TAIWAN INDUSTRY FUNDING

Taiwan’s industrial miracle is an outcome of the well-designed industrial policies, which include the funding to foster the technological progress. Most of the funds accessible to the TLEOSIA partners are organized under A+ scheme.

The purpose of this scheme is to create the infrastructures to engage in innovation, R&D, and forward- looking strategies. It encourages adopting a global view in establishing international strategic innovation partnerships, to drive the development of the entire industrial chain, create added value, and expand the industry’s international business opportunities. Our international partners can benefit from A+ scheme in combination with EU funds (Horizon Europe, Eureka), as well as, through a direct cooperation with local companies for a purpose of technology or product development.

 
START-UP SUPPORT

The robustness of the New Space Industry is partially a of its fragmented nature. Many novel technologies were introduced by small and micro entities, often in the stage of start-ups. Since the large proportion of the Taiwanese economy consists of SME, TLEOSIA stress the importance of the local start-up scene to create the future industrial chain. One special aspect about Taiwan's startup ecosystem is government involvement. Growth in recent years can be attributed to the Taiwanese government’s investment and efforts in numerous initiatives like startup hubs, subsidies, startup support programs, and strengthening the startup ecosystem. What is crucial for our foreign partners, the scene is strongly supported by the mature manufacturing industries, especially in electronics and IT. Also, there are numerous incentives tailored for foreign talents to establish their start-up HQ in Taiwan.
