Taiwan has long been a global powerhouse behind AI, fabricating the most advanced AI chips, hardware, electronics, and manufacturing capabilities that make today’s AI revolution possible. Now Taiwan is taking the next step: bringing AI into the real world.

From robotics and autonomous machines to smart manufacturing, intelligent hardware, and next generation physical systems, Real World AI requires much more than models and software. It requires the ability to design, engineer, manufacture, and scale sophisticated technology into products that work in the physical world. This is where Taiwan has a powerful advantage.

Join us at San Francisco’s iconic Phelan Building to meet Taiwanese startups and technology leaders building this next generation of AI. Discover emerging technologies, hear startup pitches, meet founders and ecosystem partners, and explore opportunities to invest, collaborate, manufacture, and scale through Taiwan.

For investors looking for the next wave of AI companies, corporations searching for technology and manufacturing partners, and founders ready to take AI from prototype to real world deployment, Taiwan is one of the most important places to connect.

This official TechCrunch Side Event is hosted by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MoEA) and implemented by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), showcasing how Taiwan powered the AI revolution and is now bringing AI into the real world.
