Taiwan tech startups gear up for CES 2025

A total of 72 startups will fly the flag for Taiwan at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show to demonstrate the country’s commitment to fostering innovation, the National Science and Technology Council said at a press event held Dec. 20 at Taiwan Tech Arena in Taipei City.
 
During the event, NSTC Minister Wu Cheng-wen said that as artificial intelligence plays an increasingly important role in addressing global challenges such as climate change and economic transformation, Taiwan must sustain its manufacturing edge while working with global partners to promote pioneering AI applications and business models.
 
To this end, Wu said the NSTC will continue inviting international investment, recruiting global talent and leveraging the complimentary technological and industrial strengths of Taiwan and its like-minded partners in order to establish the country as a critical AI hub.
 
Among the entities participating in the show, three have won the prestigious CES Innovation Award. Taipei-based FaceHeart Corp. won in the digital health category for its CardioMirror, an AI-powered smart mirror that detects atrial fibrillation and heart failure with 90 percent accuracy, along with other vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate.
 
Also honored in the digital health category was a research team from the National Laboratory Animal Center under Taiwan’s National Applied Research Laboratories for developing a system that reduces the number of animals required for laboratory experiments. Meanwhile, Hong Kong startup and TTA member R2C2 Limited was recognized in the robotics category for its automated industrial inspection system.
 
The entities will showcase their latest offerings at the Taiwan Pavilion at the CES Jan. 7-10 in Las Vegas. The area will be divided into the five categories of AI, digital health, smart cities, sustainability, and vehicle tech and advanced mobility, the NSTC said. (SFC-E)
