May 18, 2018

‘Innovations & Startups’ will be one of the main themes at this year's COMPUTEX TAIPEI technology extravaganza. Now in its 38th year, the 2018 show will welcome a total of 388 startups from 21 countries to the coming InnoVEX exhibit.

Taking place across three venues at the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall, the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, and the Taipei International Conference Center from June 5th to 9th, COMPUTEX 2018 will feature a series of events and activities including pitch contests, tech forums, demos, business matchmaking sessions, workshops and startup tours.

"According to Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2018, global venture capital investment in startups hit a decade high in 2017 with over US$140 billion invested in startups," said TWTC President & CEO Walter Yeh. "We integrated highly resilient elements and forms into the exhibition to create a dynamic arena for innovations," he added.

Enabling innovators from around the world to spark technological development and build a global technology ecosystem has always been an important part of the vision and mission of COMPUTEX. Among the show's attendees this year will be representatives from Audi, La France à Taiwan (Business France), the Epoch Foundation’s Garage+, Health2Sync, the Korea Trade Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), and the Netherlands Trade and Investment Office (NTIO).

In addition to 'Innovations & Startups,' COMPUTEX 2018 will feature the latest developments in AI, 5G mobile communication, blockchain technology, IoT, and 'Gaming & VR.' With the industry's continued march toward software-hardware integration, the show will highlight the current and future trends in Android-based applications, cloud computing, smart mobility, touch and AI-enabled services as well as other software and business solutions.

The output of the Taiwan IT industry kept growing and the economy has continued to thrive as a manufacturing and advanced technology powerhouse. Over the years, COMPUTEX has become a leading platform that not only facilitates connections between Taiwan companies and the global technology community but also promotes the convergence of the world's technology resources.
