At a critical juncture of global semiconductor supply chain restructuring and the mass adoption of AI applications, the 2026 European Economic Congress (EEC 2026) grandly opened in Katowice, Poland. Dr. James Yang, Chairman of MICROIP (TPEx: 7796), was invited to the highly indicative "Poland-Taiwan Economic Cooperation Forum" to engage in a cross-border high-level dialogue. He was joined by Michael Chiu, Vice Chairman of HCG and representative of the Poland-Taiwan Business Association, Ambassador Jeff Liu, Representative of the ROC (Taiwan) in Poland, and numerous representatives from the EU and Poland's economic, technological, academic, and government sectors. The forum was personally hosted by Agnieszka Sygitowicz, President of the Polish-Taiwanese Chamber of Industry and Commerce (PTCIC). During the event, Dr. Yang shared the latest "Software-Driven Hardware" trend in the AI technology industry and advocated leveraging Taiwan's semiconductor prowess to jointly propel Poland into Europe's strategic hub for Edge AI.

Solving the "Last Mile" of AI Deployment: MICROIP Shares the New "Software-Driven Hardware" Trend

Addressing the "Last Mile" challenge faced by global industries when deploying AI, Dr. Yang provided a profound analysis to European leaders: The current difficulty in popularizing Edge AI is primarily due to highly fragmented end-user demands and a long-standing over-pursuit of AI hardware computing power at the expense of software application development. "MICROIP advocates the 'Software-Driven Hardware' trend for AI deployment," emphasized Dr. Yang. By supporting major mainstream chip platforms and utilizing low-power Customized ASIC Design Services (CATS) along with the AIVO No-Code Vision AI development platform, MICROIP enables exceptional engineers and industry experts in Poland and across Europe to transform their domain knowledge into exclusive AI applications with the lowest possible barrier to entry. This model has already demonstrated substantial commercial momentum in fields such as autonomous navigation for unmanned vehicles, smart security, and smart factories across Europe, America, and Asia, generating enthusiastic responses and active partnership inquiries from EU technology representatives at the venue.

The 2026 European Economic Congress (EEC 2026) was held grandly in Poland, bringing together European political, economic, and technological leaders. MICROIP's invited participation in the international forum became a focal point of the event.

Taiwan-Poland High-Level Collaboration: Building a Globally Strategic Resilient Supply Chain

The EEC 2026 forum was not only an exchange for Europe's high-tech industry but also garnered high attention from Taiwan's diplomatic frontlines and European industrial supply chains. Ambassador Jeff Liu attended to witness and demonstrate the government's full support for Taiwan-Poland tech diplomacy and technological linkage. Michael Chiu, Vice Chairman of HCG, approached the topic from the perspective of the military and advanced materials markets his group has recently invested in, pointing out that Poland is not just a gateway to the EU but a core innovation partner in Taiwan's global security industry layout. Chiu believes that Poland's abundant engineering talent and geostrategic position perfectly complement MICROIP's Edge AI technology to form an ideal "innovation scenario". Dr. Yang concurrently pointed out to EU and Polish officials that combining Europe's software talent with Taiwan's semiconductor hardware capabilities can create a highly secure "resilient supply chain". This represents not only a complementarity of supply chains but a deep symbiosis of technology and talent. Through bilateral cooperation, the aim is to transform Poland into Europe's "AI Hardware-Software Innovation Hub" within the next five years.

Arculus System Leads Chip Design Services, Pioneering a New Industry Paradigm

In addition to front-end application deployment, Dr. Yang simultaneously elevated the international influence of MICROIP's Arculus System in the field of EDA tool services. As a professional ASIC chip design service provider, MICROIP leverages the Arculus System EDA technology platform to help clients significantly shorten the cycle from R&D to mass production of ASIC chips. Dr. Yang emphasized that future technological competition lies in who can most rapidly and cost-effectively integrate AI into all industries.

Dr. Yang concluded that with the surging global demand for Edge AI and technological sovereignty, this successful dialogue at EEC 2026 showcased a win-win paradigm of deep symbiosis between "Taiwan semiconductor technology" and "Poland software talent". This not only assists MICROIP and its global ecosystem partners in redefining new standards for the global AIoT industry, but also enables the company to deeply align technological value with an international capital market perspective in its global expansion strategy, creating an entirely new landscape for Taiwan's ASIC and AI software design service industry.
