it's a leap toward the future.
As AI transforms industries, it’s now both a critical technology and a global competitive field. Taiwan’s startups must emphasize both hardware and AI software. Former Minister Chen suggested transitioning Taiwan’s tech from a semiconductor model to an “AI Foundry” integrating hardware and software. While Taiwan excels in chip manufacturing, it must enhance its “soft power” in AI to stay competitive by developing impactful AI applications across sectors.
"Taiwan's startups should look beyond the “small and beautiful” model, focusing on innovation and deep tech. To draw global investors, they need robust projects in areas like quantum computing, biotech, and hybrid GPU+NPU+CPU tech, strengthening R&D to boost international competitiveness.
Taiwanese startup founders should expand globally and tap broader markets, strengthening ties with the global innovation ecosystem to attract resources and talent. Participation in international exhibitions, tech forums, and collaboration with leading companies can boost Taiwan’s influence and openness to high-tech talent worldwide.
