Based on the theme of “Dual Axis Intelligent Manufacturing and Sustainable Future”, TMTS 2024 is the first exhibition space to use the concept of an ecosystem to create a fusion exhibition space under the dual axes of digital transformation and green transformation. It also aims to convey the possibilities of diversified industrial applications through different exhibition themes.
The five major elements of digital transformation are included: Smart Manufacturing, Data Analytics and Cloud Computing, AIoT, Digital Twin/Human-Machine Collaboration, and Blockchain Technology. The five major elements of green transformation are also included: Smart Energy Conservation, Environmental Certification, Resource Recycling and Reuse, Green Supply Chain, and Sustainable Product Design. The main products in this exhibition demonstrate the determination of Taiwan's machine tool industry to continue pursuing technological innovation, transformation and upgrades.

During the exhibition, more than 50 machines will be displayed in a row at the same time, exemplifying the best of the creative experience and presenting a cross-field intelligent ecosystem.
To encourage machine tool manufacturers to actively respond to the challenges of the green economy trend, TMBA has launched TMTS 2024 to encourage research and development into energy-saving equipment or components to demonstrate the strength of green transformation through the "Energy Saving Label for the Machine Tool Industry" evaluation. A total of 49 products from 28 companies were evaluated, with the judges looking at 18 gold products (including 3 components) and 29 silver.
