[Reporter Liao Jianing/Taipei Report] The 2026 Taiwan Innovation Technology Expo (TIE) will be exhibited at Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 from today (17th) to 19th. The Ministry of Economic Affairs has set up an "Innovation Economy Pavilion" to display AI cross-domain achievements, including "High "Effective zero-rare earth EC (electronically commutated) fan motor technology" uses ferrite permanent magnet materials to replace rare earths. It is expected to get rid of the dependence of high energy-consuming equipment on rare earth materials and save about 40% of power. It can be applied to AI data centers, semiconductor factories, etc.
The Innovation Economy Pavilion is jointly planned by the Industrial Development Administration, the Technology Department, the China Enterprise Agency, the Energy Administration, the State-owned Enterprise Department and the Intelligence Bureau. It has six exhibition areas including semiconductors, smart manufacturing, precision health, net-zero sustainability, cross-domain forward-looking and Taiwan Patent Super Station to present the cross-domain application results of AI.
The Innovation Economy Museum selected 6 cross-domain application technologies this time, among which Yulong Technology's "Humanoid Robot Joint Module and High-Precision Transmission Technology" uses patented tooth design and precision processing to allow the reducer to instantly output up to 1.5 times the force of similar products, improving the stability and accuracy of robot joint movements.
ITRI's "Medium-Large Molecular Urotoxic Toxin Measurement Technology" uses a self-developed automated specimen pre-processing module, connected in series to the waste end of the kidney dialysis machine, to complete the analysis of uremic toxin types and concentrations in 15 minutes, allowing the quality of kidney dialysis to move from "post-treatment evaluation" to "during treatment monitoring". It has completed a proof of concept with Chengdu University Hospital and is expected to be introduced this year.
ITRI's "high-efficiency zero-rare earth EC (electronically commutated) fan motor technology" uses ferrite permanent magnet materials instead of rare earths, which can save up to about 40% of electricity and can be applied to AI data centers, semiconductor factories and commercial air conditioners.
Taiwan Water Company's "smart water dual core - sampling monitoring vessel × digital twin water purification field", which combines automatic cruise sampling, virtual water purification field model and AI analysis, has been applied to the Niaozuitan Artificial Lake in Nantou and the Zengwen Water Purification Plant in Tainan. Zhongding Engineering's "large-scale pipeline robot" can be adjusted according to 24- to 36-inch pipelines, and can replace personnel in entering closed pipelines to perform inspections and maintenance.
Medical Electronics Dingzhong's "dual-view 3D measurement industrial endoscope" can create a 3D image and measure damage in about 10 seconds. It is used in the maintenance of aircraft engines and industrial pipelines to reduce equipment disassembly and downtime.

The 2026 Guangzhou International Smart Sanitation and Cleaning Equipment Exhibition opened in Guangzhou on September 17, bringing together more than 400 exhibitors. The exhibition showcased cutting-edge equipment such as driverless sweepers, new energy sanitation vehicles and AI patrol robots, and discussed the transformation and upgrading of the sanitation industry to an intelligent, green and "human-machine collaboration" model.

The 2026 Taiwan Innovation Technology Expo was held in Taipei. The Department of Industrial Technology of the Ministry of Economic Affairs exhibited "Medium-Large Molecular Urinary Toxin Measurement Technology (DiaTrack)", which shortened the kidney dialysis test time from 3 hours to 15 minutes. It also demonstrated chitosan fiber technology with hemostatic performance, which has been used in medical treatment and rescue in Ukraine.

Huawei has introduced its Peerium Computing Architecture, designed to connect up to 1 million processors into a single system. The technology utilizes UnifiedBus interconnects to bypass limitations imposed by US semiconductor manufacturing restrictions.

At the 2026 Taiwan Innovation Technology Expo in Taipei, the Technology Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs demonstrated the "3.2T silicon photonic light engine technology" developed by the Industrial Research Institute. This technology uses light to replace copper wires, doubling the transmission capacity and transmitting 400GB of data per second. It aims to solve the transmission bottleneck of the AI computing power center and connect 20 companies in series to attack the global supply chain.
IDC released the "Technical Assessment of China's Enterprise-Level General Agent Products" report. NanoWork achieved three perfect scores in nine dimensions, and became the only product among 12 participating products to receive a Top rating in the "security and controllability" dimension, highlighting its enterprise-level security and implementation capabilities.
The "Wuyang Constellation" pilot A star (Guangda No. 1), developed by Guangzhou University and led by Guangzhou University, has been fully equipped and headed for the launch site. The constellation adopts a low-inclination orbit plan and will build my country's first intelligent air and space information service system for low-latitude areas with high-resolution wide-band and full-spectrum capabilities.
