Green Actions

This year, Taipei welcomes the 23rd Annual Congress of the Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Society of Asia. The city is a vibrant blend of culture, tradition, and modernity and, in 2023, it is also pledging for a world where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.

At PENSA 2023, we also understand the importance of aligning our congress with global sustainability efforts, as we believe we all share a responsibility toward a better future for ourselves and the coming generations.
