From CES to Silicon Valley: Seize the Chance for Your Gateway to Taiwan’s Tech Ecosystem
 
Following a high-profile showcasing at CES 2026, the IC Taiwan Grand Challenge (ICTGC) continued its global outreach by connecting with international innovators across Silicon Valley. From Eureka Park at the Taiwan Tech Arena Pavilion to a packed Silicon Valley gathering, ICTGC highlighted how global teams can leverage Taiwan’s semiconductor and AI ecosystem to turn ambitious ideas into practical and scalable technologies.

On January 13, ICTGC hosted “Bridging Silicon Valley and Taiwan: Semiconductor & AI Synergies” in Palo Alto, bringing together over 300 founders, investors, corporate partners, and researchers. The sessions offered actionable perspectives on scaling innovation through Taiwan–Silicon Valley collaboration, including prototyping, manufacturing partnerships, and pathways to global markets.

As ICTGC Batch 4 enters its final month of open applications, this is the moment to step into Taiwan’s Tech Ecosystem.

ICTGC Applications are closing on February 28, 2026.

Startups, research teams, and innovators worldwide are available to apply to ICTGC Batch 4, with applications open until February 28, 2026. Selected teams will gain access to mentorship, corporate partnerships, manufacturing resources, and the opportunity to showcase at COMPUTEX and InnoVEX 2026 in Taipei.
