SEMICON Taiwan brings the global chip industry to Taipei from August 31 to September 4, 2026. Five days of forums lead into a three-day exhibition across both halls of Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. SEMI forecasts more than 1,300 exhibitors, 4,300 booths and 100,000 professional visits from 65 countries; those are planning estimates, but they convey the scale of a week built for serious industry work.
Who should cross for this
Semiconductor executives, engineers, buyers, investors, policymakers, startup teams and supply-chain specialists.
California and Ontario trade missions, a California Pavilion, the Canadian Trade Office and U.S.–Taiwan investment commitments make this a direct Pacific-facing industry meeting.
Suggested trip length: 4–6 days
Match the pass to your priorities
The exhibition runs September 2–4. General admission is NT$500 through August 30 and NT$1,000 during event week, while eligible semiconductor professionals can request complimentary codes. Forums are separate products, so an expo badge does not unlock every session. The developing program includes summits on heterogeneous integration, silicon photonics, 3DIC, memory, materials, sustainability, cybersecurity and global partnerships. Check the live cart for individual forum prices, rooms and languages before committing to a schedule.
Use geography to protect meeting time
Nangang Exhibition Center is the simplest base for early appointments and movement between the two halls. Nangang Station, one Blue Line stop away, is useful for HSR and Taiwan Railways connections. Xinyi trades a longer ride for a broader hotel and dining pool, which can suit client dinners. From Taoyuan Airport, the most predictable public route is Airport MRT to Taipei Main followed by the Blue Line to its eastern terminus.
Build a transpacific shortlist
The event has concrete North American links. California is recruiting a trade mission and pavilion delegation, while Ontario and the Canadian Trade Office are organizing an export mission. Those groups join a market shaped by large Taiwanese semiconductor and AI investments in the United States. Review the exhibitor search and delegation programs before departure, then group meetings by hall and allow realistic walking and meeting buffers.
