論壇一:登高致遠–台灣數位中小企業與新創公司拓展全球市場的動能

超過159萬家的中小企業,是台灣經濟成長的主要引擎。在2021年,中小企業帶動台灣出口成長高達25%。而今年,更可望有近一半的企業會在數位化的驅動下有顯著成長。此外,採用數位技術使許多台灣公司能夠進一步開拓國際市場,尤其是亞太地區,不過,當中也將面臨許多挑戰。

論壇將聚焦中小企業與新創公司如何藉由數位科技拓展全球市場,講者將分享中小企業和新創公司在亞太地區尋求創新和擴大運營時所面臨的挑戰與其對應措施。而來自包括台灣在內的不同國家的 DPA 代表也將分享它們區域擴張的經驗,包括如何遵守政府法規、發掘新商機和如何克服障礙。

論壇二:乘風破浪 –亞太地區人工智慧浪潮的領航者

亞太地區擁有高端的創新生態系統,也是全球新興科技創業基地。台灣具備科技產業鏈中獨特的地位,在新興技術的應用上也享有優勢。

人工智慧(AI)近期急速發展,為台灣企業在亞太地區開發新型應用與拓展商機之上,創造出極佳的條件與成為亞太地區領導者的機遇。而中小企業若要突圍而出,關鍵在於需要先瞭解亞太地區的發展趨勢,以及各國政府的相關措施。

論壇中將分享一些亞太地區和台灣人工智慧的實例,主管機關也將分享他們如何創造有利人工智慧創新的環境。 

Digital Prosperity for Asia: Taiwan Chapter Launch | Amplifying Taiwan’s Digital Opportunity

30 November 2023, at Upgrade Conference Center (Dunnan Hall) / 升級會議中心 -- 敦南館 (Google Maps)

The Coalition for Digital Prosperity for Asia (DPA) is a growing alliance of innovative Asian digital companies promoting the democratization of digital technologies across all sectors. Our mission is to help digital SMEs understand Asia’s government and business landscape and advocate for their opportunities to expand and grow in new markets.   

Taiwan is home to one of the world’s most vibrant and internationally impactful digital innovation ecosystems, because of its massive footprint in the realm of hardware production, its large digital-native population, and its highly educated and driven workforce. Taiwanese startups and SMEs are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the newest technological developments and represent 99% of Taiwan’s enterprises.  

Recognizing the vibrancy of Taiwan’s startup and SME ecosystem, the DPA is launching its chapter in Taiwan this October. At our launch event, we hope to welcome Taiwanese SMEs and government representatives, to discuss how to ensure that Taiwanese companies can innovate, remain internationally competitive, and expand quickly by reaching new markets.

Panel 1 : Reaching Far and Growing Fast: Driving Taiwanese SME Expansion 

According to a recent survey, Taiwanese small businesses generated more than 10% of their revenue from online sales, demonstrating the vital importance of the digital space for Taiwanese SMEs. Taiwan’s 1.59 million small and medium enterprises are the dynamos powering its remarkable economic growth. In 2021, they drove the growth rate of Taiwanese exports to an amazing 25%, and this year, nearly half of them have forecasted significant growth driven by digitalization. Adopting digital technology has furthermore allowed many Taiwanese companies to penetrate international markets across the world, and especially in the Asia-Pacific region. However, key challenges remain to regional expansion.  

In this panel, DPA representatives from different countries including Taiwan will share knowledge on approaches to regional expansion, including how to engage with government regulations, tap new opportunities, and overcome key obstacles. 

Panel 2 : Riding APAC’s Artificial Intelligence Tsunami 

The Asia Pacific region is home to an unrivalled innovation ecosystem and is at the heart of emerging technology entrepreneurship across the world. As the nexus of key technology supply chains, SMEs in Singapore, Taiwan and across APAC are strategically positioned to take full advantage of new and growing technology use cases. Recent evolutions in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are now presenting APAC SMEs with the opportunity to take a regional lead in the race to develop new use cases and expand into new markets. Remaining informed about trends in the wider region, and in government regulation, will be key to equipping these digital companies to succeed.  

This panel will showcase use cases for AI among SMEs from Taiwan and Singapore, and allow government regulators from Singapore and Taiwan to discuss how they have created enabling environments for AI innovation.
