The 2025 edition of Innovex, one of the largest startup fairs in Asia, once again confirmed that Taiwan is the perfect place for international innovation, networking, and discovering new partnerships. And the Czech Republic was certainly part of the action! As part of the PROPED project, we, in cooperation with CzechInvest, supported seven Czech startups.
From May 20–23, we were part of the vibrant atmosphere at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, where over 450 startups from 24 countries were showcased. Thousands of visitors, investors from around the world, prestigious accelerators, and companies like Google Cloud, AWS, and NVIDIA made it a huge opportunity to demonstrate what Czech startups can do.

This year, we brought seven fantastic Czech projects to Taipei, each standing out with their innovative ideas:

• Robotwin – Simple robot learning for industry

• Stellar Exploration – Technologies for space missions and satellites

• Kompenzo – Fintech platform

• Cognivibe – AI for emotional and human behavior analysis

• PalmApp – Digital tool for better habits and communication in companies

• Inovec Tech – Smart solutions for industrial automation

• XTend Design – Product design and development with a focus on innovation and functionality. 

Each of these projects demonstrated that even a small European country has a lot to offer—not only to businesses but also to end users in Taiwan.

Our participation in Innovex wasn’t just about being present at a booth—it was about building relationships, finding opportunities, and showcasing the best of Czechia. Whether it's artificial intelligence, robotics, space technologies, or digital products, Czech companies have a lot to offer in markets like Taiwan. And Innovex is just the beginning. We’re planning more events, workshops, networking meetings, and participation in other fairs. We will continue to support Czech innovation in Taiwan—and we look forward to more startups joining us on this exciting journey.

We are ready to provide detailed information to Taiwanese interested parties about the Czech innovation environment, specific companies, or potential collaboration opportunities. Feel free to reach out to us for more insights and opportunities!
