Eleven companies from central Taiwan's science park are showing off factory automation and AI gear at Taipei's big industrial show, a modest but positive sign for the island's push into smart manufacturing.

• The 2026 Taipei International Automation Industry Exhibition runs August 19–22 at Nangang Exhibition Center.
• The park's management office brought 11 precision-manufacturing and smart-application firms under one joint booth.
• Exhibitors include local precision-machinery makers alongside Japanese and German industrial suppliers with operations in Taiwan.
• A new product and technology showcase is running alongside the fair to line up sales deals, foreign partners, and venture money.
• Taiwan is pitching the region as a full supply chain — advanced materials, core machines, key parts, smart controls, and system integration.

Outlook: Expect more state-backed matchmaking of this kind as Taiwan tries to bolt AI onto its factory equipment industry and defend its position in high-end manufacturing.
