Taiwanese Tech Firms Pitch AI-Driven Infrastructure at ITS America 2026

The pavilion, operating under the banner Build on Innovation, showcased hardware ranging from railway-grade networking gear to autonomous vehicle computing platforms. By focusing on four core pillars—sensing, edge AI, connected mobility, and infrastructure platforms—Taiwanese firms are attempting to move beyond conceptual prototypes toward field-ready deployments. Key exhibitors included AAEON, which highlighted its industrial-grade computing platforms, and AVerMedia, which demonstrated the Interlux intersection management system already active in several U.S. markets.

Industry leaders emphasized that the collaboration addresses the growing need for data-intensive, secure infrastructure as Michigan and other states accelerate autonomous vehicle pilots and smart intersection projects. Ming-Ya Lin, director at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago, described the initiative as a move to bring trusted AI out of the lab and into real-world traffic management. The showcase concluded with a series of curated tours designed to connect Taiwanese manufacturers directly with U.S. transportation stakeholders, facilitating discussions on cybersecurity and infrastructure resilience ahead of Taipei hosting the 2029 ITS World Congress.
