AI was powered by Taiwan. Now Taiwan is bringing AI into the real world.

Taiwan has long been one of the engines behind the AI revolution, producing the advanced chips, hardware, electronics, and manufacturing capabilities behind many of the world’s most important technologies.

Now the next wave of AI is moving into robotics, autonomous systems, intelligent hardware, smart manufacturing, and other technologies that operate in the physical world. Building these companies requires more than software. It requires engineering, manufacturing expertise, supply chains, and the ability to scale globally. Taiwan brings all of these capabilities together.

This event is designed especially for Corporate VC teams, strategic investors, venture investors, and innovation leaders looking for early access to emerging technologies and new partnership opportunities.

Join us at San Francisco’s iconic Phelan Building to meet Taiwanese founders and technology leaders building the next generation of Real World AI. Discover companies before they reach the broader market, explore potential investments, identify strategic technologies, and connect directly with founders who may become future portfolio companies, technology partners, suppliers, or acquisition targets.

For corporations looking to stay ahead of the next technology cycle, this is an opportunity to see what is coming out of Taiwan and build relationships at an early stage. The next wave of AI is moving into the physical world. Come meet the companies building it.
