Beyond technology and product displays, the team also utilized the pavilion's stage space for delivering the latest achievements to the audience. The vivid speeches, open-stage design, and interactive question-and-answer sessions drew crowds to presentations. This not only invisibly enhances the image of the pavilion’s dedicated effort but also presents an excellent opportunity for the team to connect with the market. Furthermore, T5GIP planned career exploration lectures for university students, allowing them to observe market developments through exhibition visits, engage in in-depth exchanges with research teams, and interact with industry veterans to understand industry trends, which aims to nurture the next generation of outstanding talents.
