Computex 2026: Inside the Race to Power and Cool AI
Some of the biggest crowds at Computex 2026 were not gathered around AI server racks but the liquid cooling and power delivery systems that keep them running. In a clear sign of how the AI boom is changing, the booths of Delta, Lite-On, Auras, Jentech, and other companies in the segment saw lines stretching through the aisles. For years, cooling pipes and power supplies were boring background parts that only mattered when something broke. Now they have become one of the main stories. As AI racks grow more powerful, delivering the electricity they demand and removing the heat they generate have become two of the toughest challenges in the data center.

Computex 2026: The Three Themes That Ran Through Every Hall
The crowds arrived early and never thinned. From the moment the gates opened each morning, the aisles of the Nangang Exhibition Center filled with a press of analysts, buyers, engineers, reporters, and tech enthusiasts that did not let up until the halls closed in the evening. Booths that in previous years drew a polite trickle were three deep in people leaning in to watch a robot arm sort parts or a coolant loop pulse through a transparent server rack. There was a charge in the air that trade shows rarely carry, the sense of being inside something while it is still happening rather than reading about it afterward. The banner overhead read "AI Together," and for once the slogan matched the feeling on the floor.

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.

The Unsung Veterans Behind Taiwan’s AI Hardware Boom
One of the least remarked features of Taiwan’s AI hardware boom is that it has not been led by the kind of companies the global business press usually celebrates. There are no garage startups here, no twenty-something founders, no venture capital origin myths. The firms riding the AI infrastructure wave, supplying cold plates to GB300 racks and vapor chambers to hyperscaler servers, are for the most part middle-aged industrial companies that have been grinding away in the component trenches for three decades or more.

Taiwan upgrades defense plans as China threat escalates
President Lai Ching-te warned Wednesday that China accelerates military preparations to invade Taiwan by 2027, unveiling national security plans that raise defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2030. Taiwan commits over NT$1.25 trillion (around US$40 billion) in additional defense spending through 2033.

The plans establish democratic defense mechanisms, develop advanced air defense systems called "Taiwan Dome," and counter China’s psychological warfare campaign aimed at transforming "Democratic Taiwan" into "China Taiwan."
