Taiwan
is situated in a strategic location amongst the new and expanding
markets in Europe, America, and Asia Pacific. Considering
that Taiwan already acts as an important regional focus for
industrial production, technological development, human resources,
and the flow of capital across borders as globalization continues,
how can the country strengthen its own ability to compete and
become the region’s center for economic development? How
can Taiwan serve as the leader for creating a cohesive development
strategy in the midst of regional and urban economic competition?
How can Taiwan foster the best environment for leaders to integrate
industrial economic resources in Asia Pacific region?
Finally, in a future of limitless possibilities, how can entrepreneurs
appraise their resources, understand the global environment,
and gain from new business plans while also keeping up with
new developments?
Asia Pacific Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Conference was
first established in Taiwan in 2003; its invitation list includes
internationally recognized entrepreneurs with a multitude of
backgrounds who join accomplished enterprise leaders and future
recruits from the Asia Pacific region. This diverse participation
facilitates the exchange of crucial information and ideas about
technology establishment and start-up company development.
The honorary guests and speakers have all been experts and skilled
leaders in their respective fields, with backgrounds in technology
innovation, start-up investment, and entrepreneurship.
