COMPUTEX 2026, one of the world’s leading exhibitions for AIoT and startup innovation, has successfully concluded today, marking another milestone in global technology collaboration. Held under the theme “AI Together,” this year’s exhibition placed strong emphasis on AI Computing, Robotics & Intelligent Mobility, and Next-Generation Technologies, bringing together global technology leaders, startups, and industry experts to highlight the future of AI-driven innovation.
The event recorded a total of 111,312 buyers and visitors from 152 countries and regions, including Japan, the United States, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, India, Thailand, and Malaysia. This strong international participation further reinforces COMPUTEX’s position as a key global platform for AI industry collaboration, technology showcases, and business matchmaking.
Physical AI Emerges as the Next Industrial Frontier
As artificial intelligence rapidly moves beyond digital systems into real-world applications, industries are increasingly investing in Physical AI solutions. According to a report by Strategy&, part of PwC, Physical AI is expected to generate approximately €430 billion in global market value by 2030, with large-scale adoption anticipated within the next three to five years across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and aerospace.
Reflecting this transformation, COMPUTEX 2026 returned to TWTC Hall 1 and introduced its first-ever AI Robotics Zone, showcasing embodied AI, robotics systems, and integrated supply chain solutions. The exhibition highlighted key technologies driving the transition from research and development to real-world industrial deployment.
To further expand its technology ecosystem, COMPUTEX also introduced the E-paper Pavilion and TechXperience zone, featuring over 180 exhibitors and adding new interactive dimensions to the exhibition experience.
Global Tech Leaders Share Vision for the Future of AI
The COMPUTEX Keynote Series once again gathered influential leaders from the global technology industry to discuss the future of AI computing, edge technologies, intelligent mobility, and next-generation platforms.
This year’s keynote speakers included:
- Cristiano R. Amon, CEO of Qualcomm
- Matt Murphy, CEO of Marvell
- Lip-Bu Tan, CEO of Intel
- Rafael Sotomayor, CEO of NXP
The keynote sessions attracted around 6,000 attendees, reflecting strong global interest in AI innovation and technological advancement.
In addition, the COMPUTEX Forum brought together 28 industry leaders across six key themes, including AI computing, robotics, and data governance. With more than 13,200 visits, the forum highlighted the growing importance of AI adoption, infrastructure development, and enterprise-scale implementation strategies.
InnoVEX 2026 Sets New Startup Milestone
The startup-focused exhibition InnoVEX 2026 achieved significant growth this year, featuring over 500 startups, an increase of more than 11% compared to last year. Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea emerged as the top participating regions, while startups from 23 countries joined the exhibition.
For the first time, InnoVEX collaborated with Plug and Play Taiwan and Japanese startup organizer Everidge, strengthening global innovation networks and expanding international market opportunities.
Nine national pavilions—including France, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Australia, Israel, Canada, Italy, and the Czech Republic—showcased innovations in AI, robotics, and intelligent mobility, reinforcing the event’s global scale.
The InnoVEX Forum, themed “AI in Action,” explored AI infrastructure, industrial deployment strategies, open-source models, and workflow transformation. Meanwhile, the InnoVEX Pitch Contest continued to connect capital, computing power, and industry validation, with the grand prize awarded to RLWRLD.
Sustainability and Visitor Experience Enhancements
COMPUTEX 2026 continued its commitment to sustainability by promoting Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) principles, aiming to create a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly exhibition environment.
The Sustainable Design Award introduced two new categories—Flagship Scale and Rising Innovator—with awards presented to ASUS and Transcend Information respectively.
Beyond technology, the exhibition also enhanced visitor experience through lifestyle integrations. The COMPUTEX Service Lounge, created in collaboration with China Airlines and GQ, combined business hospitality with cultural experiences. Interactive installations by Red Bull and Sleepy Tofu added relaxation spaces for visitors.
A large-scale generative art installation by artist Aluan Wang also transformed the entrance of Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 into an immersive interactive experience, allowing visitors to generate dynamic visual patterns on LED columns.
