ELETOR mission to SEMICON Taiwan 2026: aims and programme

At the turn of August and September 2026, ELETOR is travelling to Taipei to take part in an economic mission associated with SEMICON® Taiwan 2026 – one of the most important events in the global semiconductor and microelectronics sector.

The mission will take place from 31 August – 6 September 2026 r. and is organised by Toruń Regional Development Agency S.A. as part of the “Promotion of the regional economy” project. SEMICON® Taiwan 2026 itself takes place from 2–4 September at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center – TaiNEX 1 & 2.

For ELETOR, this is no ordinary trade fair trip. Above all, it is an opportunity to be somewhere that brings together the worlds of electronics, semiconductors, automation, new manufacturing technologies and advanced components.

Why Taiwan?

It is hard to talk about global electronics today without mentioning Taiwan.

It is one of the most important points in the global semiconductor technology supply chain. A huge proportion of expertise in chip design, manufacturing, testing and packaging is concentrated here, while a wide ecosystem of equipment, materials, components and technology service suppliers operates around the largest manufacturers.

For a company developing its own electronics, the opportunity to get to know this environment from the inside is particularly valuable.

SEMICON Taiwan offers the opportunity to observe not only finished products, but above all the directions in which the entire electronics industry is heading.

The mission organiser notes that the trade fair is one of the world's largest semiconductor industry events and attracts more than 100 000 participants from around 65 countries. Chip manufacturers and technology and materials suppliers meet there, as do businesses operating in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics and automotive.

We are going primarily to learn

At events like these, the most valuable things are often not what you can find in catalogues or on manufacturers' websites.

The greatest benefit comes from seeing technologies in action, comparing solutions from different companies, asking designers and manufacturers detailed questions, and observing the areas in which the industry is investing.

For ELETOR, this will be an opportunity to explore solutions related to, among other things:

• electronic components and subassemblies,

• production automation systems,

• robotics,

• measuring equipment and systems,

• modern electronics assembly technologies,

• solutions for the manufacture and integration of electronic systems,

• the development of the semiconductor market,

• new materials and technologies used in electronics.

Observations of this kind make it possible to make better decisions later on about designing new devices, selecting components, organising production and further developing in-house technological capabilities.

Electronics is changing faster than ever

The past few years have made it very clear how important component availability, supply chain security and the ability to respond quickly to market changes have become for electronics manufacturers.

At the same time, technological progress is accelerating.

Artificial intelligence, automation, energy-efficient control systems, increasingly advanced sensors, new semiconductor architectures and device miniaturisation are also affecting much more traditional sectors of the economy.

Modern electronics no longer exists separately from industry, agriculture or infrastructure.

It is an integral part of them.

ELETOR has been designing and manufacturing electronics and control systems for years. That is why observing changes at the source of the global technology market is particularly interesting to us.

We are not travelling to Taipei just to see new devices.

We want to understand what might become the standard in a few years' time.

Direct contact still matters enormously

Despite the growth of online communication, some business relationships still cannot be fully built through a computer screen.

International trade fairs offer the opportunity to speak directly with manufacturers, technology suppliers and potential partners.

You can see a product, talk to the person responsible for its development, ask about solutions being prepared for the coming years, or discover companies whose offerings you simply had not known about before.

One of the aims of the organised mission is precisely to create opportunities for these kinds of contacts. The regulations provide for businesses to attend the trade fair as visitors, as well as take part in B2B meetings or study visits.

For us, conversations with companies working directly in electronics, components, automation and manufacturing technologies will be particularly valuable.

We are also looking at the supply chain

SEMICON® Taiwan is about more than semiconductors.

It is an entire ecosystem of businesses needed to make modern electronics possible.

From materials and components to production equipment and quality control systems, all the way through to testing, packaging, automation and logistics.

For an electronics manufacturer, being able to view this supply chain in one place is extremely valuable.

It makes it possible to compare technologies, find alternative sources of supply, observe changes in prices and quality, and assess which solutions have real potential for use in production.

The materials about the mission also emphasise the importance of getting to know Taiwan's ecosystem and the opportunities for cooperation with Asian businesses.

Internationalisation means more than exporting

The economic mission to Taipei is part of activities aimed at internationalising businesses from the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.

In practice, however, internationalisation does not mean simply selling products abroad.

It also means building relationships with international partners, getting to know foreign markets, observing the competition, acquiring technological knowledge and developing capabilities that can later be applied in one's own business.

The project documentation identifies support for business internationalisation and the promotion of regional brands as two of the mission's main aims.

For ELETOR, this has another dimension too.

We want to compare our own solutions and development directions with what is happening in the world's most technologically advanced markets.

From Taipei to ELETOR's next projects

We do not expect a few days at the trade fair to bring one spectacular answer or a single product that will immediately transform our business.

We are much more interested in the long-term impact.

One conversation could lead us to discover a new component manufacturer.

One presentation could inspire a design change.

One technology could become standard in a few years' time, including in devices used in Europe.

And sometimes the greatest value is simply confirming that the direction we chose earlier is the right one.

That is how we see SEMICON® Taiwan 2026.

As a place from which it is above all worth bringing back knowledge.

SEMICON® Taiwan 2026 – a few intensive days lie ahead

Taipei lies ahead of us: one of the world's most important technology centres, and a few days with a very intensive programme.

We want to make the most of this time: looking, asking, comparing, talking and gathering information that could matter for ELETOR's next projects.

We will share our observations when we return.

Because the most interesting part of trips like these often begins only when the trade fair ends – and the knowledge gained finds its way into everyday work, projects and technology decisions.
