New Taipei City Brings Smart Manufacturing Expertise to AUTOMATE 2026
TAIPEI: The government of New Taipei City is leading a delegation of 20 technology companies to AUTOMATE 2026 in Chicago, aiming to strengthen international business ties while showcasing the city’s growing influence in smart manufacturing, automation and industrial innovation.
The delegation will exhibit a broad range of advanced technologies through the New Taipei City Pavilion, highlighting developments in industrial automation, artificial intelligence, edge computing, smart manufacturing systems and integrated industrial solutions.
AUTOMATE 2026 is widely recognised as one of North America’s premier exhibitions for automation, robotics and intelligent manufacturing technologies, attracting industry leaders, technology providers and procurement specialists from around the world.
According to New Taipei City officials, participation in the event goes beyond product promotion. It is also intended to create new opportunities for strategic collaboration between Taiwanese technology firms and international buyers seeking reliable manufacturing and technology partners.
The pavilion will serve as a dedicated platform for global procurement professionals to explore Taiwan’s advanced industrial capabilities while engaging directly with companies specialising in next-generation manufacturing technologies.
New Taipei City is one of Taiwan’s most important industrial and technology centres, home to more than 320,000 enterprises and over 6,000 information and communications technology companies.
Its well-established supply chain, strong industrial infrastructure and international logistics connectivity have helped position the city as a major contributor to Taiwan’s manufacturing economy.
As global industries accelerate the adoption of digital technologies and automation, New Taipei City continues to invest in artificial intelligence, industrial digitalisation and smart manufacturing initiatives designed to enhance competitiveness and support sustainable growth.
City officials noted that manufacturers worldwide are increasingly seeking solutions that improve productivity, optimise operations and support long-term sustainability goals.
The companies participating in AUTOMATE 2026 represent a wide cross-section of the industrial ecosystem, including automation equipment manufacturers, industrial computer developers, precision component suppliers, AI solution providers and system integration specialists.
Their participation demonstrates the depth and diversity of New Taipei City’s industrial capabilities, offering international buyers access to a comprehensive range of technologies and services.
For organisations looking to establish partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region, the New Taipei City Pavilion provides an opportunity to connect directly with experienced Taiwanese manufacturers capable of supporting complex industrial projects.
The exhibition also allows participating companies to better understand evolving market requirements in North America, one of the fastest-growing regions for industrial automation and smart manufacturing technologies.
This year’s pavilion will focus on four key areas: industrial automation and robotics applications, smart manufacturing and digital transformation, artificial intelligence and edge computing solutions, and key component and system integration technologies.
By highlighting these strengths, New Taipei City aims to strengthen its international profile while helping local businesses expand their presence in overseas markets.
Officials believe the combination of technological innovation, manufacturing expertise and a mature industrial ecosystem positions Taiwanese companies as valuable partners for organisations seeking to modernise operations and accelerate digital transformation initiatives.
Participation in AUTOMATE 2026 reflects New Taipei City’s broader commitment to fostering international industrial collaboration and promoting Taiwan’s advanced manufacturing capabilities on the global stage.
