Portwell, Inc., a leading provider of industrial embedded computing solutions, announced that its subsidiary Wincomm Corporation achieved outstanding recognition at the APICTA Awards 2025, winning two Gold Awards and receiving the distinguished honor of a formal reception by Taiwan President William Lai. This achievement further elevates Taiwan’s global profile in smart healthcare and ICT innovation.
The accolades mark a significant milestone for both Portwell and Wincomm, highlighting the growing international competitiveness of Taiwan’s ICT and smart medical industry ecosystem.
According to Robert Wang, Managing Director of AWS Taiwan & Hong Kong and representative of the APICTA 2025 organizing committee, 2025 represents the strongest performance by Taiwanese teams in the history of the competition. It also marks the first time that award-winning teams were officially received and honored by the president, underscoring the strategic importance of digital innovation to Taiwan’s national development.
During the reception at the Presidential Office, President William Lai noted that Taiwan stood out among 256 entries from 13 Indo-Pacific economies, securing 10 Gold, 8 Silver, and 6 Bronze awards, setting a new APICTA record and demonstrating Taiwan’s robust ICT R&D and innovation capabilities.
Wincomm’s award-winning solution, an integrated all-in-one surgical touch computer for operating rooms, has already been successfully deployed in world-class da Vinci robotic surgery systems, serving as a key benchmark for Taiwan’s IPC industry entering the global high-end medical supply chain.
The solution integrates high-performance computing, AI-enhanced real-time imaging, fanless hygienic design, and proven system integration expertise, enabling long-term stable operation in mission-critical medical environments. It delivers a highly reliable core platform for surgical teams and exemplifies the real-world impact of Taiwan’s smart healthcare innovation.
Wincomm CEO H.Y. Chiou emphasized that through strategic integration with Portwell, the company is able to combine industrial resources and technological strengths to compete at scale in international markets. The shared foundation of this partnership is clear: build strong product fundamentals and actively drive real-world application deployment.
Wincomm’s outstanding performance at the APICTA Awards 2025 stands as a concrete example of how the two companies together transform innovation into globally deployable solutions. Looking ahead, Portwell and Wincomm will continue to deepen collaboration in medical IPC innovation, accelerate the international adoption of smart healthcare solutions, and help create safer, more efficient, and more intelligent surgical environments worldwide.
