Belgium is the heart of the EU market, just like Taiwan is the cornerstone of the APAC market. For the Taiwanese tech companies that are looking into expanding in the EU-27 of 450 million population, Belgium represents with its geographical advantages, its multilingual populations of talents and its high-tech industries a must-go as a strategic first step.
This 2-hour session will bring a panel of Belgian innovative tech companies to present a series of innovative technologies from the southern Belgian region of Wallonia, together with prominent tech entrepreneurs from Taiwan supported by the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
This session will have three parts:
1- Pitches by Belgian and Taiwanese innovative tech SME’s (5 from each country, altogether 10)
2- Keynote Speech : Invite the Director of Technical Partnerships and Networks of Innovation (AWEX) and the CEO of the industry accelerator WSL to share Belgium's scientific and technological innovation development and corporate landing guidance resources.
3- Panel Discussion: experts from Taiwan and Belgium innovation ecosystems will discuss the cooperation plan of the Taiwan-Belgium SMEs innovation ecosystem, promote bilateral innovation exchanges and expand European business opportunities.
