FIABCI World President Antonio Campagnoli lauded Taiwan's architectural achievements, recognizing its consistent excellence in innovative design, engineering quality, and sustainable development. He particularly commended Taiwan's initiatives in smart buildings and net-zero carbon emissions as a global and UN-supported paradigm, expressing keen interest in continued collaboration to advance sustainable architecture worldwide.

His Excellency Mark Chih-Wei Ho, Deputy Secretary-General to the President, emphasized architecture's pivotal role in fulfilling societal aspirations and enhancing quality of life. He highlighted Taiwan's strategic shift towards integrated sustainable and smart design in response to climate change and pressing urban challenges. Furthermore, he called for increasing architect engagement in green innovation and social responsibility to foster universal well-being and environmental harmony.

President Lily Chang concluded by emphasizing that the FIABCI-Taiwan Real Estate Excellence Awards symbolize a two-decade journey of ideals and dedication to fostering quality living. She urged the continuous adoption of ESG principles, net-zero emissions, and AI in future Taiwanese architecture and public works, aiming to create a safer, more beautiful, and sustainable environment for generations to come.

Prior to the award ceremony and gala dinner, FIABCI delegates were also invited to visit one of Taipei’s prominent project, Pujen Land Development’s Vision Uptown, and enjoyed the world-famous Xiaolongbao from Taiwan’s Michelin-starred restaurant Din Tai Fung. On the following day prior to their departure, they also take part in FIABCI-Taiwan’s morning talk, with speakers talking about our experience during the late World Congress in Lagos as well as the latest development and business opportunities of Nusantara, the new capital city of Indonesia.

The chapter is especially grateful to World President Antonio Campagnoli for his short yet meaningful overnight visit to Taiwan.
