As part of the delegation, Ho was accompanied by representatives of SpeedTech Energy and Sunmed Medical Group.

The green energy included solar powered products such as road/street lamps, solar water pump system, large and mini solar lights, solar powered radio, solar home system, solar traffic signs and garden lights. With 12 years in the business, SpeedTech has expanded in Central American, Caribbean, Middle East and African countries.
Sunmed Medical Group on the other hand, has been in business for over 50 years in Taiwan. They are one of the leading specialists in designing and manufacturing of aseptic rooms for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
The main purpose of CATO is to promote and strengthen bilateral relations between Taiwan and Central American countries through business cooperation and investment development.
