臺北市政府將於2026年3月19日假香格里拉遠東大飯店舉辦「2026臺北國際城市論壇」，邀集全球城市首長、政府代表及專家學者齊聚臺北，共同探討未來城市發展趨勢與AI應用於城市治理的創新實踐，預計約有200位國內外人士參加與會。

本次應邀出席論壇的國際城市首長，包括分別來自美國、歐洲、亞太及中美洲等多個臺北市的姊妹市及國際友好城市的市長或副市長，他們將透過專題演講及高峰對談形式，分享城市在數位轉型、智慧交通、淨零永續、醫療創新及文化創意等政策領域的實踐經驗。臺北期盼藉由此一國際交流平台，強化城市外交能量，並與全球城市建立更緊密且具實質成果的合作關係。

本屆論壇以「未來城市」為主軸，聚焦AI技術如何應用於公共服務、交通治理、城市安全、數位轉型與永續發展，探討城市在數位浪潮下如何兼顧創新與人本價值，建構更具韌性與智慧的都市治理模式。透過城市首長專題演講與主題座談，分享各城市在智慧治理、淨零轉型與社會服務創新的實務經驗，促進跨城市政策交流與實質合作，展現臺北在智慧治理與永續城市發展上的成果與願景。

當日中午也將舉辦「產業交流午餐會」，邀請國際城市、在臺跨國企業、各國在臺商會、科技新創等重點產業代表共同參與。透過專題簡報及餐敘交流形式，促進城市治理與產業發展的實質對話，深化公共部門與產業界合作連結。

值得關注的是，全球AI領導企業輝達（NVIDIA）將在臺北設立海外總部，凸顯臺北在AI產業鏈上關鍵重要的戰略地位。北市府指出，隨著國際科技企業進駐，臺北不僅是產業創新重鎮，也正逐步成為AI技術落地應用於公共治理的重要城市場域。本屆論壇也將結合3月17日至18日在臺北市南港展覽館舉行的「2026智慧城市展暨淨零城市展」相關活動，展示AI與城市治理整合成果，促進產官學跨域合作。

北市府強調，「2026臺北國際城市論壇」不僅是一場國際會議，更是臺北面向未來的重要宣示。透過AI科技結合公共政策創新，臺北將持續深化智慧治理，提升城市韌性與國際競爭力，邁向更安全、更永續、也更具創新動能的未來城市。

2026 Taipei International Cities Forum Takes Center Stage - Focusing on Future Cities and AI Governance to Deepen Global Urban Cooperation and Industry Partnerships

The Taipei City Government will host the 2026 Taipei International Cities Forum on March 19, 2026 at Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei. The event will bring together mayors, government representatives, experts and scholars from around the world to explore emerging trends in urban development and innovative applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in urban governance. Approximately 200 participants from Taiwan and abroad are expected to attend.

Invited speakers include mayors and deputy mayors from Taipei’s sister cities and international friendly cities across the United States, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and Central America. Through keynote presentations and high-level panel discussions, speakers will share their cities’ experiences in various policy areas, including digital transformation, intelligent transportation systems, net-zero sustainability, health-care innovation, and cultural creativity. Taipei hopes that this international platform will serve to strengthen its capabilities of city diplomacy and foster closer, results-oriented partnerships with cities worldwide.

This year’s forum centers on the theme of “Future Cities,” examining how AI can be applied to public services, transportation management, urban safety, digital transformation, and sustainable development. Discussions will explore how cities can balance technological innovation with human-centered values in the digital era, while building more resilient and intelligent governance models. Through thematic presentations and dialogues, city leaders will exchange practical experiences in smart governance, net-zero transition, and social service innovation, promoting inter-city policy learning and tangible cooperation, while showcasing Taipei’s achievements and vision in smart governance and sustainable urban development.

A business networking luncheon will also be held on the same day, bringing together representatives from international cities, multinational companies operating in Taipei, foreign chambers of commerce, and high-tech startups. Through briefings and social exchanges over lunch, the event will facilitate meaningful dialogues on urban governance and industrial development, while strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors.

Of particular note, global AI leader NVIDIA is set to establish its first overseas headquarters in Taipei, highlighting the city’s global strategic importance within the AI industry. The Taipei City Government noted that as international high-tech companies continue to expand their presence in the city, Taipei is emerging not only as a hub of industrial innovation but also as a key testing ground for the practical application of AI in public governance. The forum will also connect with related events of the 2026 Smart City Summit & Expo and Net-Zero City Expo, which will take place from March 17 to 18 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, showcasing the integration of AI and urban governance while promoting cross-sector collaboration among government, industry, and academia.

The Taipei City Government emphasized that the 2026 Taipei International Cities Forum is more than an international conference—it represents Taipei’s forward-looking commitment to the future. By integrating AI technologies with public policy innovation, Taipei will continue to dive into smart governance, step up urban resilience and global competitiveness, and move toward a city that is safer, more sustainable, and driven by innovation.
