Forged in Taiwan: Top-Tier Physical AI OEM/ODM Matchmaking
Forged in Taiwan: Top-Tier Physical AI Manufacturing Matchmaking
Thursday, June 17, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
＠Palo Alto, CA | Application-only event.
About This Event
SparkLabs Taiwan and TAIROA are bringing 18 of Taiwan's top robotics and manufacturing companies directly to Silicon Valley for an afternoon of structured, high-signal supply chain matchmaking.
This is not a panel or a pitch competition. It is a working session: pre-matched 1:1 conversations between Physical AI founders and Taiwan manufacturers who can actually help you move from prototype to production.
Every Taiwan representative attending is at decision-making level. Every startup spot has been curated. We have 6 startup spots available.
#robotics #UAV #physical AI #hardware
Who Should Apply
Founders, co-founders, and C-level of hardware-first Physical AI startups (Seed to Series A) who are actively looking for manufacturing partners and supply chain solutions outside of China.
You are a strong fit if you are building:
Humanoid or quadruped robots
Dexterous manipulation hardware
AGV, AMR, or autonomous systems
Industrial or construction robotics
Drones or UAV platforms
Any Physical AI hardware moving from prototype toward production
