This year, COMPUTEX continues to lead the global tech ecosystem, inviting major industry players – NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Foxconn, MediaTek, NXP, and other tech giants to deliver keynote speeches. Leading research firm Gartner is also invited to provide in-depth insights into AI technologies and industry trends, collectively exploring cutting-edge innovation and emerging business opportunities.

According to Gartner, global spending on generative AI will reach $644 billion in 2025. Companies are investing billions annually to improve the scale, performance, and reliability of generative AI models. AI is expected to become a standard built-in feature in future consumer electronics. In response to this AI-driven economic transformation, COMPUTEX 2025 is themed “AI Next” and focuses on AI & Robotics, Next-Gen Tech, and Future Mobility, echoing global trends in AI innovation and industrial transformation.

James Huang, Chairman of Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), remarked: “AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace – from algorithmic breakthroughs to broader accessibility. Taiwan, with its leadership in semiconductors and innovation, is driving this global shift. COMPUTEX 2025 spotlights AI & robotics, next-gen technologies, and future mobility as the cornerstones of the next wave of innovation.”

Paul S.L. Peng, Chairman of the Taipei Computer Association, said: “Taiwan stands strong in the AI era with its world-class semiconductor supply chain, cutting-edge software-hardware integration, and real-world solutions for challenges like smart aging and labour resilience.”
