Asia’s leading integrated B2B agribusiness platform will unite innovators, buyers and decision-makers to accelerate collaboration in AI, sustainability and next-generation food production.
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Global agribusiness is entering a period of profound transformation. Artificial intelligence is reshaping agricultural production, climate change is accelerating demand for resilient farming systems, supply chains are being restructured, and sustainability has become a core business requirement rather than a long-term ambition.
Across the industry, companies are seeking practical technologies, trusted partners and new market opportunities to remain competitive. Responding to these global shifts, Taiwan Smart Agriweek 2026 will take place from September 8–10, 2026, at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (TaiNEX) Hall 1, bringing together innovators, manufacturers, buyers, researchers and policymakers from around the world to explore the future of agribusiness.
Entering its 12th edition, Taiwan Smart Agriweek is expected to welcome participants from 69 countries, with more than 400 exhibiting companies and over 21,000 professional visitors. The exhibition has evolved into one of Asia’s leading integrated B2B agribusiness platforms, covering agriculture, aquaculture, livestock, food technology, cold chain logistics and sustainable production.
Unlike conventional trade fairs that focus primarily on product displays, Taiwan Smart Agriweek is designed around the industry’s most pressing challenges. Visitors will discover integrated solutions spanning smart agriculture, precision animal nutrition, intelligent aquaculture, food innovation, cold chain technologies and sustainable resource management.
From smart and automation technologies, equipment and key components to biotechnology applications such as feed nutrition and microbial solutions, the exhibition presents a broad range of solutions designed to improve production efficiency, strengthen resilience, and address climate change and sustainable production challenges across agriculture, aquaculture and livestock.
International industry exchange will begin one day before the exhibition opens. On September 7, the 6th International Precision Animal Nutrition Forum and the 2nd Smart Aquaculture Production Conference will take place first. From September 8–10, more than 20 professional forums, technical seminars and industry exchange activities will follow, spanning smart agriculture and AI applications, automation and agricultural robotics, precision animal nutrition, smart aquaculture, biotechnology, agricultural green energy, circularity and net zero, cold-chain technology, climate resilience and sustainable production.
A key highlight of the 2026 edition is the debut of the Global Agri-Food Innovation Championship (GAIC). Forty startup teams, with participating teams spanning eight countries — Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, India and the United States — will participate across AgriTech and FoodTech, connecting with corporate partners, investors and international markets through competition, business matching, market validation and investment engagement.
To maximize business outcomes, Taiwan Smart Agriweek will continue its Hosted Buyer Program together with AI-powered Business Matching, enabling exhibitors and international buyers to schedule targeted meetings and accelerate cross-border partnerships.
“The future of agribusiness will not be defined solely by technological innovation, but by the ability to build trusted partnerships across borders. Taiwan Smart Agriweek provides a platform where international buyers can find not only products, but also technologies, key components, biotechnology-based solutions, trusted suppliers and integrated solutions — turning innovation into practical collaboration and collaboration into sustainable business growth.”
