29 Must-see Startups Selected from 330 Global Applicants

In an era of rapid global supply chain restructuring, Taiwan has cemented its position as the ultimate gateway for deep tech teams entering the Asian market. Backed by the National Development Council’s “Startup Island TAIWAN” national brand, Garage+ (by the Epoch Foundation) returns to InnoVEX 2026 with its most globally diverse cohort yet. Under this year’s captivating theme, “The Century Kaleidoscope,” the pavilion showcases 29 handpicked startups from Estonia, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, the USA, and Taiwan. These innovators invite industry leaders to shift their perspectives and explore how creative technological alignments can unlock limitless commercial possibilities.

Garage+’s zero-equity Startup Global Program (SGP) is widely recognized as one of the region’s most high-efficiency market entry channels. Uniquely backed by over 60 industry giants—including TSMC, MediaTek, Quanta, Delta Electronics, and Wistron—the program serves as an exclusive bridge, having facilitated over 3,600 deep business matchmaking meetings. The commercial impact of Garage+ is formidable: in 2025 alone, more than 50% of the international startups successfully secured corporate partnerships, proof-of-concepts (PoCs), or procurement orders within just three months of arrival. This unmatched conversion rate is what truly sets Garage+ apart in the global ecosystem.

Reflecting the kaleidoscope’s concept of rearranging elements to form striking new visions, this year’s 29 tech pioneers address acute industrial pain points across four critical sectors:

AI Applications:

Featuring ZETIC.ai (running local AI on edge devices with just 3 lines of code), ApertureData (a unified multimodal database that bypasses complex data pipelines), and Synstream (an AI-driven data automation platform decreasing manual coding by 90%).

Semiconductors & Supply Chain:

Featuring Ranictek (low-power, cost-effective Massive MIMO RU baseband chips for 5G/6G and LEO satellites) and A Barristor Company (graphene-on-silicon integration amplifying sensor signals by 100x).

Energy & Net-Zero:

Featuring CreAlien (revolutionary “W2PC” pure water two-phase liquid cooling, cutting AI server cooling energy by 97%) and SolarSDGs (integrating AI and IoT smart coatings to halt solar power degradation).

Cybersecurity & Software:

Featuring Qinvicta (hardware-accelerated post-quantum cryptography with side-channel protection) and TrackDeep (city-scale, RF fingerprint-agnostic drone detection).

Garage+ warmly invites venture capitalists, corporate buyers, and ecosystem builders to visit Booth S0304 to connect with these global trailblazers and co-create the future.
