Physical AI Takes Centre Stage
The defining narrative of COMPUTEX 2026 wasn’t just about smarter software — it was about AI stepping out of the screen and into the real world. Physical AI, the application of AI in real-world physical environments like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and aerospace, dominated conversations across the show floor.
According to a Strategy& (PwC) report cited at the event, Physical AI is projected to generate approximately €430 billion in global market value by 2030, with large-scale commercial adoption expected within the next three to five years. That’s not a distant horizon — that’s an industry already in motion.
Reflecting this momentum, COMPUTEX 2026 debuted its inaugural AI Robotics Zone at TWTC Hall 1, bringing together ecosystem partners across the supply chain to showcase robotics, Embodied AI technologies, and end-to-end integrated solutions. The show also launched a new E-paper Pavilion and TechXperience zone, adding over 180 additional exhibitors to the mix.
World-Class Keynotes Set the Agenda
COMPUTEX keynotes have always been a major draw, and 2026 delivered. With 6,000 attendees across the keynote series, the lineup read like a who’s who of global tech leadership:
Cristiano R. Amon — President & CEO, Qualcomm
Matt Murphy — Chairman & CEO, Marvell
Lip-Bu Tan — CEO, Intel
Rafael Sotomayor — President & CEO, NXP
Sessions covered AI computing, edge platforms, next-gen connectivity, and intelligent mobility — painting a vivid picture of an industry converging around AI as the universal foundation of everything built next.
The COMPUTEX Forum added depth to those conversations, hosting 28 industry leaders across six major themes including AI computing, robotics, and data governance. Over 13,200 forum visits reflect just how hungry the industry is for frameworks and strategies to actually scale AI deployment — not just talk about it.
InnoVEX Sets a New Startup Record
As one of Asia’s premier startup platforms, InnoVEX 2026 hit a landmark milestone with 500+ startups — an 11% jump from last year. Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea led participation, with 23 countries represented in total and nine national pavilions putting their best innovation forward.
First-time partnerships with Plug and Play Taiwan and Japanese startup organiser Everidge added fresh international momentum. The InnoVEX Pitch Contest crowned RLWRLD as grand prize winner, in a competition that tied together capital, computing power, and industry validation for the most promising emerging ventures.
Sustainability Wasn’t an Afterthought
COMPUTEX 2026 also took meaningful steps on sustainability, operating under Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) principles and introducing new Sustainable Design Award categories — Flagship Scale (won by ASUS) and Rising Innovator (won by Transcend Information).
And because great tech events need great vibes too — a massive interactive art installation by generative artist Aluan Wang at Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 let visitors co-create visual patterns displayed on six-metre LED columns. Innovation and art, sharing the same stage.
