At COMPUTEX 2025, the MOEA unveiled its Tech Hub to showcase 30 innovative technologies, highlighting the world-leading B5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) base station system and bringing together leading network communication companies and major R&D institutes including ITRI, MIRDC, TTRI, and ARTC. In partnership with MediaTek and Chunghwa Telecom, the MOEA successfully completed multi-orbit satellite communication trials. This breakthrough enables direct satellite connectivity via software upgrades, eliminating the need for hardware replacement-a game-changer for remote and offshore connectivity. The solution received global attention at this year's MWC Barcelona.
According to the MOEA, Taiwan plays a critical role in the global ICT and AI ecosystem. To stay ahead in next-generation communications and AI-driven manufacturing, the ministry has launched 50 AI pilot production lines, which are already being applied in sectors such as energy storage and smart manufacturing. One notable example is the POXA Energy Management System, which uses AI for intelligent scheduling to optimize green energy storage. The system is slated to spin off into a startup by 2025 to expand its reach.
The Tech Hub showcases innovations across five key areas: AI services, immersive technologies, AI for manufacturing, sustainable green energy, and next-generation communication. Highlighted solutions include an AI-powered medical logistics robot at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital; a smart knee brace with electrostimulation to accelerate rehabilitation for the elderly; photo-realistic AI 3D modeling technology that creates high-fidelity models using only a smartphone; and a transparent display open architecture system designed for smart libraries and hybrid digital-physical environments.
