Set to take place this October, the annual Taiwan Innotech Expo (TIE) will bring together the impressive results from the ongoing R&D efforts of Taiwan’s industries and academia. The virtual exhibition will start on October 11th, and the physical exhibition commence at Hall 1 of Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) on October 13th.
The main thematic pavilions of TIE 2022 are Innovation Pilot, Future Tech, and Sustainability. Exhibitors include 69 organizations from 18 countries, and more than 600 technological innovations will be on display. Additionally, there will be a special section where the major Taiwanese semiconductor companies such as TSMC, UMC, and ASE will be demonstrating their R&D prowess, which has been vital in safeguarding the island’s strategic interests. Through a diverse range of presentation methods, the event will show off Taiwan’s latest technological achievements to the wider public.

Innovation Pilot: Innovative Semiconductor Applications
Under the invitation of Taiwan’s Industrial Development Bureau, several major Taiwanese semiconductor companies will be demonstrating the leading manufacturing capability of the island’s all-encompassing semiconductor supply chain. Related products that will be on display include MediaTek’s Wi-Fi 7 chip, ASE’s advanced chip packaging solution, and Realtek’s AI-based super resolution IC. The last item won COMPUTEX 2022 Best Choice Award.
Taiwan’s National Development Council will also be at the event to introduce the world’s first certified semiconductor-based biotechnological solution that detects virus infection within 30 minutes at an accuracy rate higher than 95%. With a performance that is on par with PCR, this solution was granted EUA by Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare at the end of 2021.
Besides semiconductors, the Innovation Pilot pavilion will also host many emission-cutting technologies. To align domestic industries with the global trend of net-zero emissions, The Industrial Technology and Research Institute under the Department of Industrial Technology has a developed a digital solution for carbon-reduction applications. Already adopted by domestic companies, this solution can contribute to a 4.07% reduction in CO2 emissions from a manufacturing process. Also, the National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology will unveil an environment-friendly anti-fouling paint that contains micro- and nano-capsules. Made using an emulsifier-free polymerization method, this paint is essential for the operation of marine vessels as it prevents surface corrosions and saves fuel costs. Other green solutions that will be on display include cutlery and dishes made from bagasse and waste plant fibers. Such products have been patented and certified in many countries and are now being sold in North America and Europe.
