Taking advantage of the first fully in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic, 400 teams from 22 countries packed InnoVEX 2023—over double last year’s 195—with exciting products, pitches, and presentations envisioning a more connected and sustainable world.
ith over 3,000 booths across three floors of the Nangang Exhibition Center, COMPUTEX returned in all its glory in 2023. After moving online for two years during the COVID pandemic and running a hybrid show last year, this year the world-famous trade show welcomed thousands of international visitors in person once again. Running from May 30 to June 2, at any time there were around 10,000 people visiting the exhibition. These visitors were able to connect with 1,000 tech companies and peruse their latest products, including big players from Taiwan such as Acer, Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte, and MSI.
The final day of COMPUTEX 2023 got off to a flying start – or better yet, a racing start – with Chairman and CEO of Acer Jason Chen addressing the audience from atop a bike desk, one of the company’s latest product offerings. It was a fitting enough entrance, for the topic of the morning’s Keynote presentation was sustainability, and Chen brought a palpably athletic energy to his discussion.
The COMPUTEX 2023 Keynote series continued on Wednesday with a presentation by Rafael Sotomayor, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Secure Connected Edge for NXP Semiconductors. Sotomayor spoke about managing complexity, a topic that has come to be of paramount importance for industry leaders today.
