Four featured exhibition areas echoing these themes include SmarTEX (featuring five major IoT applications), InnoVEX (the world’s best platform for global startups), Gaming & VR (featuring high-performance gaming and VR products) and iStyle (showcasing Apple MFi-certified peripherals with great design and aesthetic value).

During the five-day show, several gaming competitions and activities will also be held, including OC World Cup, Computex Modding Challenge – CyberMods and Zotac Cup Masters. Not only demonstrating diversity of Computex, these events will also help shape the future look of the global ICT industry.
