Forum Record｜September 5, 2026
Quantum Taiwan Forum 2026 | Technology, Industry and Dialogue
Revisit QTF 2026 through photographs, opening remarks and selected reporting—from pre-forum exchanges and full-stack systems to enabling technologies and investment-day discussions.
Connecting technology, manufacturing, markets and capital
TAQCIT and SEMI co-organized Quantum Taiwan Forum 2026. Its September 1–3 program connected quantum computers, enabling technologies and investment discussions through Quantum for Market, Makers and Money (Q4M3). An international quantum industry leaders and press luncheon on August 31 opened the pre-forum exchanges.
This record brings together images and public reporting to preserve the context of those discussions. The complete schedule and presentation titles remain in the event archive.
From full-stack systems to an enabling ecosystem
Full Stack Quantum Computers on September 1 focused on quantum computers and systems. Enabling Technologies on September 2 extended the discussion to measurement and control, cryogenic interconnects, software and applications. Together, the public forums broadened the view from individual components to complete systems and their manufacturing ecosystem.
The program offers a way to consider Taiwan’s role through hardware–software integration and the contribution of semiconductor, photonics and engineering capabilities to quantum-system needs.
Understanding investment discussions through applications and systems
Images from the invitation-only investment day on September 3 document presentations addressing quantum chemistry, computer-aided engineering, machine learning and cryogenic systems engineering. Quantum Investment Night adds a record of exchanges among participants.
Quantum Investment Day took place on the sixth floor of Grand Hilai Taipei. Quantum Investment Night was held at Danny’s Steakhouse at Grand Hilai Taipei.

Chairman Ching-Ray Chang and representatives of foreign missions in Taiwan, international quantum industry leaders, distinguished guests, and members of the media, good afternoon, everyone.
I am Kung Ming-hsin, Minister of Economic Affairs. It is a pleasure to address you today through this video.
First, I would like to thank TAQCIT, SEMI, and all our partners for bringing us together for today's International Quantum Industry Leaders Press Conference and Luncheon.
I would also like to extend my greetings to the American Institute in Taiwan, and to the missions of Australia, Canada, France, and Germany, Israel, Korea, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, represented today by representatives and deputies, as well as science and technology officials.
Your presence reflects the international community's strong interest in advancing quantum technology. It also underscores Taiwan's increasingly important role in global quantum collaboration and industrial partnerships.
Taiwan has a strong foundation in semiconductors and information and communications technology. Through Quantum Taiwan Forum 2026, we look forward to further connecting international technologies with Taiwan's industrial capabilities and market resources, fostering concrete partnerships and accelerating innovation toward real-world applications.
Finally, I wish today's event every success and all of you fruitful exchanges. Thank you.

Transcribed from the English remarks in this video.
Distinguished guests and friends from the global quantum industry, welcome.
For 60 years, Taiwan's semiconductor journey has put us on the map at Silicon Island.
Today, quantum technology is opening the next era. That is why we are putting forward a new vision: Tech Taipei Quantum Voyage.
Through the Taipei Quantum Accelerator, we aim to bring international technology to Taipei, attract global talent to Taipei, showcase Taiwan to global capital, and empower local industry to discover new quantum applications.
What we're building is more than a quantum cluster. It is a platform that connects with the world and makes dreams come true,
where technology converges in Taipei, where global talent meets in Taipei, where capital flows in Taipei, and where industry thrive in Taipei.
From Silicon Island to Quantum Valley. Welcome to Taipei. Welcome to the world. Together, let us unlock the quantum future for Taiwan's next 60 years.
Tech Taipei Quantum Voyage. Thank you very much.
