#AsiaRocks a Gateway for Startups to Enter Asian Markets

Taiwan Startup Stadium launched the first-ever #AsiaRocks event back in 2019 in Taiwan. #AsiaRocks aims to bring together prominent ecosystem builders across APAC to provide startups with a new gateway to Asian markets. Through the exhibition, keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, #AsiaRocks offers unique “cross-border, market-entry” content for the attendees. It also provides access to key players and resources from Asian markets, opportunities to dive deep into the different startup ecosystems, and a closer look into investment trends, government subsidy programs, and soft-landing services of these regions. In addition, the event attracted hundreds of attendees from across different industries.
