Organised by the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders’ Association (TMBA), the Taiwan International Machine Tool Show (TMTS 2026) will be held from March 25 to 28, 2026 at the Taichung International Exhibition Center.
With the three themes of “AI-Powered Sustainable Manufacturing,” “Ecosystem Co-exhibition,” and “Showroom-Factory Experience in Taichung,” TMTS continues to build the most comprehensive smart manufacturing platform. As the show approaches, the organiser has launched an integrated online-offline marketing campaign, unveiling highlight exhibitors in advance to help global buyers capture the key trends.
Technology trends driving the future
AI and sustainable manufacturing have become the cornerstones of industrial upgrading. TMTS 2026 will showcase the latest applications in artificial intelligence, smart connectivity, and energy-saving carbon reduction, helping the industry seize the momentum of global manufacturing transformation.
Seamless online-offline connection for global buyers
Through its official website and social media platforms, TMTS 2026 will continuously release exhibitors’ highlights and product information. Global buyers can stay updated anytime, anywhere. This online integration not only enhances international visibility but also establishes pre-show communication channels, making onsite interactions more efficient. During the exhibition, the physical venue will feature complete solutions, while the digital platform ensures a continuous information stream – creating an “exhibition that never ends.”
Enriched activities to deepen visitor experience
To help visitors gain deeper insights into industry trends, TMTS 2026 will host a variety of interactive activities, including professional forums, product launches, live demonstrations, and cross-disciplinary academic-industry exchanges. These activities will allow attendees to experience smart manufacturing first-hand, engage directly with experts and industry leaders, and obtain practical solutions tailored to real-world needs.
Showroom-Factory experience showcasing cluster strength
Leveraging Taichung’s complete machine tool industry cluster, TMTS 2026 will highlight the unique “Showroom-Factory” model. Buyers will not only see the latest equipment at the exhibition but also visit local factories to experience product performance and services first-hand, enhancing the immediacy and trust of procurement decisions.
Academia-Industry collaboration creating value
The show will also serve as a key platform for academic-industry collaboration, bringing together research institutions, scholars, and industry representatives to foster technical exchange and innovative cooperation, injecting new momentum into smart manufacturing development.
Global connections expanding business opportunities
As a premier event for the global machine tool industry, TMTS 2026 will connect international buyers with Taiwan’s manufacturing strengths through diverse and innovative showcases, creating greater opportunities for collaboration and business. TMBA sincerely invites industry leaders and global buyers to join and witness the new chapter of smart manufacturing.
Taiwan showcased AI-driven machine tool solutions at EMO 2025
With 121 exhibitors and ranking 4th worldwide, Taiwan made a strong impression at EMO 2025. Under the theme “AI Shaping the Future”, Taiwan showcased how artificial intelligence is transforming manufacturing with greater precision, efficiency, and sustainability.
At the Taiwan AI Empowered Machine Tool Industry Executive Dialogue, industry leaders emphasised Taiwan’s complete ecosystem – spanning electronics, ICT, semiconductors, and machinery – that accelerates AI adoption in machine tools.
Key highlights included: Cosen Precision: AI sawing system boosting efficiency and stability in aerospace. She Hong: AI thermal compensation improving mould machining accuracy by 60%. HOSEA Precision: AIoT platform enabling SMEs to upgrade with predictive diagnostics and energy savings.
Industry associations TAMI and TMBA stressed Taiwan’s shift from “price competition” to “value competition,” promoting digital transformation and an AI knowledge-sharing platform to speed up adoption.
Looking ahead, Taiwan will showcase its latest innovations at TMTS 2026 in Taichung (AI empowerment, smart and sustainable manufacturing) and TIMTOS 2027 in Taipei (AI deeply integrated into smart manufacturing).
From aerospace to automotive, from complete machines to components, Taiwan’s AI-driven machine tool industry is rapidly advancing and is set to play a pivotal role in the global transformation of manufacturing.
