Innovative technologies are on display at the Taiwan Space pavilion at Satellite 2025 March 11-13 in Washington, D.C., underscoring the government’s commitment to showcasing Taiwan’s technological prowess while expanding global business opportunities for local firms.
Organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Industrial Development Administration and Taiwan Space Agency (TASA), the pavilion shows 45 technologies and products from 18 domestic enterprises. They include satellite components and ground station equipment, as well as innovative aviation communications, optical payload and satellite body technologies.
Highlights span a portable multiorbit satellite user terminal device produced by Taoyuan City-based Auden Techno Corp. and the country’s first set of Ka-band radio-frequency integrated circuits developed by Hsinchu County-headquartered Industrial Technology Research Institute. Equally impressive are Rapidtek Technologies Inc.’s Internet of Things communication payload and array antenna measuring a mere 97 mm by 97mm, which are both used in CubeSats, a satellite class with a form factor of 10 cm cubes.
The organizers also held business matching events for local entities to engage in exchanges with global companies based in Canada, France, Luxembourg and the U.S., the MOEA said.
According to the MOEA, the IDA has supported domestic firms in developing satellite terminal components and equipment used in the aviation, automotive, household and maritime sectors since 2021. The output value of Taiwan’s satellite ground equipment also topped NT$244.1 billion (US$7.4 billion) last year, a significant year-on-year increase of 18 percent, the ministry said.
The high quality and low production cost of Taiwan’s information and communications technology sector give the country a strategic advantage in the international market, the MOEA said, adding that the IDA will continue backing local enterprises’ development of essential satellite system products and technologies.
