It is imperative for Taiwan to constantly upgrade its startup ecosystem if it is to thrive in the digital economy era and transform successfully into an innovation-driven economy.
To this end, National Development Council has consulted local startup communities and discussed with various Government agencies so as to formulate the Action Plan for Enhancing Taiwan's Startup Ecosystem. The Plan was presented for further discussion in inter-ministerial meetings, and was approved by the Executive Yuan on February 22, 2018.
The Action Plan comprises five strategies and 40 measures which will be jointly promoted by 13 Government agencies. By pushing ahead this Action Plan, the Government would create a robust startup ecosystem in Taiwan, raising Taiwan's visibility internationally, and making Taiwan an Asia's startup nation.
Encouraging Government's procurement from startups, opening Government data to encourage startups to participate in public affairs, encouraging corporate-startup engagement through Government programs etc.
