COMPUTEX Taipei, or Taipei International Information Technology Show (traditional Chinese: 台北国际电脑展), is a computer expo held annually at the Taipei World Trade Center in Taipei, Taiwan. The first COMPUTEX expo held in 1981 started out as a place where small and medium sized businesses in Taiwan's nascent computer industry could display their products. As Taiwan's information technology industry took off in the early 1990s, COMPUTEX has since rapidly expanded and become an important showcase for IT industry. Now it has become the second largest computer expo in the world (after CeBIT) and the largest in Asia, with participation from major manufacturers such as Intel, AMD, ATI, NVIDIA, and others.
Because of the large number of companies involved in the production of computer hardware in Taiwan, COMPUTEX has become a favorite location for observers hoping to get a preview of new hardware and trends in that field.
