The four-day event, organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and the Taipei Computer Association, will be held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Roughly 1,400 companies from 29 countries are expected to participate, filling more than 4,800 booths.
Founded in 1981 as a showcase for Taiwanese computer manufacturers, Computex has evolved into a global stage where tech giants unveil cutting-edge developments — increasingly in artificial intelligence.
The transformation reflects Taiwan’s emergence as a global semiconductor hub, home to critical players like TSMC, and a national strategy aimed at establishing leadership in AI technologies.
Industry analysts say the surge in AI applications and the growing dominance of firms such as Nvidia, AMD, and TSMC have made Computex a must-attend event for the global tech elite.
Visitors have already begun arriving for pre-event forums ahead of the official opening, with the spotlight firmly on Huang. His keynote is expected to outline Nvidia’s evolving AI roadmap, and may include announcements of next-generation chips or platform technologies.
Qualcomm Chief Executive Cristiano Amon and Supermicro CEO Charles Liang will also deliver keynote addresses during the week.
Nvidia is set to hold a global press conference on Wednesday, where Huang may respond to questions on regulatory approvals for Samsung Electronics’ high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips and the implications of U.S. trade policy shifts.
South Korea’s SK hynix will return for a second year with its own booth, and Samsung Display will make its debut at the show. Organizers expect attendance to exceed 80,000, mirroring last year’s turnout.
