TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media 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 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.

“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.
