society,
thereby fulfilling the goal of “giving back to society what we
take from it”.
Following the increase in energy costs and the lack of a promising solution to
address the issue of global warming, MiTAC has established relevant green
policies , such as the reduction of carbon dioxide emission, support for
alternative energy and so forth, to achieve its commitments to environmental
protection. Through the act of policy making, MiTAC is taking concrete
actions to protect our planet to fulfill its responsibilities as a citizen of Earth.
“Design For Environment” is an initiative created to minimize our impact on
the environment;
“Life Cycle Thinking” is a philosophy of holistic thinking from the perspective
of product lifecycle that begins from the acquisition of part and spans
through design, manufacturing, production to conclude at disposal at waste
processing facilities. Together these form a complete philosophy of
environmental protection.
MiTAC launched its environmental projects and research in 2004 and
became a sector pioneer by completing its Green Product management
system in 2005. The system serves as a platform for suppliers to respond in
real time regarding controlled banned chemical substances so that MiTAC
could effectively reduce carbon emissions through the selection of suitable
materials for energy and products. MiTAC has gone to great lengths to
ensure compliance with major international environmental protection labels
for its OEM products and products under its own brand. These accreditations
include the standard territorial environmental protection labels, the Blue
Angel Label in Germany, the Nordic White Swan label, the SEPA label in
China, the TGM eco-label in Taiwan, the PC Green Label in Japan and so
forth.

Message from the President
In August 2011, MiTAC collaborated with Aim Culture
Corporation (also a company long committed to the cause
of green design) to host the Green Design Product Tour
Exhibition to contribute to the protection of the
environment. MiTAC has featured three recent signature
products at the exhibition: the Magellan Roadmate 3065 –
the world’s first GPS navigation system with full carbon
footprint inventory. MiTAC also displayed its thin client PC
that has received numerous eco-friendly labels around the
world with its ECO Design that emphasizes low power
consumption, easy disassembly and easy recycling with
environmentally friendly materials. The other signature
ECO Design product exhibited at the event was MiTAC’s
Maestro 650 All-in-one PC. In addition to embodying the
aforementioned design spirit, the product also features a
motion sensor and energy-saving functionalities that
represent a new and innovative selling point of MiTAC
product design.
In the wake of natural disasters that have devastated several nations around
the world in recent years, the promotion of environmental protection has
become part of a shared consensus. Driven by our commitment to corporate
social responsibility and our devotion to the natural environment, MiTAC not
only emphasizes the management of greenhouse gas emissions but also
prompted renowned international distributors to ask their business partners
to disclose relevant carbon footprint information. With major international
conglomerates requesting their manufacturers to implement inspection of
greenhouse gases, creating an inventory of carbon footprint of products, or
exerting pressure to disclose product carbon footprint through the global
industrial supply chain, system assembly operators in the green supply chain
can take advantage of MiTAC’s supplier system to adopt relevant models of
supply chain management to be extended to other upper-stream suppliers.
Ultimately, MiTAC hopes to achieve the management goal of “environmental
friendliness” at all raw material supplier ends to reduce environmental risks
for all products and attain harmony between humanity, industrial
development and the environment.

TOC > Environmental Policy > 4.3 Green Policy
4.3 Green Policy
Because of rising energy costs and the lack of a promising solution to address the issue of global warming, MiTAC has
established relevant green policies, such as the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, support for alternative energy and
so forth, to fulfill our responsibilities as a citizen of the planet.
2004: MiTAC launched its environmental project and research program. For meeting the directives of the EU and related
international requirements, MiTAC established a green product management system (the GP system).
2005-2006: MiTAC introduced lead-free production process technology and a registration system for recycling, WEEE 3R
computing and reduction of packing materials, and the design of green packaging. MiTAC was also the first in the industry
to synchronize its steps with firms like Intel and Celestica Delphi by adopting the IPC-1752 standard (the declaration of
materials component management) released by The Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuit, or IPC
2007－
－2009:
• MiTAC concentrated on satisfying the requirements of ErP and REACH of the EU and reaching its obligations in
environmental protection as an electronic firm. MiTAC is at the lower end of the supply chain. Therefore, MiTAC
accelerated the upgrading of its capacity in green products and parts and components in the industry by demanding its
suppliers comply with the standard IECQ QC080000 on HSPM so that they reduced or prohibited the use of hazardous
materials in the course of production.
• From 2007, MiTAC participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project, or CDP, which is an independent and non-profit
organization housing the world’s biggest database of global climatic changes. MiTAC makes use of this platform to
conduct company-wide inspection on the emission of greenhouse gases and disclose information on environmental
performance, analyze the investment risks and opportunities related to climatic change, and create a strategic response
to the situation.
2010: MiTAC took part in the inspection on carbon content of products in connection with the project and research
program, and completed the first PND PCR (portable navigational devices product classification rules) and PND carbon
footprint inspection.
2011: MiTAC initiated its supplier carbon emission management investigation by inviting key supply chain members to
take part in the “Organizational Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory” in order to assist MiTAC suppliers to achieve early
adoption of carbon emission management through the compilation of supplier carbon inventory data.

4.4 Challenges and Opportunities for
the Environment
In the summer of 2011, the terrible floods that struck Pakistan lasted two months and rendered 6 million people homeless in addition to
destroying all farmland in the area. Today, the victims of the floods still depend on international relief and aid. At the same time, Russia
went through a severe draught and high temperatures severely affected wheat farms. As a result, crop prices sky-rocketed. Apart from the
global economic recession, the unprecedented changes in climate patterns across the world pose great challenges to human societies.
The great earthquake and floods that devastated Japan and Thailand respectively resulted in substantial impact to global supply chains
(automobile and electronics manufacturing plants and even agriculture invested by Taiwanese businesses were struck). Consequently,
we have no choice but to face the risk of natural disasters worldwide. These two disasters served as the perfect reminder for investors to
conduct appropriate risk evaluations, whether topological, climatic, utility supply-related or otherwise, prior to making an investment in
order to minimize potential losses.
In the past decade, the issue of climate change has captured the attention of financial institutions, individual investors and businesses
alike due to the fact that specific environmental conditions pose specific threats to the global economy. Such threats could affect the
distribution of wealth in a society, the acquisition of resources, energy prices and even the value of companies. Nonetheless, these
difficult challenges may also become opportunities.
We have deliberated on the issue for many years. In addition to the goals of cost reduction and increasing profit, we now realize that
MiTAC has to develop and establish its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to strengthen its responsiveness to disasters and rescue
capacities by means of preplanning deployment of personnel. This can help achieve effective response for key businesses and would in
turn mitigate the impact of disasters and help MiTAC to maintain normal operations and momentum .

4.5 Inspection of Greenhouse Gases
In light of the increasing severity of global warming, and in response to the development in the control of greenhouse
gases and the future requirements of the reduced emission of greenhouse gases, MiTAC unveiled its greenhouse gas
inspection program in August 2007, with 2006 as the base year. This inspection covered the production bases in China.
With the assistance of SGS Taiwan, MiTAC launched the greenhouse gas inspection and training programs for the
certification of qualified inspectors in accordance with ISO 14064-1.Under this standard, MiTAC systematically
established the list of items for inspection and conducted the inspection of greenhouse gases, and established relevant
internal documents and procedures for inspection as reference for the effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
and improvement in the future. To achieve its goals in environmental protection and cost reduction, and reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions, MiTAC continues to introduce energy-saving plans.
The greenhouse gas report contains information on the sources of emission and the absorption of six types of
greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, PFC, HFC, and SF6, as stated in The Greenhouse Gas
Protocol. MiTAC gathers information on the identification of the sources of emission and related data and conducts an
inspection once a year. The inspection result is primarily 90% to 95% outsourced computers.
Results of the internal emission inventory in 2011 are as follows:
• Direct GHG emissions (scope 1): The total volume of direct emissions came to 2,464 metric tons of CO2e/year,
constituting approximately 5% of total emissions.
• Indirect GHG emissions (scope 2): The total volume of indirect emissions came to 43,683 metric tons CO2e/year,
constituting approximately 95% of total emissions. The main sources of emission were purchased power and steam.
In 2011, MiTAC also initiated organizational greenhouse gas emission inventory for suppliers of different products to
better understand their carbon emission inventory capabilities so that MiTAC could assist them to become early adopters
of the carbon emission inventory. MiTAC is concerned with the issues of global climate change, protecting earth’s
resources and fulfilling the responsibilities of corporate citizenship. In addition to continuing with the effort of greenhouse
gas emission control to lower operational costs, MiTAC will work towards achieving better resource efficiency, energy
conservation and environmental protection for the realization of sustainable energy development and gear the industry
towards the goal of a low-carbon economy.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………….....
MiTAC is concerned about global climate change and the protection of the earth’s resources, and aims to fulfill
its obligation as a responsible corporate citizen. As such, MiTAC will persist in its effort to control greenhouse
gas emissions for reducing the cost of operation and aim at the efficient use of resources and energy,
environmental protection, and sustainable energy development.

Initiated organizational greenhouse gas emission inventory for suppliers of different
product types
Results of internal greenhouse emission inventory in 2011:
The Greenhouse Gas Emission Report covers the sources of emission and absorption for six greenhouse gases
including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, tetrafluoromethane, chlorodifluoromethane and hexafluoroethane
according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for the calculation of emissions and collection of data. Greenhouse gas
emission inspection for a given year shall be conducted in the following year and the result of inspection revealed that
90-95% of externally purchased power accounted for the main sources of MiTAC’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Results of the internal emission inventory in 2011 are as follow:
• Direct GHG emissions (scope 1): The total volume of direct emissions came to 2,464 metric tons of CO2e/year,
constituting approximately 5% of total emission.
• Indirect GHG emission (scope 2): The total volume of indirect emissions came to 43,683 metric tons CO2e/year,
constituting approximately 95% of total emission. The main sources of emission were purchased power and steam.

Results of supplier emissions in 2011 from the
inspection of greenhouse gases
In order to achieve the goals of energy conservation and carbon
reduction, we must first determine the existing status of carbon
emissions. And as such, the calculation of carbon emissions has
become the basis for industrial environmental protection. Driven by
the spirit to achieve sustainable development, MiTAC has invited
important members of its supply chain to work together towards the
creation of corporate growth and harmony with the environment in
response to the latest international trends.
According to international carbon emission calculations, demands can
be separated into three categories; investment firms launched the
Carbon Disclosure Projects (CDP); supply chains proposed “carbon
information requirements” and consumers wanted to learn more
about a “carbon foot print label that will reveal more information
about the eco-friendliness of products.”
Since 2008, MiTAC has cooperated with international carbon
disclosure projects to examine relevant internal and external trends. In
2010, MiTAC initiated the carbon footprint inventory for Mio products
and requested carbon footprint information from suppliers to take
part in the “organizational
organizational greenhouse gas emission inventory”
inventory with
the goal of assisting them to become early adopters of carbon
emission management by compiling relevant supplier data. Suppliers’
cooperation with the project would be deemed an important criterion
in MiTAC’s consideration for long-term partnerships.
Results of 2011 supplier

analysis:
• A total of 12 key suppliers chosen
based on part types
• Year of organizational greenhouse
gas emission inventory: 1/1-12/31,

The principal business of MiTAC is R&D and production assembly, including R&D in an office environment (Taiwan)
and factory production and assembly (China). The major energy consumption sources are water and electricity in
significant amounts and with considerable waste generated. Solid waste is centrally collected and transferred to
qualified contractors for handling and treatment. The refuse from factory production and assembly work can be
classified as recyclable and non-recyclable: paper waste, plastic waste, metal waste, and IC trays. Tin refuse is
recycled by the suppliers and is also recycled and reused. These measures help to reduce the use of resources and
the generation of dumps.
MiTAC has strived to meet the target of reducing waste generation by 110 (tons) before 2011/12/31. The Company
has no water pollutants and has inspected the quality of wastewater every year. The result shows compliance with
relevant standards. Household wastewater is sent to the treatment center of the city government. The emission of
gas pollutants from the production process is within the allowable limit. The Company has not been subject to control
for air pollutants, water pollutants and contamination related to poisonous substances. Energy efficiency has been
seriously considered in the design, installation and running of the production process and equipment in the plant.

5.1.2 Customer Service in Branding
MiTAC carries a leading navigation product brand, Mio, and a leader of high-end
servers, TYAN.
Mio has ten customer service centers and more than 30 repair and maintenance centers worldwide at the service of
consumers in some 40 countries. In addition, Mio also provides customer-oriented proactive innovation services for
meeting the needs of customers. The service revolves around “professionalism”, “thoughtfulness”, and “convenience”
and the purpose is to enhance customer satisfaction and reliability of the brand.
With this idea, Mio launched the “Home Visit Service” in 2006, the first of its kind in the industry. Under this service
program, Mio will dispatch personnel to the customer to pick up items for repair and deliver the repaired items back to
the customer. This event was echoed with the online progress inquiry system and cooperation with FamilyMart for
picking up and delivering items for repair. In 2007, Mio started to hold the “Mio Training Camp” regularly, the first of
its kind in the industry, by providing training in hotels for enhancing loyalty and propensity to buy. In 2008, Mio
unveiled the “Fast Graphic Update” service in cooperation with distributors whereby customers can have graphic
data updates in more than 300 service locations across Taiwan regardless of the place of purchase. The service was
free within warranty and was the most convenient service in the GPS sector. This service also helped to create aftersale profit. In 2009, Mio began installing the “Mio service knowledge management” system through which customer
experiences accumulated in the past and the opinions of customers were systematically compiled for review and
improvement. The findings were used for building up a database at the global level for sharing these experience and
knowledge through transmission and exchange and as the sources for the research and development of new
products and services. In 2011, “Mio Classroom” was launched to provide relevant training through energetic and
descriptive language and visual aids without time and space restrictions.
In 2011, Mio made further efforts to provide full-range service to its customers: namely, enhancing the transparency
of online information from product information, progress in repair, FAQ, around the clock Mio Classroom and so
forth. Mio also conveyed information to provide further protection of items sent for repair/ordering of products, and
continued its “old for new item” program to protect the rights and privileges of old customers and managed ongoing
relations with customers. Mio also listens to customers through different channels, including the satisfaction
surveys through the Mio official website, voice service and e-mail. Mio also holds events on community websites
and unofficial forums to encourage customers to give opinions and suggestions so that Mio can understand the
expectations and needs of customers better.
In addition to satisfying the needs of customers, Mio has also been actively managing its relationship with various
distribution channel partners by hosting multiple product training courses across Taiwan and staying in touch with
these partners to boost service representatives’ technical knowledge. This also allows Mio to listen to their
suggestions and improve the quality of customer services.
Mio is obliged to serve customers and protect their rights and privileges and proactively engage in service
marketing. It values the feelings of customers and continues to enrich the content of its service and improve the
quality of service as a famous brand.

5.3.1 Supplier Policy
Supplier Chain Policy for Conflict Metal, GSE & EICC
MiTAC Group seeks to develop qualified suppliers that meet the environmental protection requirements currently in
effect in order to make them green partners. MiTAC has instituted its supplier management policy and practices
evaluation and supervision of the suppliers to ensure they are conforming to the requirements of green production
in quality, delivery, environmental protection, health and safety, human rights, ethics, and CSR. MiTAC values and
is concerned about environmentally friendly issues and insists on perfecting the management of the supply chain
in order to accomplish the mission of a green enterprise.
We support the “Electronic Industry Code of Conduct “(EICC), which covers labor, health and safety, as well as
environmental standards to comply with pertinent regulations of the management system and relevant standards of
business ethics.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..………................................................
All suppliers shall declare their support of EICC publicly and actively propose a management system congruent
with the standards of EICC. Suppliers shall also apply their practice of EICC to the entire supply chain, or, at least,
demand their subcontractors recognize and adopt EICC standards.
We encourage suppliers to comply with the legal rules applicable to their countries/regions. In addition to being law
abiding, suppliers shall comply with internationally recognized standards and assume greater commitment to CSR.
…………………………………………………………………..............................................................................................
We shall make every effort to comply with the EICC with the suppliers, from the system level and the
implementation level, in order to provide a humane, safe, and green work environment.

5.3.1 Supplier Policy
Supplier Chain Policy for Conflict Metal, GSE & EICC
In recent years, materials used for product manufacturing and the social and environmental concerns that
stemmed from the process have received growing attention. For instance, minerals produced in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo have been the products of serious armed conflicts. MiTAC has never purchased raw metals
directly and we are aware that most of our suppliers have no direct purchasing relationship with mining
corporations. However, as a company, we are aware of the opportunity that lies before us to bring positive
influence to the situation. And as such, we have adopted the following practices:
1. MiTAC shall include the banning of conflict minerals as a part of its supplier green product policies to
ensure that all MiTAC products are free of conflict minerals.
1 MiTAC’s suppliers shall shoulder relevant social and environmental protection responsibilities.
MiTAC will not accept conflict minerals produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (hereinafter Congo)
2 and her surrounding nations/areas.
MiTAC suppliers shall trace the sources of Co, Au, Pd, Ta, Sn and W used in its products to ensure that these
3 metals do not come from conflict mineral regions.
4 MiTAC suppliers shall relay these requirements to their upstream suppliers.
2. MiTAC shall implement supplier inventory:
It is possible to achieve “management at source” by implementing investigations of smelters. In 2011, MiTAC
requested all suppliers to identify the smelters for the materials they source in the existing supplier inventory and to
submit the information to the responsible units for EICC/GeSI auditing and inventory for verification.

5.3.2 Code of Conduct and Ethics for Suppliers - EICC
MiTAC has implemented the EICC internally and also established an EICC project for upstream suppliers,
which will be implemented in different phases. The continuation of EICC project promotion will ensure
MiTAC and its suppliers comply with relevant EICC codes of conduct to create a safe, eco-friendly and
humane supply chain environment.
1st phase: EICC training and dissemination ( 2007-2008)
MiTAC’s supplier quality management department implemented relevant EICC education courses (covering EICC
content description, auditing skills and so forth) internally and official disseminated them. MiTAC relayed relevant
EICC promotion requirements to its upstream suppliers and introduced an EICC audit checklist in its operations.
During this period, MiTAC also hosted annual supplier meetings to carry out direct EICC training and further
dissemination, followed by asking suppliers to establish relevant EICC promotion plans. This laid down a positive
foundation for MiTAC in launching the EICC project for the regulation of upstream suppliers.
2nd phase: EICC auditing and improvement tracking (2008-2010)
MiTAC defined the standards of supplier selection for EICC audits to appraise labor-intensive suppliers and vendors
of relatively high environmental pollution based on risk coefficient management principles to identify high risk
suppliers for the EICC audit. By the end of 2010, we completed the EICC audits on 89 suppliers and continued our
supervision, tracking, and confirmation of the corrective actions on nonconforming items. Most nonconforming items
are being corrected or handled with reasonable preventive action plans.
3rd phase: Continuation of EICC promotion to new suppliers (2011)
In 2011, MiTAC continued with its promotion of EICC to new suppliers and implemented EICC audits with tracking of
relevant corrective/preventive measures for seven new suppliers that had relatively higher risk coefficients.

5.3.3 Supplier Process Control - Best of Practice
In addition to the continuation of the Best of Practice campaign for suppliers of nine customized IT product materials
(PSU, PCB, Chassis, Cable, Heat-sink, RJ45 Connector, Choke, MLCC & DIMM slot) in the second half of 2011,
MiTAC’s Supplier Quality Management Unit also initiated the Best of Practice campaign for its automotive PCB &
Housing suppliers in order to remain compliant with stringent demands from the automobile industry on product
manufacturing and quality.

Best of Practice requires suppliers to introduce
optimized control schemes/parameters in their
operations based on the 4M1E checklist for
manufacturing quality control to improve the
quality performance of raw materials at the
manufacturing phase and client end, thereby
achieving a win-win outcome.
According to RMA statistics in the production
line, the yield rate of materials improved
substantially and the quality stability of
materials meets the quality objectives.
Suppliers once struggling with product quality
prior to their participation in the campaign now
show significant improvement in terms of
quality consistency.

6.1 Giving Back to Society
As always, MiTAC is enchanted by the notion of “taking from the society and giving back to society” and only
a harmonious society can produce a blueprint for the sustainable development of an enterprise. Only a society
of perpetual progress can make room for the sustainable growth of an enterprise.
…………………………………………..........................................................................................................................
The three perpetual pillars of MiTAC:
Develop good people in
technology
Advocate low carbon
living
Explore the beauty of
Taiwan
Give back to society with professionalism, products and services. Get involved in public relations and
marketing and support social concerns in order to serve society better.
…………………………………………..........................................................................................................................
6.1.1 YSED Cup on Campus for the Development of
Good People in Technology and Design
MiTAC and other enterprises sponsored the establishment of YSED. Since 2003, YSED has organized the “YSED
Cup Creative Design Contest” for the promotion of design in education. The targeted participants are students of
higher education and software talent cultivation education. Through close interactions in the contest, MiTAC
employees share their industry experience with students, particularly their experience in brand product design and
global marketing, and navigation and travel applications. They encourage students to apply creativity to portable
devices and software applications.
………………………………………….........................................................................................………………………………
In addition, MiTAC provides an opportunity for students to engage in practical training at MiTAC during their summer
holidays and hopes students can share their experience of the industry and come to understand the needs of
enterprises. This practical training experience will help them in acquiring professional knowledge when returning to
school after the holidays. MiTAC hopes this type of contest can conquer school campuses and allow students to get a
different form of creative stimulation and become a driving force for the industrial upgrading of Taiwan!

International Car Free Day originated in Europe. Ever since France launched the campaign of “In Town,
Without My Car” in 1998, residents of 35 cities have taken part in the campaign by refraining from driving
on September 22. In 2002, the campaign led to the birth of “European Mobility Week” across Europe and
the event involves a series of carless day activities. The event received a positive response and was
adopted around the world, including Taiwan, and gradually evolved into the 922 International Car Free
Day campaign today. This year’s International Car Free Day features the theme of “Less CO2 and More
Smiles”, which encourages the general populace to cultivate the habit of energy consumption and carbon
reduction (i.e. employee carpooling, shutting down idle PCs and choosing not to drive for one day in a
week) in their day-to-day lives.
MiTAC has always taken the subjects of energy conservation and environmental protection very seriously
and as such, MiTAC has worked with Mio this year to participate in this year’s International Car Free Day
in Taipei and its theme of “Less CO2 and More Smiles” by hosting the “Car Free Lifestyle Concert &
Creative Fair” at Da-an Forest Park to be a part of the low-carbon movement.

6.1.3 MiTAC to Host Product Design Tour Exhibition in
Support of Green Design and Taiwanese Designers
Innovation has always been a core value at MiTAC. And since the Company has spared no effort in the design of
green products, MiTAC collaborated with Aim Culture to host the Product Design Tour Exhibition with the
support of President Billy Ho.
MiTAC featured three recent signature products in the company’s Green Product Display Area: the Magellan Roadmate
3065 – the world’s first GPS navigation system with full carbon footprint inventory. MiTAC also displayed its thin client
PC that has received numerous eco-friendly label across the world with its ECO Design that emphasizes low power
consumption, easy disassembly and easy recycling along with environmental friendly materials. The other signature
ECO Design product exhibited at the event was MiTAC’s Maestro 650 All-in-one PC. In addition to embodying the
aforementioned design spirit, the product also features a motion sensor and energy-saving functionalities as a new and
innovative selling point of MiTAC product design.
Aim Culture provided the space of exhibition, which is built from Reboard materials. Through the creative designs of
Reboard, Aim Culture strives to create a brand new experience for visitors to an office space that is filled with an
extensive display of innovative and aesthetically appealing products designed in Taiwan. Hopefully through the process
of appreciation, the items on exhibition would help visitors to reinvigorate their brains and be fully charged for their work
at hand.
