French companies are being invited to join the online 2026 Taiwan–France AI Industry Matchmaking Forum on 29 September 2026, a business-focused event designed to connect Taiwanese and French firms around AI security, chip security and related technologies, including post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

The forum is hosted by Taiwan’s Industrial Development Administration (IDA), Ministry of Economic Affairs, and supported by ITRI. It aims to identify technology needs and cooperation opportunities between the two ecosystems, with AENEAS specifically encouraging French members active in AI security, cybersecurity, PQC and related fields to participate.

The event will run from 09:00 to 11:00 CEST in France, corresponding to 15:00 to 17:00 in Taiwan, and will be held entirely online in English.

The tentative agenda opens with remarks from the moderator and ITRI, followed by opening comments from a representative of the IDA and guest remarks by Léon (Hsiao-Yin) Wu, Director of the Economic Division at the Taipei Representative Office in France. A CEA-Leti representative is scheduled to present on “Building Resilience Together: France–Taiwan Collaboration in AI Security, PQC and AI Chips,” while Warren Pai, a cybersecurity expert at Deloitte Taiwan, will outline Taiwan AI security market trends and industry needs.

The core of the forum will be company presentations: five Taiwanese companies and five French companies will each briefly share their technologies and cooperation requirements. This will be followed by two rounds of B2B matchmaking, with breakout-group instructions and a short transition between sessions, before the event wraps up at 11:00.

Organisers say the programme is intended both to showcase technical capabilities and to facilitate direct business connections. Companies may either take part in the matchmaking sessions or attend to learn more about the technologies and partnership opportunities presented.

Interested companies are asked to complete a cooperation interest form, available in French, so the organisers can better assess their technology interests and potential collaboration needs.

French companies are invited to connect with Taiwanese partners at the online 2026 Taiwan–France AI Industry Matchmaking Forum on 29 September 2026.

Hosted by the Industrial Development Administration (IDA), Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan, and supported by ITRI, the forum will bring together Taiwanese and French companies to explore technology needs and cooperation opportunities in AI security, chip security and related fields, including post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

AENEAS encourages its French members, active in these areas, as well as cybersecurity and related technologies, to take part.
