 Historically, Taiwan has been a nation of innovation; many of the world’s manufactured goods were produced here before China opened its doors to the global economy. With one of the most startup-friendly business environments, strong tech talent, and some of the most rigorous intellectual property protection laws in the world, Taiwan’s startup ecosystem is well positioned for success—despite current geopolitical tensions.

 Taiwan is home to many large and impressive tech companies, such as Foxconn and Asus, giving the ecosystem a unique edge in hardware-related ventures. The most strategic Taiwanese corporation is TSMC, one of the world's most valuable semiconductor companies. TSMC is a lesson to all countries facing geopolitical challenges: when a country manages to build a company of this scale, it adds an additional layer of strategic strength and forges alliances critical for its future prosperity. The presence of TSMC has also encouraged the emergence of more hardware startups, showcasing the impact of industry specialization on a startup ecosystem's global success. 

 Building on this industrial foundation, Taiwan has also made significant progress in developing its digital economy and is now a global leader in high-tech industries. The government has planned a record-high budget for 2025, with major investments in digital infrastructure, including funding for cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and cybersecurity. These efforts build on the success of the "Digital Nation & Innovative Economy Development Program (DIGI+)," launched in 2016 to support innovation and transform Taiwan into a “smart island.” Under this plan, Taiwan is focusing on expanding high-speed internet and advanced networks, developing next-generation semiconductors, and leveraging AI and cloud computing to help businesses grow. The country is also investing in satellite communications to enhance national connectivity. 

 As Taiwan scales its technological capabilities, the government is also working to translate innovation into entrepreneurship. Aligned with the historic success of Taiwan’s global companies, the country’s growing focus on startups is showing positive results. Various leading government organizations, such as [Taiwan Tech Arena](http://taiwanarena.tech/), are investing heavily in building and promoting the country’s startup ecosystem. Initiatives such as the Employment Gold Card and the Entrepreneur Visa are designed to attract foreign talent. Meanwhile, branding efforts like Startup Island TAIWAN have successfully raised international awareness of Taiwan’s startup scene. The program's success even led the National Development Council to launch the Next Big Startup Initiative, aimed at spotlighting standout startups endorsed by both community and industry experts. 

 This growing visibility has gone hand in hand with an outward-looking mindset among Taiwanese entrepreneurs. Given the country’s relatively small domestic market, Taiwanese startups are globally oriented from the outset—unlike those in larger countries such as India or China. This international focus has contributed to success stories like Appier, Taiwan’s first digital unicorn and first startup to exit via IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Since then, more unicorns have emerged, including Gogoro, Just Kitchen, and 91App. The local tech scene is further bolstered by the presence of global giants like Google and Microsoft, both of which have established data and research centers in Taiwan. Unsurprisingly, [Computex](https://www.computextaipei.com.tw/en/index.html), one of the world’s largest computer and technology expos, is hosted annually in Taipei. 

 As the government continues implementing policies to foster entrepreneurship, we hope to see more individuals choosing the path of innovation over the safety of guaranteed employment—and embracing failure as a necessary step toward success. It is also a positive sign of Taiwan’s appeal that leading tech figures like YouTube co-founder Steve Chen and tech thought leader Ben Thompson of Stratechery are based in Taiwan.
