Taiwan Expo opens in Tokyo, showcases AI and robotics

Taiwan has positioned itself as a key supplier of advanced manufacturing and semiconductor technology to Japan for decades. This expo represents a strategic effort to expand beyond hardware into software, AI services, and sector-specific solutions for aging populations—a challenge both Taiwan and Japan face acutely. By hosting the event in Tokyo and dispatching a trade promotion delegation, Taiwan's government signals commitment to deepening commercial ties in high-growth areas where Japanese companies and public institutions are actively sourcing partners. The focus on robotics and senior care reflects both regions' demographic pressures and the commercial opportunity that presents.
