OutReach – 14 October 2021 -
Venture capital firm 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups), is holding the
inaugural digital
demo day of 500 Global Accelerator Taiwan with TTA. On October 22, 20
startups in the first batch will present their solutions in a range of sectors,
including healthcare, tourism, and edtech to an audience of investors and tech
ecosystem stakeholders. The cohort brings a heavy emphasis on harnessing Big
Data and Artificial Intelligence to streamline business processes.
The partnership
with MoST and TTA represents 500 Global’s continued support of Taiwan’s mission
to establish itself as a global hub for tech innovation.
“We are proud to
see how much the startups have grown in a short period of time. With this first
batch, we see Taiwan’s startup ecosystem benefiting from 500 Global’s expertise
and resources,” says Andrea T. J. Hsu, Director General, Department of
Academia-Industry Collaboration and Science Park Affairs, Ministry of Science
and Technology (MoST).
The eight-week
accelerator program received close to 200 applications, before narrowing it
down to 13 Taiwanese and 7 international startups. The founders come from
Taiwan, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, the United States, Indonesia, Guatemala
and Malaysia. The program is designed to accelerate early-stage, tech-enabled
startups looking to expand to Taiwan and the region. The startups received
coaching from 500 Global’s network of mentors, and underwent rigorous training
in growth fundamentals, sales and marketing best practices, and preparation for
capital growth.
“We believe
Taiwan is a growing hub of talent, innovation, and opportunity. This
accelerator shows that by providing dedicated support and resources, we can
help startups think and scale globally. Through this program, we have seen
tremendous growth and hunger from founders, and this inspires us to further
build the community within Taiwan and cement our commitment to growing an
ecosystem in Taiwan,” said Carrie Liauw, Regional Director of 500 Global’s APAC
programs.
Demo Day will
