To establish a key platform for Taiwan’s cultural technology showcase and international exchange, the Ministry of Culture has co-hosted the annual event “TTXC Taiwan Technology X Culture Expo” with the Kaohsiung City Government since 2023. This year (2026), the event will take place from October 9 to October 26 at The Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung.
Under the theme “All in AI: Symbiosis Era,” the event features 6 major themed exhibitions, 25 international perspective forums, and over 100 industry matchmaking events. Covering topics such as AI, XR, virtual production, tech art, and immersive entertainment, it creates a cultural tech experience that crosses the boundary between reality and the virtual world. Key highlights include:

The closing event on October 26 will bring together VOCALOID creators and digital artists from Taiwan and Japan for a joint performance.
