Smart tech rules at Taiwan's major security event

Taiwan is preparing for the 2026 edition of Secutech, a major event showcasing technologies across smart living, public safety, industrial protection, AIoT integration and disaster resilience.

Secutech 2026 will be held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center from 22–24 April 2026, bringing together over 400 exhibitors. Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, Taiwan Branch, the event dovetails with Taiwan’s accelerating pursuit of AI, cybersecurity and intelligent infrastructure.

The Taiwanese Government has outlined a long-term innovation roadmap that includes a US$3.16 billion venture capital fund, a national goal to cultivate 500,000 AI professionals by 2040, and major investments in quantum computing, silicon photonics and robotics. AI training is also being introduced across the public sector workforce to enhance cross-disciplinary skills and digital competitiveness.

In response to Taiwan’s evolving market needs, Secutech aims to connect exhibitors and buyers who are actively implementing intelligent, standards-aligned solutions.

“Trusted, AI-enabled technologies are now being deployed across safety, infrastructure and manufacturing,” said Regina Tsai, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, Taiwan Branch.

“This year’s fair will feature five zones that highlight areas where demand is growing rapidly, and where Taiwan’s innovation ecosystem is delivering scalable, standards-ready technologies to benefit global buyers and integrators.”

Secutech’s five zones

Critical infrastructure security applications zone

Designed to secure essential operations in transport, energy and utilities, this zone includes advanced solutions for sensing, control and edge intelligence. For example, TDV (Triple Domain Vision) will exhibit its iEdge4 AI edge computing controller and visual-sensing industrial internet of things (IIoT) devices, built for real-time risk detection and secure data flow in critical environments.

Smart building & living applications zone

‘Smart Application’, ‘Innovative Disaster Prevention’, ‘IoT and Smart Home’ and ‘Healthy Building’ are the four themed clusters that will comprise this showcase. Together, they demonstrate how automation, safety and sustainability come together in connected spaces. In this zone, REXLiTE.AI will unveil its smart home elegance platform and touchscreen interfaces for intuitive control of lighting, climate and security systems.

Smart factory & industrial safety zone

Targeting high-risk, high-output environments, this space is organised into dedicated sub-pavilions covering ESG, energy storage and disaster preparedness technologies, and a collective showcase led by the Taiwan Explosion Proof Electrical Association. Together, these groupings highlight technologies designed for use in hazardous and mission-critical settings.

Exhibitor Top Hi-Tech (THT-EX) will display heat- and cold-resistant LED lighting, hazardous-location-rated lights with battery back-up, and explosion-proof cable glands and accessories. Additional exhibits include fire alarm systems, specialty industrial lighting, and other innovations that support safer industrial operations, regulatory compliance and resilience across the manufacturing, logistics and energy sectors.

Security + AIoT zone

Artificial intelligence, edge computing and video analytics will take centre stage here, spotlighting advanced capabilities in surveillance and access control. The MIT Lock Excellence Gallery will highlight Taiwan’s expertise in smart locking systems and integrated access security. Network Optix will showcase intelligent video solutions for real-time monitoring and smart mobility. IP surveillance brand VIVOTEK will present a new panoramic AI camera and enhanced night vision technology for improved low-light performance.

Fire protection, disaster prevention & rescue zone

Running alongside the Asia Disaster Prevention Summit, this area demonstrates Taiwan’s growing capabilities in intelligent emergency response and urban safety. Cheng Deh Fire Protection will showcase eco-Li lithium battery extinguishers, customisable fire trucks and automated suppression systems. Also on display are early warning alarms, mobile rescue tools, and integrated command platforms that support coordinated responses across government, industrial and community settings.

Together, the five zones intend to demonstrate how proven new technologies can be applied in real-world environments, giving buyers and stakeholders a clear view of solutions that are ready for deployment and scale.
