The 2019 Taiwan Startup Ecosystem Survey was conducted jointly by PwC Taiwan and the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research. It builds on our 2018 study of the evolving start-up sector and its characteristics.
The latest survey takes a closer look at some important start-up topics, such as fostering entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial skills, serial entrepreneurship, international market expansion and policy support.
International expansion in particular is a major challenge for any start-up, and the 2019 survey explores how Taiwanese start-ups deal with the various challenges and opportunities posed by internationalisation.
Another key issue is the availability of support resources for start-ups, and our study also takes an in-depth survey of local incubation organisations and assesses how they support the development of start-ups in Taiwan.
An English summary of the key findings from the original Chinese survey report is available below. We hope you will find it useful and insightful.
