Taiwan’s start-up sector has continued to expand in scale and investment, while export performance has also improved significantly, the ministry said in the white paper. Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs Ho Chin-tsang, fifth left, attends a news conference in Taipei yesterday about a white paper on start-up development in Taiwan. Taiwan’s export orders totaled US$743.73 billion last year, leaving substantial opportunities for start-ups, particularly in the US, Lee said. Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, North America and Europe would also remain key regions for the government’s promotion of start-up exports, he said. By sector, local start-ups are shifting their focus to the green transformation and digital applications from hardware manufacturing, Ho said.
