Global multi-stage venture capital firm 500 Global is set to kick off the 500 Global Taiwan Startup Program with TTA 2023 in partnership with Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA).
The program will welcome 20 local and international startups to a week-long in-person boot camp in Taipei, designed to grow tech startups through hands-on workshops and mentoring sessions led by 500 Global’s world-class mentors.
The program represents 500 Global’s commitment to providing continued support to startups and those looking to tap into the Taiwanese market.

In addition to the program, founders, key industry stakeholders, ecosystem partners, and corporate executives, as well as the press, are welcome to join the 500 Global in Taiwan: Go Global Showcase on Friday, July 28 at Taiwan Tech Arena in Taipei.
