LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Supported by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA) led a delegation of Taiwanese startups to CES, bringing together 57 AI-driven startups and 83 supply-chain partners to showcase how artificial intelligence is moving from research into real-world, scalable applications.

Now in its ninth year at CES, TTA is positioning Taiwan not just as a semiconductor powerhouse, but as a market-ready "AI Island"—where AI is embedded across industries, infrastructure, and daily life.

From "Everyday AI" to Enterprise-Ready Innovation

Aligned with CES 2026's theme, "Shaping the Future of Enterprise Innovation," the TTA Taiwan Pavilion is built around "Daily TAIWAN"—a concept that highlights how small, practical AI applications can compound into large-scale economic and industrial impact.

From AI-powered cybersecurity and digital health platforms to energy optimization and enterprise software, Taiwan's startups are showcasing solutions designed to integrate directly into global supply chains and enterprise workflows.

Global Tech Leaders and Cities Take Notice

The TTA Pavilion officially opened on January 6 (U.S. time) with strong participation from the global tech ecosystem. Attendees included senior representatives from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), Qualcomm, and international innovation agencies from France, Japan, Switzerland, and beyond.

Momentum is also building at the city and ecosystem level. Phoenix, Arizona, made its CES debut with an official delegation, hosting targeted matchmaking sessions with TTA startups—signaling growing U.S. interest in Taiwan-based AI companies for market entry, pilot deployments, and investment. In parallel, multiple national pavilions—including Japan, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Israel, and Italy—have proactively initiated collaboration discussions with Taiwanese startups during CES.

Startups Meet Supply Chains—at Scale

One of Taiwan's differentiators at CES 2026 is its tightly integrated innovation model. Startups are co-exhibiting alongside 83 supply-chain partners, enabling faster commercialization, pilot production, and global rollout.

For startups, this shortens the path to overseas markets. For supply-chain players, it provides early access to next-generation AI technologies. The result is a scalable, export-ready innovation pipeline—designed to compete globally.

According to NSTC, CES 2026 marks a turning point for Taiwan's startup ecosystem—from technology development to global market execution. By combining policy support, startup agility, and manufacturing-scale supply chains, Taiwan aims to play a strategic role in the next phase of global AI deployment.

TTA plan to continue expanding international partnerships and supporting startups as they move from pilots to production—and from regional success to global scale.
