美國德州休士頓本週舉行全球最大無人系統展會「XPONENTIAL 2025」，聚焦機器人、無人與自主系統，吸引來自各國的領導企業。台灣由國防產業發展協會領軍組團參展，展現強化無人機戰力、接軌國際市場的決心。
Houston, Texas this week hosts XPONENTIAL 2025, the world’s largest exhibition for unmanned and autonomous systems. Taiwan’s National Defense Industry Development Association (NDIDA) led a delegation to showcase its growing defense-tech capabilities.

身兼協會理事長的漢翔董事長胡開宏受訪指出，無人機是未來戰爭中不對稱戰力的核心元素，台灣必須儘速建立自主無人機戰力，並透過此次參展對接美國技術，加速整合雙方優勢。
Hu Kai-hung, chairman of both NDIDA and AIDC, stated that unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are crucial to asymmetric warfare and called for accelerating the development of Taiwan’s drone forces, emphasizing cooperation with U.S. partners.

此次參展的台灣廠商包括艾知科技、緯創等。艾知科技共同創辦人李芷婷表示，俄烏戰爭凸顯無人機的戰術價值，而美國市場對於去中化供應鏈有強烈需求，台灣正是理想的合作夥伴。
Among the Taiwanese exhibitors were Wistron and EdgeTech. Co-founder Tina Lee from EdgeTech noted that the Ukraine war has amplified drone demand and highlighted Taiwan as a trusted non-China supply chain partner for U.S. firms.

她指出，台灣在硬體設計與製造有深厚基礎，搭配美國的先進軟體開發能量，雙方可建立強大的研發聯盟，台灣也具備替代中國大疆（DJI）產品的潛力。
Lee emphasized Taiwan’s hardware excellence complements U.S. software leadership, creating a powerful alliance. She expressed hopes that EdgeTech drones could become an alternative to DJI, targeting public safety and defense sectors.

美國在台協會（AIT）處長谷立言（Raymond Greene）也特別親赴展區，肯定台美在無人機技術的互補性。外交部與經濟部代表亦到場支持。
American Institute in Taiwan Director Raymond Greene visited the Taiwan booths and praised the synergy between Taiwan’s industrial base and U.S. defense-tech needs. Officials from Taiwan’s MOFA and MOEA also attended.

外交部江振瑋執行長表示，雙方正在研議認證制度與技術標準合作事宜；經濟部產業發展署副組長盧文燦則強調，政府推動國防自主、產業發展與供應鏈韌性的三大策略，參展是打開國際市場的關鍵。
Executive Director Chiang Chen-wei of MOFA highlighted ongoing discussions with the U.S. on certification and standards. Vice Director Lu Wen-tsan from MOEA stressed Taiwan’s threefold policy on defense autonomy, industrial expansion, and resilient supply chains.
