| Taipei’s global appeal shines in 2026 with a powerhouse lineup of flagship events, including SEMICON Taiwan, COMPUTEX, Taipei Cycle, the 19th International Child Neurology Congress (ICNC), and the Rotary International Convention. Driving this momentum, the Department of Information and Tourism, Taipei City Government made a strong impact at IMEX Frankfurt in Germany. Through high-volume business appointments, strategic city branding, and the 'MICE Taipei, Nice Touch' campaign, the city showcased its premier MICE advantages to win more international conventions, corporate meetings, and incentive travel opportunities.

Looking ahead, Taipei City will continue to deepen its global presence through overseas promotions, trade show marketing, industry collaborations, and city branding. Combined with its one-stop MICE services and financial subsidies, Taipei is moving steadfastly toward its goal of becoming the preferred MICE destination in the Asia-Pacific region.
