As AI quickly steps out of the digital environment to enter practical deployment, industries are accelerating investment in AI applications in the field of physics. According to a report by Strategy& (PwC), physical AI is expected to create about 430 billion euros of global market value by 2030 and reach large commercial scale in the next 3-5 years in fields such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and aerospace.
Reflecting this trend, COMPUTEX 2026 returns to TWTC Hall 1 and for the first time introduces AI Robotics Zone, gathering partners in the supply chain to demonstrate robots, Embodied AI technology and integrated solutions. The exhibition emphasizes key technologies to help transition from research to practical implementation. In addition, COMPUTEX also launched E-paper Pavilion and TechXperience, with more than 180 participating units, thereby expanding the depth of technology for this year's event.
COMPUTEX's Keynote sessions continue to gather influential leaders in the global technology industry to discuss the future of AI computing, edge computing, new generation platforms and smart mobility.
Speakers include Cristiano R. Amon (CEO of Qualcomm), Matt Murphy (CEO of Marvell), Lip-Bu Tan (CEO of Intel) and Rafael Sotomayor (CEO of NXP). These sessions attracted thousands of attendees, reflecting the industry's strong interest in innovation in the field of AI.
COMPUTEX Forum gathers 28 leaders and technology experts from global businesses, discussing 6 major topics including AI computing, robotics and data management. The number of registrations is 3 times higher than in previous years, showing the increasing importance of AI in all industries.
As Asia's leading startup platform, InnoVEX 2026 reached a new milestone with more than 500 startups participating - an increase of more than 11% compared to the previous year. Taiwan, Japan and South Korea are the 3 leading countries/territories, along with startups from 23 other countries.
For the first time, InnoVEX cooperates with Plug and Play Taiwan and Everidge (Japan), thereby strengthening the international innovation network and expanding market opportunities.
9 national booths including France, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Australia, Israel, Canada, Italy and the Czech Republic have introduced advanced innovations in AI, robotics and smart mobility, creating a truly global platform for technology exchange.
COMPUTEX 2026 continues its commitment to sustainable development with the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principle, cooperating with exhibition units to create a low-carbon, low-pollution and energy-saving environment.
This year's Sustainable Design Award adds two new categories: Flagship Scale and Rising Innovator to encourage broader participation.
In addition to technology, COMPUTEX also connects innovation with lifestyle experiences. The exhibition cooperates with China Airlines and GQ to launch COMPUTEX Service Lounge, combining business services, cultural experiences and Taiwanese lifestyles. Interactive relaxation spaces designed by Red Bull and Sleepy Tofu also contribute to enhancing the experience of visitors.
In particular, COMPUTEX cooperates with visual artist Aluan Wang to create a large-scale interactive artwork at the entrance to Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1, where visitors can create unique images displayed on a 6m high LED pole.
