The Smart City Summit & Expo (SCSE) marks its **13th edition this year and has become Asia’s largest and most influential professional platform for smart city exchange. The 2026 Expo will continue with the dual-host-city model of Taipei and Kaohsiung, leveraging emerging technologies and innovative solutions to help cities worldwide optimize governance and drive digital transformation across industries.

As the core hub of the smart industry ecosystem and IoT applications in southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung serves not only as a testing ground for smart technologies, but also as a focal point for digital transformation and cross-border business opportunities in net-zero carbon development. This year’s exhibition features Taiwan’s first generative sovereign AI platform—the Smart Kaohsiung Lighthouse Project, along with themed pavilions on smart healthcare, hydrogen energy, and AI-driven net-zero startups, showcasing the integration of technology and sustainability while enabling industry players to connect with domestic and international markets.

We sincerely invite you to attend the “Kaohsiung Smart City Expo Opening Ceremony and Awards Presentation” on the morning of March 20, to explore global trends in smart applications, promote Taiwan’s industrial supply chains’ engagement with New Southbound markets, and help realize the vision of “positioning Taiwan as a global hub for smart city solution providers.”
