In an era where AI systems are rapidly scaling beyond the limits of traditional silicon, new experimental companies are beginning to question what "compute" itself should look like. One of the most unusual entrants is The Biological Computing Company (TBC), which proposes a hybrid model integrating living neurons with modern machine learning systems to enhance performance, efficiency, and adaptability. The idea sits at the intersection of neuroscience and computing

Spain-based AI chip startup Semidynamics has recently seen a wave of positive developments. Its first chip, fabricated on TSMC's 3nm process, has successfully completed tape-out, and just weeks ago, the company secured an investment commitment from SK Hynix. Both significantly enhance its operational credibility and global visibility. CEO Roger Espasa stated that the company's proprietary Gazzillion technology is a specialized memory subsystem designed to address one of AI's most pressing challenges today: inefficient memory utilization, which has led to persistent supply constraints

As generative AI demand shifts from centralized cloud training to edge inference, Nokia and AI chip startup Blaize have expanded their partnership in Singapore, unveiling a full-stack solution for hybrid heterogeneous computing at GITEX AI Asia

As demand for AI computing continues to surge, terrestrial data centers are facing mounting constraints in power supply, thermal management, and land availability. As a result, the feasibility of space-based computing infrastructure is drawing increasing attention across the industry

AI agents and their high-powered capabilities are creating a new category of cybersecurity threats among enterprises using them, from accidental data breaches to bad actors breaking into company systems

While North America and Asia race to deploy "physics-bending" AI hardware, Europe has opted for a "wait-and-see" approach, shielded by thick layers of regulation. In a DIGITIMES Asia interview, CONTEXT World senior analyst Aaron Smith argues this is creating a vulnerability window. As Europe moves cautiously to ensure regulatory compliance, it is inadvertently extending the life of aging, insecure legacy systems. Meanwhile, advanced AI cyberattacks are intensifying, adding pressure to European enterprises

Tripo AI, founded in 2023, is rapidly emerging in AI-driven 3D content creation, turning text prompts or 2D images into production-ready 3D models in seconds. Backed by major investors like Alibaba and Baidu Ventures, the startup addresses growing demand from gaming, XR/AR/VR, e-commerce, and digital twins, positioning itself to capture a multi-billion-dollar market by democratizing professional 3D workflows

Enterprises have a 2035 deadline. That is when the US government expects companies to have completed their migration to post-quantum cryptography — a safeguard against the encryption-breaking capabilities that quantum computers will eventually possess. But long before that reckoning arrives, quantum technology is already opening doors in finance, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Ching-Ray Chang, director of CYCU's Quantum Information Center and a Global Quantum 100 honoree, maps out the road ahead at AI Expo Taiwan

As Nvidia and Coherent signal a shift toward all-optical networking to solve the AI power crisis, Redmond-based Lumotive has announced a milestone that could redefine data center scalability. In an interview with DIGITIMES Asia, Gleb Akselrod, Co-founder and CTO of Lumotive, detailed the success of the world's first programmable 2D optical beamforming chip

Britain and Taiwan are quietly building one of the space industry's more ambitious bilateral partnerships — one grounded not just in government agreements, but in classrooms, laboratories, and shared satellite infrastructure

As the world braces for the Trump-Xi summit scheduled for March 31 to April 2, headlines are dominated by the petrodollar, the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and the Anthropic ban. Yet beneath these shifts lies a hidden layer that determines the viability of the entire Western digital economy: Taiwan's untransferable industrial spirit

In August 2025, Filtronic secured a GBP47.3 million (US$63.2 million) contract from SpaceX — one of the company's largest equipment orders — to supply next-generation GaN E-band solid-state power amplifiers for the Starlink satellite network. The UK-based high-frequency RF and millimeter-wave technology firm, founded in 1977, has long served defense and telecommunications customers. It presented its latest SSPA product line at the 2026 UK Space-Comm Expo

Recent years have seen the dawn of a new era in warfare as militaries incorporate AI technologies into their operations. With countries seeking to gain the military edge, companies like EdgeRunner AI argue that they are the next frontier in warfare, creating products better suited for battle than LLMs such as Anthropic's Claude

At the 2026 Space-Comm Expo, ITRI and TSIDA signed an MOU with the UK’s ADS Group. This agreement marks a significant milestone in Taiwan-UK space cooperation, building on the momentum from the Taiwan-UK Space Industry Roundtable Forum held in September 2025

As enterprises accelerate adoption of generative AI, Israel-based startup Bria.ai is betting that copyright-compliant data, creator compensation, and enterprise-grade control can set it apart in a crowded market increasingly dominated by large AI platforms
