The 2025 North America Taiwan Tech Summit, organized by the Silicon Valley non-profit organization Taiwan Next Foundation, will be held on September 20 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. This year’s conference, with the theme “CONNECT • INNOVATE • INVEST,” aims to showcase the innovative energy of the Taiwan-US technology ecosystem through industry forums, startup exhibitions, investment matchmaking, and career development opportunities.
Since its inaugural event in 2022, the North America Taiwan Tech Summit has attracted over nine thousand participants, making it the largest Taiwan technology event in the US and Canada. Taiwan Next Foundation’s Chairman, Xie Kaiting, highlighted that in addition to industry dialogues and startup initiatives, the event will feature a cross-border AI Technology Music Gala in the evening to demonstrate Taiwan’s innovative influence.
The summit will cover eight major themes: Innovation Trends Forum, Industry Forum, Startup Exhibition, Career Workshops, Networking, Investment Matchmaking, Career Roundtable, and AI Technology Music Gala. It will also focus on seven key areas: AI Deep Learning, Sovereign AI, Startup AI, UX Human-Machine Interface, Biomedical Technology, Semiconductors, and Hardware Technology, providing insights into global trends.

Forum highlights will include the Sovereign AI Forum (organized by GATTD) discussing sovereign AI and Taiwan’s supply chain, and the AI Application Forum (organized by the Taiwan Data Science Community) analyzing AI applications in retail, entertainment, and fashion industries.
The Taiwan Demo Day, hosted by Startup Island Taiwan Silicon Valley Hub with the support of the National Development Council, will showcase 11 outstanding AI teams covering the latest applications such as Agentic AI, Bio/Medical AI, and Physical AI, inviting Silicon Valley investors for in-depth engagement.
