The Ocean Connects Us All! Grand Opening of the “Formosa-Hawaii Cultural Festival” Marking the CIP’s 30th Anniversary, Taiwan Joins Hands with Hawaii to Bring Indigenous Culture to the World
Speaking at the opening ceremony, CIP Minister Ljaucu‧Zingrur said that cultural experiences often move people deeply, and that sound policy can turn that emotion into lasting institutions. As the CIP marks its 30th anniversary this year, the opening ceremony of the Formosa-Hawaii Cultural Festival featured a special tribute honoring individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Indigenous affairs. Among these forerunners and partners are those who advocated internationally for the rights of their people, devoted their lives to rescuing endangered Indigenous languages, brought international acclaim to Taiwan through music, dance, and sport, and even those who became guardians of their communities for leading the swift evacuation of an entire village amid a raging storm and rebuilding it in the aftermath. In paying tribute to these unsung heroes, the Minister expressed hope that this honor will be passed on, inspiring more talented citizens to join in advancing Indigenous affairs. He also expressed that this cultural celebration is powerful proof that Indigenous culture is not only flourishing on Taiwan’s own soil, but is also embracing the world with the utmost confidence and openness as it steps onto the international stage.
The festival’s biggest draw is its lineup of top international music and dance performances from across the Pacific, alongside Golden Melody Award-winning stars, paired with a lively, delicious, and fun Austronesian-themed marketplace, together creating the most exuberant summer party of the season! The whole venue is awash in the romance of Aloha. Visitors can savor Hawaiian Kona coffee and Indigenous delicacies in the Austronesian-themed exhibition area, try their hand at Hula dancing and lei making, and enter a daily lucky draw for limited-quantity market vouchers. Families of all ages can spend a leisurely afternoon into the evening enjoying live music while browsing the market stalls, experiencing firsthand the distinctive cultural charm and way of life shared by Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples and Hawaii.
The three-day program offered one highlight after another. During the day, the State of Hawaii Office in Taipei brought in the internationally acclaimed Ke Kai O Kahiki, a dance group known for powerful, masculine hula performances, to showcase the depth of Hawaiian culture. Furthermore, the CIP has invited music and dance troupes from Palau and Tuvalu to share the profound bonds of Pacific heritage. As night falls, Golden Melody Award-winning stars took the stage in succession. On July 31, “The Call of Mountains and Sea” kicked off with performances by Usay Kawlu, Utjung Tjakivalid, and Kasiwa; on August 1, “The Night of Island Sounds” brought Princess Ai and Abao back-to-back; and on August 2, “Aloha Night” closed the festival with a grand finale by Biung and Abus, pouring out the soul of the ocean through the most contemporary electronic beats and rhythms.
The CIP and the State of Hawaii Office in Taipei warmly invited people across Taiwan to bring family and friends to the New Taipei City Citizen Plaza this weekend, to enjoy live music, explore the marketplace, and experience firsthand this not-to-be-missed summer party rich in culture.

Truecaller Ads Launches ‘Truecaller Pulse’; An Industry First Declared Intent Media Solution
The Big Idea: Consumer Choice Is the Most Valuable Signal in Modern Advertising
Digital advertising has long relied on inferred signals like browsing history. Truecaller Pulse replaces guesswork with declared choice, allowing brands to ask consumers directly what they want.
When consumers declare their intent, every part of a campaign; planning, targeting, and messaging becomes significantly smarter and more efficient.
Truecaller Pulse: a new category of consumer intelligence transforming real-time declared choice into activation-ready audiences at massive scale
How It Works: Declare. Analyse. Activate.
Embedded within Truecaller’s high-attention, privacy-safe environments and reaching over 500 million active users,
- Declare: Brands deploy interactive ads asking direct questions about purchase plans or preferences.
- Analyse: Responses are converted into signals across Preferences, Discovery, and Purchase Intent.
- Activate: Real-time audience segments enable immediate retargeting with tailored messaging while intent is fresh.
The result is an always-on Continuous Consumer Intelligence Loop with research, audience-building, and media activation unified into a single, self-reinforcing workflow.
Built for the Full Range of a Marketer’s Strategic Needs
- Product Launches — Capture early consumer reactions and validate demand before scaling spend.
- Category Discovery — Surface emerging preferences and whitespace opportunities across segments.
- Competitive Switching — Identify consumers actively in-market for alternatives and win them with precision conquesting.
The platform provides a layered intelligence stack: Pulse Signals for real-time responses, Pulse Insights for regional data, and Pulse Trends for shifting sentiment.
What This Means for the Industry
“Truecaller Pulse gives marketers something extremely valuable: direct consumer answers at unprecedented scale. When consumers tell you what they want, media becomes more precise, campaigns become more efficient, and every marketing decision becomes better informed,” said Hemant Arora, VP & Global Head, Truecaller Ads.
“The intelligence outputs from Truecaller Pulse extend well beyond campaign activation. Pulse Signals deliver real-time declared responses. Pulse Insights surface aggregated intelligence, regional preferences, emerging product trends, category shifts. Pulse Trends reveal what’s changing in consumer sentiment before it shows up in sales data. All of this feeds back into smarter future campaigns,” added Athul Prabhu, Product Director, Truecaller Ads.
With Truecaller Pulse, Truecaller Ads isn’t just adding a feature to its stack, it’s making the case for a new industry standard: to stop inferring intent. Start capturing it.
