The Trillion-Dollar Dinner and the Nvidia–Taiwan Symbiosis
The restaurant was the Brick Kiln, a good but unflashy Taipei spot far from any conference hall. The host stood on a stool to be seen. The guest list ran to more than thirty CEOs, between them representing close to a trillion US dollars in market capitalization and almost every link in the global AI hardware supply chain. Jensen Huang toasted, thanked, moved from table to table, told an affectionate joke about a portrait he said looked more like TSMC’s C.C. Wei than himself, and at the end of the evening walked out into the street to hand sweets to the families and children who had gathered hoping for a glimpse. "Chemistry" was the word the Nvidia blog post used to describe the event. The casualness was the point.

Machine-Tool Leader Hiwin Makes Computex Debut With Robotics
For the first time in its 36-year history, Hiwin Technologies (上銀) will exhibit at Computex this June. The Taichung-based company has long served as a vital but low-profile supplier to the global machine-tool industry, delivering high-precision ball screws and linear guides for decades. Listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since 2010, Hiwin has not needed to attend a major global technology event like Computex until now. That changes in June, when the company will have its first ever booth to showcase a new planetary roller screw engineered specifically for the heavy-load joints of humanoid robots and high-payload industrial arms. Its presence serves as the public milestone of a strategic transformation that has been building quietly within Hiwin for at least three years.

Touch Taiwan 2026: Beyond the display
Touch Taiwan lacks the global profile of Computex. Running frm April 8 to 10 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, it remains a smaller event, traditionally attended mainly by industry insiders.
