Taiwan Excellence showcases medtech at Singapore fair

Taiwan Excellence will showcase 16 Taiwanese medical technology companies at Medical Fair Asia 2026 in Singapore, grouping them into three healthcare segments.

Organised by Taiwan's International Trade Administration and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council, the display focuses on hospital systems, diagnostics and home-based care.

The event comes as healthcare systems across Asia face pressure from ageing populations and staff shortages. Singapore has drawn particular attention as it approaches super-aged status, with one in five residents expected to be 65 or older.

Against that backdrop, the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion is presenting products for different points in the care pathway, from hospital wards and clinics to patients' homes. The line-up is designed to connect Taiwan's information and communications technology sector with medical engineering, while supporting buyers and healthcare providers in Southeast Asia.

Three zones

The pavilion is divided into Smart Hospital, Smart Clinic & Diagnostics, and Home & Preventive Care. In the hospital section, exhibitors are showing ward automation systems, surgical robotics and hardware infrastructure designed for continuous operation.

That group includes Advantech, Axiomtek, EPED, Joson-Care, Taiwan Surgical and Wellell. The clinic and diagnostics section features portable screening tools, rapid biosensors and telemedicine equipment from APEX Biotechnology, AVer Information, Energy Resources International, IBASE Technology and Transcend Information.

The home and preventive care line-up includes Charder Electronic, DEMAI, Dr.Foot Technology, Gee Hoo Industrial and Sauber Technology. These products target consumer and elderly care needs, including routine health monitoring and wellness management outside hospital settings.

Taiwanese suppliers have sought to expand their presence in Southeast Asia as regional demand grows for devices that can help manage long-term care, outpatient bottlenecks and pressure on inpatient services. The Singapore event offers a platform to meet distributors, hospital leaders, agents and academic partners from across ASEAN.

Medical technology is an area where Taiwan is seeking to extend its manufacturing and electronics base into healthcare. The participating companies reflect a mix of device makers, digital health suppliers and specialist equipment firms.

Regional focus

Organisers are also using the event to promote broader commercial ties in healthcare supply chains. Alongside the exhibition, the pavilion will serve as a venue for procurement discussions and business matching between Taiwanese suppliers and overseas buyers.

A related campaign, Go Healthy with Taiwan, aims to encourage international organisations and companies to work with Taiwan's healthcare sector. The initiative is part of a wider effort to strengthen long-term trade links in smart healthcare products.

Megan Liu, Director of the TAITRA Singapore Office, said the pavilion is intended to respond to regional healthcare demand. "The theme 'From Taiwan with Care' reflects our commitment to developing human-centric MedTech that directly addresses the region's evolving healthcare needs. By bridging Taiwan's robust ICT infrastructure with biomedical expertise, we are delivering the precision tools necessary to overcome today's complex clinical challenges," Liu said.

She added: "We look forward to engaging with healthcare providers and industry partners to explore how our innovations can collaboratively drive sustainable, long-term improvements in patient outcomes."

The companies involved span several parts of the medtech market, including data systems, patient monitoring, diagnostics, surgical tools and rehabilitation-related products. Their presence under a single pavilion signals Taiwan's effort to present healthcare technology as a coordinated export sector rather than a set of isolated products.

For Singapore and neighbouring markets, that pitch comes as policymakers and providers look for ways to shift some care away from acute settings. Home monitoring, portable diagnostics and ward automation all align with the search for more efficient care delivery models.

The 16 exhibitors are Advantech, APEX Biotechnology, AVer Information, Axiomtek, Charder Electronic, DEMAI, Dr.Foot Technology, Energy Resources International, EPED, Gee Hoo Industrial, IBASE Technology, Joson-Care, Sauber Technology, Taiwan Surgical, Transcend Information and Wellell.
