2026 TiBOOST INNOVATION GROWTH PROGRAM - Forum & Final Award Ceremony / 【TiBOOST 創新大步計畫】 論壇暨決賽頒獎典禮
2026 TiBOOST INNOVATION GROWTH PROGRAM
Connecting Global Innovation, Mobilising Asian Capital
As the global economy and technology landscape undergo rapid transformation, AI is reshaping the way industries grow and capital is deployed.
TiBOOST Innovation Growth Program, part of Taiwan Weeks 2026, is built around industrial development and powered by both a forum and startup competition. Bringing together policy direction, investment momentum and innovation, the program is aligned with Taiwan’s Ten Major AI Infrastructure Projects and aims to create a platform that connects innovation with capital.
Through the forum, leading international innovators, investors and industry experts will share global trends and insights into emerging technologies, exploring how the power of capital markets can accelerate technology commercialisation and industrial transformation.
The competition will identify high-potential innovative companies from across Asia and around the world, further strengthening Taiwan’s role as a key hub for innovation and investment in Asia.
