​TRENDY TAIPEI | StartSphere Taipei

​StartSphere Taipei, Taipei’s innovation and entrepreneurship summit, will take place from 3 to 4 September as part of the 2026 TRENDY TAIPEI series of events.

​Under the theme “TAIPEI IN VIBES,” TRENDY TAIPEI 2026 is Taipei’s international urban music festival, bringing together diverse fields including music, art, film and television, technology, gaming, and fashion.

​Centred on the theme “Beyond Limits, Prompt the Future,” StartSphere Taipei focuses on innovation in entertainment technology, cultural content, and international connections. Through the “Culturepreneurs” themed exhibition and five forums, the event will bring together international investors, entertainment technology startups, film and media professionals, and independent game development teams from eight countries—Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, France, the United States, and Malaysia—to explore emerging trends such as AI, immersive XR experiences, cross-border IP commercialisation, and the next generation of the creator economy.

​Play Behind the Scenes: How the Game Industry Actually Works

​The gaming industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in entertainment technology, with increasing investment flowing into the Asia-Pacific region. You may have cleared countless stages and pulled plenty of SSRs, but you have probably never had the chance to explore the commercial opportunities behind the games you play.  Play Behind the Scene lifts the curtain on how the game industry really works: how a studio plans its IP and product lineup, decides which titles to build, and allocates resources to claim its place in the global market. Led by GameWorks, the forum brings together Japan’s leading corporate venture fund Bandai Namco 021Fund and Vietnamese gaming unicorn VNG in conversation. They’ll share how they think about the future of games from the angles of new IP, next-generation entertainment, and technology, giving you a much clearer picture of how game companies operate and collaborate internationally.
