COMPUTEX 2025 wraps up with more AI and industrial-focused applications laying the success for this year’s edition
So COMPUTEX 2025 just wrapped up after four packed days, and it was a huge success, with over 86,000 buyers from 152 countries showing up, including folks from the US, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and India.
The big theme this year was “AI Next,” and it really lived up to that name. It wasn’t just about flashy tech – it was about showing how AI is becoming more central across industries, with Taiwan once again playing a major role as a global tech hub.
The show also matched up with Gartner’s tech trend predictions for 2025. Things like Autonomous AI, Humanoid Robots, and Advanced Computing were all over the place with the main focus areas being AI & Robotics, Next-Gen Tech, and Future Mobility – and you could really see that in the exhibits.
Pegatron, for example, brought in some really interesting stuff like robot dogs that mimic real movement and immersive VR gear. BenQ had this golf simulator powered by AI that could actually analyze your swing in real time – it drew a lot of attention. Then you had Advantech and Solomon showing off smart manufacturing tools like AMRs, collaborative robot arms, and AIoT platforms, which really drove home how far Taiwan has come in intelligent automation.
Mobility was another big piece of the puzzle. There was a whole Smart Mobility Pavilion led by TADA, featuring 19 different brands working on EV and smart vehicle tech – names like Pegatron, Vitalcore, and OToBrite were all there showing off innovations.
InnoVEX also had a milestone moment this year – it was their 10th anniversary, and the scale was noticeably bigger. There were 450 startups from 24 countries, and for the first time, Thailand and the Philippines brought national pavilions. That really highlighted how Southeast Asia is becoming a serious player in the startup scene. Plus, they had some big names like AWS, Google Cloud, and NVIDIA speaking about how AI is driving innovation across the board.
The Pitch Contest was pretty exciting too as a local startup called DeepRad.AI won for its use of AI in medical imaging – basically using smart tech to help detect diseases early. The judges were really impressed by how practical and impactful their solution was.
And of course, there were the keynotes were stacked with loud names like Jensen Huang from NVIDIA kicking things off, and were followed by Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon, Foxconn’s Young Liu, MediaTek’s Rick Tsai, and NXP’s Jens Hinrichsen. Taiwan came up a lot in these talks, not surprisingly, since it’s right in the middle of so many global supply chains.
The COMPUTEX Forum had the theme “AI in Action,” and it featured 13 industry leaders from companies like Google DeepMind, Intel, Adobe, and Seagate. Over 1,300 people showed up to dive into the latest AI applications and trends, so the buzz was definitely there.
Sustainability also played a bigger role this year with Pegatron took home the Gold in the Sustainable Design Awards, followed by ASUS and Lite-On. And in terms of lifestyle, there were some fun crossovers – plain-me teamed up again with Kuai Kuai to release some limited-edition merch, and the Taiwan Stock Exchange worked with GQ Taiwan to set up a stylish hospitality lounge. It was a nice mix of business, tech, and culture.
Looking ahead, COMPUTEX 2026 is already shaping up to be even bigger. Because of the overwhelming demand, they’re expanding the show to include TWTC Hall 1 along with the usual Nangang Halls. It’ll run from June 2 to 5 next year, and it sounds like they’re planning to make it an even more immersive AI-powered experience.
