Top Tech in Taiwan: IPC's Blueprint to Advance Smart Manufacturing
June 4, 2025 | Sydney Xiao, IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Renowned as a global hub of innovation and a cornerstone of the electronics industry, Taiwan is leading advancements in technology and manufacturing. A decade ago, IPC established an office in Taiwan, embedding itself deeply in this innovative ecosystem. Now with nearly 200 member companies in the region, IPC remains dedicated to driving standardization, education, and technological progress in Taiwan’s electronics manufacturing sector.
In December 2024, we led a team on a multi-day visit to Taiwan that brimmed with potential. We centered our visit on smart manufacturing, and created a collaboration that envisions and shapes the industry’s future.
Learning from NVIDIA: A Step Into the Future
NVIDIA, a global leader in artificial intelligence and graphics computing, is revolutionizing smart manufacturing. In Taipei, our IPC team engaged in comprehensive discussions with NVIDIA representatives, exploring the transformative potential of technologies like NVIDIA Omniverse™ in enabling digitalization and intelligent manufacturing processes.
NVIDIA Omniverse is a platform of APIs, SDKs, and services that enable developers to integrate OpenUSD, NVIDIA RTX™ rendering technologies, and generative physical AI into existing software tools and simulation workflows for industrial and robotic use cases. Widely adopted across manufacturing, architecture, and design sectors, it serves as a vital tool for building next-generation digital ecosystems.
These dialogues not only broadened the possibilities for AI and 3D technology applications in manufacturing, but also set the stage for deeper, future-oriented collaborations between IPC and NVIDIA.
