FUTUREMODE 台灣未來祭: Taiwan’s Tech Festival Shaping the Future of AI, Web3, and Emerging Tech
A New Festival for AI, Web3, and Emerging Technology Takes Over Taipei Expo Park This September
Taipei, Taiwan
Onboard, the team behind Taipei Blockchain Week, today announced that Asia's leading Web3 gathering will evolve into FUTUREMODE 台灣未來祭, a next-generation technology and culture festival at the intersection of AI, Web3, and emerging technology. Co-hosted with Google Cloud and TABEI, supported by Taiwan’s National Development Council, FUTUREMODE aims to establish a globally connected technology platform that accelerates Taiwan’s position in the next era of innovation.
Over the past four years, Taipei Blockchain Week established itself as a premier destination for builders, investors, and founders across Asia's digital asset ecosystem. FUTUREMODE expands that foundation to serve multiple industry verticals.
FUTUREMODE will take place from September 4–6, 2026 at Taipei Expo Park.
A Multi-Track Experience for the Next Era of Technology
FUTUREMODE is built on a simple reality: the future is arriving faster than most people are prepared for, but not everyone needs the same entry point.
The three-day program is intentionally designed as a multi-layered experience, bringing together global industry leaders, builders and creators, and the broader public through distinct but connected programming.
For industry experts and global leaders: deep-dive discussions and frontier insights
For builders, founders, and creators: hands-on workshops, product demos, and practical sessions focused on building, launching, and scaling in the new tech landscape
For the broader public: immersive exhibitions, live demonstrations, and accessible 101 programming that bring AI and emerging technologies into everyday life
Up-skilling 10,000 People for the AI Era
At its core, FUTUREMODE is an upskilling movement.
The festival aims to equip over 10,000 attendees with practical knowledge and tools to adapt and thrive in the age of emerging technologies.
“At Onboard, our goal has always been to make emerging technology accessible to more people without losing depth for those already at the frontier,” said Tiffany Lai, Conference Director of FUTUREMODE. “FUTUREMODE is a gathering where industry leaders go deep and the next wave learns how to catch up. If we can help 10,000 people better understand and apply new technology, that’s how we keep Taiwan competitive.”
Through curated workshops and guided learning tracks, participants will learn how to:
Use AI tools to enhance productivity and creativity
Build, launch, and scale in Web3 and decentralized ecosystems
Navigate new career paths shaped by automation and digital transformation
Understand the real-world applications of emerging technologies
Connecting Taiwan to the Heart of Global Technology
As the backbone of the world’s AI infrastructure from semiconductor manufacturing to hardware production, Taiwan plays a critical role in the future of global technology. FUTUREMODE’s decision to host the event in Taiwan reflects the country’s strategic importance in the global innovation landscape.
The festival will feature speakers and contributors from global technology leaders including Google, NVIDIA, AMD, and other leading organizations, alongside founders, researchers, and innovators from around the world.
The event is also supported by prominent venture capital leaders and strategic advisors, including:
Nicole Jan, Chairman, Artificial Intelligence Association, Digital Trust Association
Po-Yen Shen, Taiwan Innovative Software and Services Association
David Wu, Partner, Acorn Pacific Ventures
Joesph Hsieh, Executive Director/Partner Taiwan Impact Investing Association, Sustainable Impact Capital
“At a time when technology is reshaping every industry globally, Taiwan is stepping onto the international stage through its deep technical foundation,” said Nicole Jan, Chairman of the AI Technology Foundation and Taiwan Digital Trust Association. “FUTUREMODE places community at its core — connecting founders, developers, and practitioners across industries so Taiwan’s innovation ecosystem can gather here and engage with the world.”
FUTUREMODE is not designed as a one-way showcase, but as a platform for meaningful connection and long-term collaboration. What began in 2022 as a Web3 summit has evolved into a city-scale technology and cultural festival blending industry, community, and creativity.
Whether you are a startup founder, a student entering the workforce, or simply someone curious about how technology is reshaping the world, FUTUREMODE aims to create a place where people can learn together, build together, and shape the future together.
