Touch Taiwan 2025, the annual tech event, will be held from April 16 to 18 at the Nangang Exhibition Center.
This year’s exhibition brings together three major segments: Smart Display, Smart Manufacturing, and Electronic Manufacturing Equipment. A total of 328 leading companies from 10 countries, including Japan, the U.S., and France, will be participating.

Under the leadership of E Ink, Touch Taiwan 2025 will debut the first-ever E-Paper Zone, featuring 39 companies from across the global e-paper supply chain—ranging from TFT backplanes, e-paper modules, and retail system integration, to large-format signage and IC design. The zone will showcase the latest technologies and applications in low-carbon and energy-efficient e-paper solutions, establishing it as a key platform for global collaboration in the e-paper industry.

On the second day of the show, the ePaper Industry Alliance (EPIA) and Taiwan Display Union Association (TDUA) will co-host the 2025 E-Paper Ecosystem Development Forum. The forum will feature nearly 20 sessions, delving into global market trends, strategic developments in small, medium, and large-sized e-paper applications, TFT backplane integration, IC design solutions, and more, offering comprehensive insights into the opportunities and challenges ahead.

The Electronic Manufacturing Equipment segment of Touch Taiwan 2025 will also feature the new PLP (Panel Level Packaging) Zone for the first time, focusing on advanced packaging technologies. Exhibits will include etching/laser/electroplating equipment, system integration tools, redistribution layer (RDL) technology, dicing machines, wet process tools, temporary bonding systems, dispensing equipment, die bonding/picking tools, TGV/glass substrates, PLP carriers, and handling solutions. The zone is expected to attract numerous exhibitors, further propelling Taiwan’s electronic equipment and packaging technologies onto the global stage.

The PLP Forum will bring together leading companies in AI, semiconductors, packaging, display, and IC substrates to share insights into global market potential, TGV technology, substrate materials and manufacturing, metallization processes, and advanced handling solutions—further enhancing Taiwan’s competitiveness in semiconductors and electronics.

Moreover, as Micro LED technology continues to mature, innovation across panels, materials, and equipment has accelerated in recent years. This momentum is driving production investment in Taiwan, establishing the country as a key global hub for the Micro LED industry with a comprehensive supply chain ecosystem. At Touch Taiwan 2025, visitors will see a wide range of Micro LED applications, including premium TVs, automotive displays, and AR devices. The International Micro / Mini LED Display Summit Forum will also feature leading domestic and international players, discussing breakthroughs in mass production and future application innovations for Micro LED technology.
