Passing on the experience accumulated by National Taiwan University graduates; NTU alumni turn out to be even better at entrepreneurship than they are at studying 台大人經驗傳承 創業比讀書還行
Over the last couple of years, a number of new organizations and events have been set up in Taiwan that are intended to help entrepreneurs start new businesses; these organizations and events include appWorks, CyberAgent, TMI, Startup Labs, and the NTU Start-up Alliance. Taiwan is also seeing the emergence of a growing number of online innovation teams. There is widespread anticipation that these new developments may help to bring about a qualitative transformation, stimulating the creation of more new software and Internet-related firms.
這一、兩年間，台灣陸續有了appWorks、CyberAgent、TMI以及Startup Labs、台大創聯會等協助創業的單位出現後，也出現越來越多的網路新創團隊，能不能進一步產生質變，創造更多軟體與網路相關產業的興起，是相當令人期待的。
The first Startup Labs to be held in Taiwan received sponsorship from leading software companies Microsoft and Google. Volker Heistermann, CEO of Yushan Ventures, is confident that, given Taiwan’s outstanding technology capabilities, Taiwan has the potential to establish itself as “Asia’s Silicon Valley.” He says that their motivation for bringing Startup Weekend and Startup Labs to Taiwan is to help create a good environment for people who want to start their own business.
