The Ministry of Economic Affairs on Tuesday held a press conference on Taiwan’s results at the 2026 Edison Awards. This years, Taiwanese businesses and three government-affiliated institutes bagged 16 awards in total, making for the third largest medal haul by country worldwide. These winning innovations are readily applicable to both industrial and consumer levels.

Growing computing power at AI data centers requires ever more efficient cooling solutions. ITRI’s 3D Aluminum-Microchannel Thermosyphon Heat Sink is pushing the envelope on this front, efficiently supporting heat loads just under 1.6 kW and increasing cooling efficiency by 33%. The aluminum structure is also 40% cheaper than conventional modules in material and manufacturing costs.

Heat quickly dissipates when air passes through these fins. This is also why our product has a lower thermal resistance, and in turn lowers the temperature of AI chips in operation.

There’s also the Smart Energy-efficiency Combustion System from the Metal Industries Research and Development Center, or MIRDC, used in industrial-level metal thermal processing. Compared with traditional combustion furnaces, MIRDC’s solution incorporates an AI self-learning mechanism and delivers on exceptional waste-heat recovery. The modular design can also be efficiently deployed at-scale, offering a quick solution for energy savings and emissions reduction.

The MIRDC has won almost 20 titles ever since we began participating in the Edison Awards. This year we won two silvers and two bronzes. I hope that the MIRDC not only gets its research implemented in industries, but that it can also be a key think tank for the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

This year, 16 Taiwanese innovations were recognized by the Edison Awards, 12 of which—for three golds, six silvers and three bronzes—were developed by institutes affiliated with the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In addition to industrial technologies, such as the heat sink and smart combustion system, the institutes also won awards for consumer-level and healthcare-related solutions. Honorable mentions include a Hybrid Regenerative Ligament Technology and running shoes made from a single piece of 3D fabric. The economics minister has high hopes for next year, too.

Kung Ming-hsin
Incoming Minister of Economic Affairs
I believe these projects and results are testament to our tireless efforts over the years. These fruitful results prove that hard work pays off. Let’s all persist and keep going. We’ll continue to deliver great results next year.

Taiwan’s stellar results in the “Oscars of Innovation” year after year demonstrates the country’s innovative prowess and industrial applicability of these award-winning solutions.
