As the heartbeat of global tech pulses ever stronger, Taiwan once again takes the spotlight with COMPUTEX 2025, opening tomorrow at Nangang Exhibition Center Halls 1 and 2. This year’s event is more than just a showcase—it’s a declaration of where the future is headed. With over 1,400 exhibitors from 25 countries and 4,800 booths, COMPUTEX 2025 marks one of the most ambitious editions yet.
Taiwan: Ground Zero for the AI Revolution
Taiwan’s strategic role in the global supply chain is unquestionable. From semiconductor innovation to hardware integration, this island isn’t just a participant—it’s a driver. And in 2025, that engine is now running on AI.
This year’s theme, “AI Next,” reflects the industry’s undeniable momentum. Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a feature anymore—it’s becoming the core of everything. From edge computing to generative models, COMPUTEX 2025 dives deep into how AI is reshaping the foundations of modern technology.
A Lineup of Titans
Heavyweights are making their presence felt with high-profile keynotes that promise not just vision, but substance:
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA – Fresh off the wave of GPU dominance, Huang is expected to outline NVIDIA’s roadmap for AI infrastructure, and perhaps give us another legendary on-stage demo.
Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm – From AI on mobile to connected edge devices, Amon will highlight how Qualcomm is bringing intelligence to the edge.
Young Liu, Chairman of Foxconn – With Foxconn pushing beyond manufacturing into innovation, Liu’s insights into AI-powered production lines and EVs will be highly anticipated.
Rick Tsai, Vice Chairman & CEO of MediaTek – Tsai’s keynote will likely focus on how Taiwan’s silicon giant is enabling on-device AI and new mobile experiences.
Jens Hinrichsen, EVP at NXP Semiconductors – Expect updates on how NXP is integrating AI into automotive, industrial, and secure edge applications.
AI-Centric Forums: From Theory to Practice
Beyond the big speeches, the COMPUTEX Forums are where the industry’s best minds collide. Representatives from NVIDIA, Google, Texas Instruments, Arm, Intel, Adobe, and Cadence will join panel discussions and deep-dive sessions. Topics range from AI software frameworks to hardware acceleration, ethics in AI, and emerging AI-powered design workflows.
This is where engineers, developers, and executives meet not just to listen—but to challenge and evolve their thinking.
InnoVEX: The Future, Incubated
No COMPUTEX is complete without InnoVEX, the startup-focused innovation hub that’s increasingly become a magnet for venture capital and global scouting.
Highlights include:
- National Pavilions showcasing regional innovation clusters
- Startup Pitch Competition, where rising stars battle for funding and exposure
- InnoVEX Talk, a platform for founders and futurists to share bold ideas
- A curated lineup of venture capital firms, looking for the next AI unicorn
Final Thoughts
COMPUTEX 2025 isn’t just an exhibition—it’s a statement. That Taiwan remains not just relevant, but essential, to the next era of computing. With AI now at the helm, the stakes are higher, the innovations faster, and the ambitions louder.
As the doors open tomorrow, one thing is clear: the future of technology begins in Taipei.
