SINGAPORE, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Taipei and Singapore are strengthening 
their technology partnership as artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor demand
brings their economies closer together. Taiwan became Singapore’s largest goods 
trading partner in 2025, with bilateral trade reaching S$170.3 billion, up 46% year
on year; trade rose a further 94.1% in the first half of 2026 compared with the 
same period a year earlier. The relationship reflects complementary strengths: Singapore’s
role as a trusted regional hub for enterprise adoption, governance, finance and 
ASEAN expansion, and Taipei’s depth in AI, semiconductors, hardware, edge computing
and systems integration.

Against this backdrop, Taipei City will return to Tech Week Singapore 2026 from 
29–30 September at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, where the Taipei Pavilion
will showcase how Taiwanese technology companies can support Singapore’s AI and 
digital transformation ambitions while developing partnerships across Southeast 
Asia.

Organised by the Taipei City Government Department of Economic Development in collaboration
with the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the Taipei Pavilion
will feature 12 exhibitors under the theme "Smart Tech, Innovative Taipei." The 
delegation will include BigObject Inc., Optiqb AI Technology Limited, IPEVO Corp.,
Qulip Technology Inc., NETIO Technologies Co., Ltd., Shuttle Inc., SYSTEX Corporation,
Galaxy Software Services Corporation, Eslitec Co., Ltd., Harbor Technology Solutions
Co., Ltd., AR2VR Co., Ltd. and Ubitus. Together, the exhibitors will present capabilities
spanning AI-ready data, cybersecurity, edge computing, industrial systems, multilingual
communication, immersive training, AI avatars, digital engagement and smart-city
applications.

"Singapore and Taipei bring complementary strengths to the next phase of AI adoption,"
said Jules Shih, Manager at TAITRA. "Singapore offers a trusted environment for 
enterprise deployment and a gateway to ASEAN, while Taipei contributes deep capabilities
across AI infrastructure, semiconductors, hardware, edge computing and systems integration.
Tech Week Singapore provides an important platform for companies from both ecosystems
to identify partnerships and develop practical solutions for regional markets."

Taipei’s growing international AI ecosystem is reflected in its partnership with
NVIDIA. Taipei City has signed an agreement supporting NVIDIA’s Taiwan headquarters
at Beitou–Shilin Technology Park, while the city is also working with NVIDIA on 
smart-city initiatives, including AI-powered simulation and digital modelling to
support future Taipei Metro upgrades. Taipei has also expanded cooperation with 
international technology cities, including Phoenix and Dresden, in areas such as
high-tech innovation, smart governance and talent development.

These partnerships reinforce Taipei’s role as a city where advanced technology can
move from research and infrastructure into practical urban, enterprise and community
applications. Tech Week Singapore offers a further opportunity to connect this ecosystem
with Singapore-based companies, regional customers and partners across ASEAN.

Themed "The Infrastructure Era", Tech Week Singapore 2026 will examine the foundations
required to deploy AI and emerging technologies at scale. Through the Taipei Pavilion,
Taipei City and TAITRA will highlight how collaboration between Taipei and Singapore
can help translate technology strengths into practical outcomes for enterprises,
public-sector organisations and communities across the region.
