Taiwan's Cybersecurity 'National Team' Targets Japanese Market at IT Week, Secures Over NT$13 Million in Deals

Taipei, Taiwan – In a strategic move to bolster Taiwan's cybersecurity industry on the global stage, a delegation of leading Taiwanese firms has successfully participated in the '2026 Japan IT Week Spring,' a prominent cybersecurity event held in Japan. Organized by the Digital Development Administration's Digital Industry Agency, in collaboration with the Taiwan Cybersecurity Alliance (TWDDC) and the Taiwan Information Security Association (TWISA), the initiative aimed to enhance Taiwan's international footprint and deepen digital supply chain cooperation with Japan.

To strengthen Taiwan's cybersecurity industry's international layout and deepen Taiwan-Japan digital supply chain cooperation, the Digital Development Administration's Digital Industry Agency, in collaboration with the Taiwan Cybersecurity Alliance (TWDDC) and the Taiwan Information Security Association (TWISA), led domestic companies to Japan to participate in the annual cybersecurity event '2026 Japan IT Week Spring,' and established the 'CYBER TAIWAN PAVILION'.

The 'Taiwan Cybersecurity Pavilion' served as a focal point, highlighting Taiwan's indigenous research and development capabilities in critical domains such as zero-trust architecture, AI cybersecurity, and post-quantum cryptography. This showcase underscored Taiwan's technological prowess and its positioning as a reliable partner in the global digital supply chain. The delegation's participation was particularly timely, aligning with Japan's 'SECURITY ACTION' policy, which is expected to significantly increase the demand for cybersecurity solutions among Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises. By presenting a united 'national team,' Taiwanese cybersecurity companies aimed to lower market entry barriers and leverage the friendly bilateral relationship to drive cybersecurity exports.

Through this overall export as a 'national team,' Taiwanese cybersecurity companies can not only lower the threshold for entering the Japanese market but also seize the opportunity of Taiwan-Japan friendly relations to inject strong momentum into cybersecurity exports.

The exhibition proved fruitful, with the Taiwanese delegation engaging with nearly 600 potential partners and participating in a vendor pitch event that attracted approximately 150 experts. Significant business discussions were held with major Japanese enterprises, including GMO Internet Group, ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC), and Nippon Systemware (NSW). These interactions preliminarily generated an estimated NT$13.5 million in matchmaking business opportunities. Furthermore, the delegation visited key Japanese organizations like the Japan Data Center Council (JDCC) and the Japan Electric Measuring Instruments Manufacturers Association (JEMIMA) to explore cybersecurity needs in data centers and industrial control systems, reinforcing Taiwan's commitment to collaborative innovation and solidifying its foundational role in the international cybersecurity landscape.
