Held under the auspices of COMPUTEX Taipei, InnoVEX brings together global markets, accelerators, VCs and partners at one of the top ICT, IoT and Startup trade shows. InnoVEX will features 388 startups from 21 countries this year, an increase of 40% in comparison to the 272 startups that participated last year. One-third of the overseas startup exhibitors are AI related, including CTA (Poland), H3O (Hong Kong), Incubit (Japan), Talentum (Spain), Silexica (Germany) and Westwell Lab (China). 

AI and IoT

Media Matching event focuses closely on industry trends, including AI, augmented reality (VR) and virtual reality (VR), health, IoT, blockchain, 3D printing, gaming, and cross-industry applications such as digital streaming connecting with audio and video entertainment to showcase diversity and human development in the startup community. 

Among products and concepts on show at the event, France’s 3dRudder will reveal Skyrim VR/AR with the company’s exclusive smooth rotation system. Combining motion with interaction: the player moves in the game with the slight pressure of their feet on the 3dRudder. This keeps their hands free to fight with a bow or sword and cast spells, so the player can walk forward and shoot arrows simultaneously.
