At SmarTEX, attendees will find solutions in a wide variety of information and communications technology (ICT) categories, including the latest and most advanced IoT applications available in security, smart home and entertainment, 3D printing, wearables, and automotive electronics.

SmarTEX—along with InnoVEX for startups and iStyle for business solutions—is one of COMPUTEX’s three new exhibits for 2016, created to reflect current ICT industry trends in smart IoT applications, innovation in IoT, and IoT solutions for business.

“The Internet of Things is definitely the most dynamic, exciting, and potentially rewarding force in tech, and SmarTEX provides a unique opportunity for representatives of regional and global businesses to discoverer the latest innovations in IoT, build new partnerships, and recognize their ideal positioning in the IoT ecosystem,” said Walter Yeh, executive vice president of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the organizer of COMPUTEX.
