AI × Capital × Innovation
As the global economy and technological innovation restructure at speed, AI is redefining how industries grow and how capital is deployed.
Taiwan Weeks 2026 TiBOOST Innovation Growth Program centers on industrial development, pairing a forum with a competition to connect policy direction, capital momentum, and innovative energy. The goal is an Asian innovation financing platform that delivers on Taiwan's Ten AI Initiatives Promotion Plan, and a stronger link between Taiwan's capital market and the international innovation ecosystem. The forum focuses on key global industry trends and frontier technologies, examining how venture capital and public markets can accelerate commercialization and industrial upgrading. The competition final brings together high-potential teams from Asia and beyond, advancing Taiwan as a major hub for innovation and capital in the region.
