AI and quantum computing are converging — and the geopolitical consequences are profound. At the GITEX AI Asia forum, industry experts argued that this integration goes beyond a technological breakthrough. It is reshaping national competitiveness and strategic deterrence.
Industrial PC (IPC) maker Sysgration saw consolidated revenue reach NT$292 million (US$9.2 million) in March 2026, buoyed by its three main product lines of backup battery units (BBUs), drones, and IPCs. Although this marks a slight year-on-year decline, the company nevertheless expects monthly revenue to grow going ahead, driven by an optimized product mix and increasing high-margin applications, as demand for AI computing drives expansion in data centers and edge AI deployments.
Taiwan has partnered with a major French drone manufacturer to build a secure and trusted supply chain network. Taiwan's Metal Industries Research and Development Center (MIRDC) announced it will collaborate with the French drone company on supply chains, key technology deployment, and market expansion — and a preliminary consensus has already been reached.
SZ DJI Technology founder Frank Wang gave his first interview to Chinese online media in a decade, outlining a shift behind the company's global leadership—from a product-driven model toward a dual focus on products and management.
As the smart glasses market grows rapidly, the adoption of Micro LED in AI-powered eyewear is accelerating. PlayNitride has partnered with AR glasses maker ChaseWind to develop a full-color, high-resolution Micro LED AI smart glasses product, which is expected to be deployed in industrial control and drone applications. Meanwhile, its Tantium chips targeting wearable devices and automotive displays, launched in 2025, have entered the mass production phase and are set to begin order-based production in 2026.
Taiwan and the United States have rapidly advanced industrial technology cooperation across sectors, from drones to robotics, in recent years. The GeoAsia Foundation recently announced a strategic alliance with Curiosity Lab, an innovation park in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, to establish the Taiwan Robotics Hub in the US city. This initiative aims to leverage bilateral industry strengths to advance AI and robotics technologies and foster a robust Taiwan-US robotics ecosystem.
Taiwanese companies are accelerating efforts to enter Poland's fast-growing drone supply chain, as the Eastern European country emerges as a hub for defense procurement and a gateway to Ukraine amid rising geopolitical tensions.
In response to shifting geopolitical landscapes and evolving customer demands, Taiwanese radio-frequency antenna maker Auden is accelerating both its overseas expansion and technology transformation. The company plans to simultaneously launch a new factory in northern Vietnam and a new headquarters in Bade, Taoyuan, in July 2026, while shifting its technological focus from traditional passive antennas to active modules that integrate algorithms, targeting the satellite communications Ka-band market.
Swancor Holding reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of NT$190 million (US$5.99 million), marking a pivotal shift in its business mix as its AI robotics segment crossed NT$10 million in revenue for the first time. Alongside strengthening aerospace composite orders and phased capacity expansion, the company is steadily advancing toward a dual-engine growth model driven by robotics and advanced materials.
AUO and Innolux are accelerating their expansion beyond traditional display panels, with Innolux's non-display revenue surpassing 51% in 2025, mainly driven by automotive applications. AUO also aims to obtain a non-display revenue share exceeding 50% in 2026.
Transcom Technology expects flat full-year revenue for 2026 amid stalled progress in Taiwan's defense budget, which is potentially delaying deliveries of Gong-3 and Gong-4 missile systems. A first mass-production order for a high-frequency SSPA module from an Indian client, however, could help the company expand its international revenue share to 30%.
