Past event · TLA Taiwan Year-End Meetup
Agents Without Borders
A relaxed year-end evening of AI × Culture × Collaboration—closing the year with new tools, playful prototypes and new UK–Taiwan connections.
Closing the year with AI, culture and collaboration
Brought by the Tech London Advocates Taiwan Working Group, the year-end meetup fostered innovation exchange and community connection between Taiwan and the UK in a relaxed, creative and interactive format—bringing together entrepreneurs, creators, researchers and technologists from both nations under the theme AI × Culture × Collaboration.
With agentic workflows becoming such an important theme, the evening opened with a standout showcase, then moved straight into hands-on building. The prototypes teams produced in just forty minutes were genuinely inspiring—from cultural storytelling on Oxford Street to newcomer-support apps, travel agents and children's learning tools, every project showed curiosity, creativity and momentum.
