SANTA CLARA, CA (Merxwire) – Taiwan Tech Summit 2023 was held on September 16th at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley. This international, cross-generational, and cross-industry tech event, themed “Next Vision,” brought together over 100 American industry associations, attracting thousands of in-person participants and tens of thousands online attendees. Distinguished speakers at the event included Wally Liaw, Senior Vice President and Co-Founder of Supermicro, Vivian Lien, Vice President and General Manager of Intel’s CCG, and Shih-Chia Hsiao, Founder and CEO of Acepodia, Inc.

David Weng, CEO of Taiwania Capital and the chair of the advisory board, said that in the face of global supply chain restructuring and the AI wave, he hopes to create opportunities for cooperation between Silicon Valley professionals and experts through the Taiwan Tech Summit. This will strengthen the connection between Taiwan and Silicon Valley, helping Taiwan to become a “Silicon Valley of Asia.”
