Taipei’s COMPUTEX Attracts Global Investors and Innovators

Taipei just hosted one of the world’s biggest tech events—COMPUTEX 2025—and the results were impressive. Over 86,000 visitors from 152 countries gathered in Taiwan to see the latest breakthroughs in AI, robotics, and sustainable technology. With the theme “AI Next,” the expo showed the world that Taiwan isn’t just strong in hardware—it’s now a rising star in future-focused innovation.

Why COMPUTEX 2025 Stood Out

One major highlight was InnoVEX, the startup section of the expo, celebrating its 10th year. It welcomed 450 startups from 24 countries—a 12.5% increase from 2024. New participants from Thailand and the Philippines set up national pavilions for the first time, showing how the entire Asia region is gaining momentum in the tech space.

Big tech leaders were there too. Executives from Nvidia, Google Cloud, AWS, and Qualcomm all gave talks about the role of artificial intelligence in reshaping business. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a new Taiwan office and plans for a Taiwan-based AI supercomputer project. That’s big news—it means Taiwan is becoming even more important in the global AI supply chain.

Sustainability also took center stage. Companies like Asus, Lite-On, and Pegatron received awards for green tech design. These innovations show how the tech world is now working toward solutions that are not only powerful—but also better for the planet.
