The Taiwan Excellence Awards are yearly awards that are given out by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) to encourage Taiwan industries to upgrade and incorporate innovation and value into their products. The selection of awards is based on four criteria: R&D, design, quality, and marketing. Each product must score evenly in each category in order to be selected. An international panel of judges is invited to participate in this selection. Finalists are decided after several rounds of evaluations.
