SDG Asia


SDG Asia, formally the Asia-Pacific Forum & Exposition for Sustainability, is an annual Taiwanese trade exhibition and forum held in Taipei, dedicated to promoting sustainable development, ESG strategies, and Net-zero emissions in the Asia-Pacific region.

History

The expo was first held in 2022, responding to Taiwan's pathway toward net-zero emissions and the growing importance of SDGs and sustainability in the region. It rapidly evolved into a premier platform for cross-sector collaboration in sustainability.
The 2023 event carried the theme "Road to Net Zero", showcasing showcases across eight core themes—such as Policy, Cities, Energy, Education, Healthcare, and Corporations—and included forums and the inaugural Asia-Pacific Sustainability Action Awards.
The 2024 exposition adopted the theme “Sustainability Wave”, and introduced ten exhibition zones including Sustainable Architecture, Sustainable Finance, and Sustainable Talents. The summit and forum program featured discussions on developing sustainable cities, net-zero emissions, industry transition, and international cooperation.
By 2025, the expo had grown further. The 4th SDG Asia under the theme “Charge Towards Change” featured over 1,000 booths and hundreds of exhibitors across sectors including government, academia, healthcare, NGOs, and industry. Over 35,000 attendees participated in the prior edition, and organizers anticipated over 50,000 visitors in 2025.
