Taiwan is known for its semiconductor dominance—but few in Silicon Valley have seen the vibrant innovation ecosystem emerging around it. Taiwan Demo Day brings 10 of Taiwan’s most promising startup teams to the heart of Silicon Valley for a high-impact pitch event. This is a rare chance to meet these startups from the island that powers the world’s AI chips. Whether you’re looking to invest in innovative companies backed by the Taiwanese government, explore new business partnerships, discover employment opportunities, or simply witness frontier technologies on the rise—this event is not to be missed.

This exciting event will open with a fascinating panel discussion titled “What Is After AI?”, bringing together leading thinkers to explore the next wave of global innovation beyond artificial intelligence — the systems, technologies, and shifts that may define our future. Using Taiwan’s unique track record in manufacturing, semiconductors, and now AI as a lens, the panel will consider where the smart signals point next. Featuring Chris Manning (Head of the Stanford AI Lab), Sibyl Chen (General Manager of Berkeley SkyDeck), and Jerry Kaplan (renowned futurist and AI pioneer), this opening conversation sets the tone for an evening focused on what’s coming after the AI revolution — and who’s poised to lead it.

While Taiwan is already known as the world’s semiconductor powerhouse, these startups are extending its legacy of excellence far beyond. These visionary teams represent the cutting edge of Taiwan’s thriving startup ecosystem, spanning AI, robotics, biotech, digital health, advanced manufacturing, and connectivity. They are setting new benchmarks in speed, efficiency, intelligence, and global impact — transforming Taiwan’s technological prowess into real-world solutions that address critical challenges across industries and continents.
