/ About this event
THE NEXT AI WAVE WON’T LIVE IN A CHATBOX.
It will move through factories, machines, vehicles, and robots.
On October 9 during SF Tech Week, Silicon to Scale brings together leaders across semiconductors, AI infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, venture capital, and startups to explore what it takes to move Physical AI from prototype to production.
Meet the people building, funding, and deploying real-world AI—and discover opportunities for pilots, partnerships, and investment between Taiwan and Silicon Valley.
Built in Taiwan. Scaled in Silicon Valley.
CORPORATE DIALOGUE
FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION: PHYSICAL AI AT SCALE
A successful prototype is only the beginning.
Leaders across semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing will discuss what it takes to deploy Physical AI reliably at scale—from hardware-software integration and infrastructure to enterprise adoption and global production.
Speaker lineup coming soon.
VENTURE DIALOGUE
WHAT MAKES PHYSICAL AI INVESTABLE?
Physical AI doesn’t follow the traditional SaaS playbook.
Investors and industry leaders will discuss what matters beyond the demo: defensible technology, credible customer validation, capital-efficient milestones, and a realistic path to global scale.
Speaker lineup coming soon.
FOUNDER SHOWCASE
Meet five emerging AI and deep-tech companies from Taiwan building across digital twins, enterprise agents, semiconductor security, industrial intelligence, and real-world AI:
• metAI • Morale AI • Jmem Tek • NeuroShine • APMIC
Each founder will share what they’re building, where they’re gaining traction, and the customers, partners, and investors they want to meet next.
CURATED FOUNDER MEETINGS
Selected investors and industry leaders will join pre-matched conversations with participating founders to explore potential investment, pilots, partnerships, and U.S. market opportunities.
WHO SHOULD JOIN
This summit is designed for founders, investors, corporate leaders, and technologists building, funding, or deploying AI in the physical world.
Join us to:
• Discover emerging Physical AI companies • Hear perspectives across silicon, infrastructure, manufacturing, and capital • Explore potential pilots, partnerships, and investments • Connect with the Taiwan–Silicon Valley technology ecosystem
