To accelerate the rapid integration of startups into international markets, the National Development Council (NDC) has launched the "Bridge plan," which plans to establish "Startup Island TAIWAN Hubs" in key overseas markets. These hubs will assist startups in connecting with local businesses, academic research institutions, talent, and funding initiatives driving the internationalization of the innovation ecosystem. In 2024, the first-ever overseas startup hub has been launched in Tokyo, Japan with plans to establish more hubs in other major startup markets such as Silicon Valley in the United States in the future.
