Touch Taiwan 2025 : Exclusive Interviews from the French Touch Pavilion

Olivier: “Nanomade is a French startup that has developed a quantum-based sensor, currently among the most sensitive deformation sensors in the world. Our technology relies on nanoparticles and tunneling effects, allowing the sensor to be integrated into virtually any type of material or surface. This enables us to transform standard surfaces into smart, interactive ones.

We chose to attend TOUCH Taiwan because many of our applications target consumer electronics, and Taiwan is a key hub for global manufacturing. Being here allows us to showcase our integration capabilities directly to leading industry players.”

Olivier: “Our main objective is to engage directly with manufacturers and existing clients in Taiwan, particularly in the consumer electronics sector. Being physically present in this ecosystem is essential to strengthen relationships and explore new integration opportunities.”

Olivier: “We need to be close to manufacturers in consumer electronics, and Taiwan is a strategic location for that. The ecosystem here is highly concentrated, making it an ideal place to accelerate partnerships and deployment of our technology.”

Olivier: “In France, we mainly work with industries such as aerospace and defense, where development and commercialization cycles are long due to the nature of these sectors. In contrast, in consumer electronics, particularly in Taiwan, time-to-market is much shorter. Products integrating our sensors can be developed and launched within months, compared to several years in more traditional industries.”

Amr: “Hummink is a French startup based in Paris, founded in 2020, specializing in additive manufacturing for the semiconductor and display industries. We have developed a patented technology called high-precision capillary printing, which enables extremely fine, high-resolution printing.

This capability is particularly relevant for repair applications in both display and semiconductor manufacturing. We chose to attend TOUCH Taiwan because Taiwan sits at the center of the global high-tech industry, bringing together key players across the entire value chain. It is therefore an ideal platform to showcase our technology and engage with potential partners.”

Amr: “Our main objective is to demonstrate that our technology is already mature and available today. Until recently, solutions capable of delivering both high precision and a viable business case for repair applications were not sufficiently advanced. We are here to show that this is no longer the case, and that we can support manufacturers with practical, ready-to-deploy solutions.”

Amr: “This is not our first time in Taiwan, and the company has already engaged with the local ecosystem. Taiwan’s industrial strength in semiconductors and displays, combined with its capacity to build strong and long-term business relationships, makes it a key market for us. Being present here is essential to fully leverage these opportunities.”

Amr: “There are cultural differences in the way business is conducted, but in a technology-driven industry like ours, there is a strong common ground. While approaches may differ between Europe and Taiwan, the core expectations remain the same: high-quality products and a solid business case. As long as these are clearly demonstrated, it is always possible to build mutual understanding and successful collaborations.”

Romain: “Luchrome develops a new generation of electronic objects, combining innovative design with advanced technology. We chose Taiwan because it is a global hub for electronics manufacturing and a gateway to key Asian markets like Japan, South Korea, and China. TOUCH Taiwan, being specialized in display technologies, was the ideal platform to showcase our innovations and connect with potential partners.”

Romain: “Yes, as part of a Business France mission, we visited major industry players such as E Ink, Quanta, Cymmetrik and TSMC. These visits helped us better understand the local ecosystem and identify the right partners to collaborate with in Taiwan.”

Romain: “Taiwan provides a complete manufacturing ecosystem, with strong capabilities in component production, product integration, and scaling. In France, these positions in the electronics value chain are largely absent today, so Taiwan offers opportunities we cannot access at home, especially for integrating and industrializing our products.”
