Taiwan Excellence to showcase AI innovations at Convergence India Expo 2026
17 companies to debut five new AI products at New Delhi event from 23–25 March.
MUMBAI: Taiwan Excellence is rolling into Delhi with enough AI horsepower to make even the fastest processor blush because when the “AI Island” visits India, the future arrives early. Taiwan Excellence will participate in Convergence India Expo 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from 23–25 March, occupying Hall 5, Booth A5-150. The pavilion will feature next-generation solutions across Edge AI & Industrial Computing, AI Infrastructure & High-Speed Storage, Future Connectivity, and Smart Mobility.
Seventeen leading Taiwanese companies will exhibit, Aaeon, Aetina, Adlink, Aplex, Arbor, Asustor, Chimei Motors, Datavideo, Ibase, Innodisk, Lanner, Phison, Planet, Transcend, UfiSpace, Wincomm, and Zyxel.
A key highlight is the launch of five new AI-related products during the expo. A press conference titled “From Silicon to Solutions: Building India’s AI Infrastructure Backbone with Taiwan” will take place at 12:30 p.m. on 23 March at the booth, showcasing comprehensive AI solutions from Taiwan brands.
The participation reinforces Taiwan’s role as a vital partner in India’s digital transformation. Bilateral trade between Taiwan and India reached approximately USD 12.516 billion last year, underscoring deepening economic ties.
Taiwan, often called the “AI Island,” drives global AI progress through its semiconductor design and manufacturing leadership producing many of the world’s advanced chips used in AI systems from Nvidia, Apple and others. Government-backed research, engineering talent and a resilient supply chain position Taiwan as a cornerstone of intelligent technologies.
Industry professionals are invited to visit the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion to explore innovations supporting India’s growth in technology, infrastructure, healthcare and smart cities.
In a world racing toward smarter everything, Taiwan Excellence isn’t just showing up, it’s bringing the silicon backbone that keeps the future plugged in and powered on.

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
