The most anticipated international networking event of the 2026 COMPUTEX and InnoVEX — the InnoVEX Night Party — concluded successfully this evening (June 3rd) at the TAIPEI 101 Observatory. Organized by the Taipei Computer Association (TCA) in partnership with the Taipei City Government and TAIPEI 101, the InnoVEX Night Party served as a city-scale international exchange platform, drawing over 1,000 startup founders, investors, corporate leaders, and government representatives from more than 35 countries and regions. Together, they gathered at Taipei's most iconic landmark to explore new opportunities in tech innovation and cross-border collaboration.
This marked the first time the InnoVEX Night Party was held at the TAIPEI 101 Observatory, symbolizing that COMPUTEX and InnoVEX have become more than simple exhibitions. Now vital platforms integrating city landmarks, international resources, and top-tier innovation, Taipei has become a global hub for tech innovation. Through the collaboration with the Taipei City Government and TAIPEI 101, the InnoVEX Night Party enabled industry representatives from around the world were to look out over Taiwan's thriving tech landscape from Taipei's highest vantage point. This event has created an even deeper connection between Taipei City and global tech innovation community.
The Taipei City Government has long championed smart city development and innovation-driven industries, continuously strengthening Taipei's international standing as a major Asian tech hub. TAIPEI 101, as a globally recognized city landmark, provided an iconic venue for international exchange, jointly elevating Taipei's visibility and influence within the global tech and innovation network.
The event also brought together a number of international strategic partners to co-build a cross-border innovation and collaboration ecosystem. From Canada, the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei (CTOT) and AccessBridge International provided key resources and on-the-ground support for companies looking to enter the Canadian, American, and Mexican markets, helping bridge Taiwanese and international startups with North American industries and supply chains. Startup Island Taiwan and the Taiwan Venture Capital Association continued their roles as key drivers of Taiwan's startup ecosystem, bridging government, enterprise, and international capital to accelerate the path from innovation to market.
In the field of tech innovation, the National Science and Technology Council's IC Taiwan Grand Challenge continued to attract global AI and semiconductor teams to develop in Taiwan, while KONST (Konsttech Ltd.) provided AI computing power and data center infrastructure support to help startups accelerate technology validation and commercialization. Noki Asia, based in Hong Kong, showcased the innovative energy that international technical collaboration can bring, drawing on its extensive experience in large-scale immersive experiences, drone shows, and intelligent systems integration.
Beyond technology and business exchange, the event also incorporated a touch of Taiwanese culture. Sugar & Spice provided signature Taiwanese premium gift offerings, presenting Taiwan's brand strength and cultural soft power to guests from around the world — leaving an impression of Taiwan's warmth and humanity alongside the tech conversations.
The organizer, the Taipei Computer Association, noted that COMPUTEX and InnoVEX have progressively evolved from exhibition-hall events into city-scale international exchange platforms. The collective participation of the government, industry, international partners, and the city elevated. Through the collective participation of government, industry, international partners, and the city, the exhibitions have not only elevated their international standing but also fostered the collaboration for global startups, investors, and the tech industry.
As InnoVEX and COMPUTEX continue through their remaining dates, innovative teams, enterprises, and investment firms from around the world will keep gathering in Taipei to exchange ideas and build partnerships — further connecting Taiwan with the world and creating the next wave of opportunities in tech innovation and industrial transformation.
