This year, Meet Taipei has partnered with the National Institutes of Applied Research’s FITI Program to launch the inaugural “Young Sparks – Student Startup Hub,” inviting innovative campus startups from across Taiwan to showcase their creativity and action on both exhibition and Demo Show stages.

The 11 selected teams span AI, Web3, digital communities, educational tech, health and medical tech, and manufacturing, reflecting Gen Z’s bold approach to real-world challenges.

“Young Sparks” is not just a stage for student entrepreneurs—it aims to create a clear path from campus to industry, connecting them with companies and investors.
