I. Preface

In order to encourage the development of innovative

entrepreneurship and to create an atmosphere of innovative

entrepreneurship of our nation, the government of the Republic of China

has spared no effort to give impetus to a variety of measures and bills to

provide startups with the required services, such as office space, R&D

technology and professional equipment, business management coaching,

capital planning and financial control, entrepreneurial knowledge and

ability development to assist enterprises or institutions (teams) in the

private sector in engaging in startup related activities.

Noting the development of global entrepreneurial settlements, in

addition to the well-known Silicon Valley in the United States, other

startup clusters in Singapore, South Korea and the United Kingdom have

also been formed in succession. In response to the mission-oriented

policy of " Asia Silicon Valley Development Agency (ASVDA) ", and to

further encourage domestic and overseas venture capital investment, the

Small & Medium Enterprise Administration, MOEA has set up an

entrepreneurial settlement on an international scale - the “Linkou Startup

Terrace) toward the target of " Create a global brand of entrepreneurial

settlement; Establish an international channel for innovation incubation",

so as to put together the requisite resources and professional

assistance/guidance for industrial development, market promotion,

venture capital investment and entrepreneurship. As well as focusing on

"international", "innovative" and "clustering" as the very core axes, we

use every means to lure international startups to harmonize with the local

industrial supply chains to spark interests and cooperation between the

high-caliber talents from both Taiwan and the international community.

Through international exchanges, those high-caliber talents will be able to

boost the digital economy and investment environments. Under such

policies, we shall seek international startups with potential and make

Taiwan a key Asian innovation entrepreneurship service provider.

Through the cross-regional teamwork, we connect the benefits of locality,

internationality and the future.

In response to the policy of international startup campus development,
