This year La French Tech Taiwan will connect its community with that of SEMI Taiwan, home of the most powerful growth-drivers and innovators behind Taiwan’s accomplishments in the field.

Aside from internal R&D, the global semiconductor industry is increasingly using M&A, corporate venturing and other external innovation approaches to access new technologies and accelerate innovation. In 2019, corporate-backed deals in semiconductors and chips startups represented 859 M USD of investment*.
Thanks to the SEMI yearly Innovation Program Community Event, selected startups will have a chance to identify new clients, partners, investors, and gain visibility. TSMC, Foxconn, Intel Capital, Mediatek and many more will be represented via corporate executives, investment professionals, and tech innovation VCs.

This private invitation-only event will also be a great time to sync up with La French Tech Taiwan and learn more about Innovation in Taiwan and how you can expand your activity across the APAC region.
