On the look-out for successful Taiwanese technology scale-ups, the British Office in Taipei today announced its Tech Rocketship Awards in Taiwan.
The UK Tech Rocketship Awards are open to established Taiwanese scale-ups who offer innovative, technology-led solutions across a wide spectrum of technologies, have been trading for over 2 years and are looking to internationalise.
The 'Awards' will help 6 winners gain exposure, expand their global networks and expedite the set-up of their UK operations through a paid-for, curated trip to the UK during London Tech Week in June 2020.
So far, over 1,700 companies from Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea have participated in the UK's Tech Rocketship programme, and this year the awards will be open to Taiwanese businesses for the first time.
Catherine Nettleton, British Representative in Taipei said:
"The UK tech eco-system is going from strength to strength, growing 2.6 times faster than the wider economy. It's the perfect place for determined and ambitious tech companies to grow globally.
We're already seeing a strong increase in the number of innovative technology companies taking advantage of what the UK has to offer through expansion, enjoying the lowest corporate tax rates in G20.
I'm particularly excited about our Tech Rocketship Awards taking place in Taiwan - they are an excellent platform for companies to grow internationally and I encourage all Taiwanese tech companies with global ambitions to submit an application."
The UK Tech Rocketship Awards categories in Taiwan are:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Data
- Tech for an Ageing Society (Life Sciences)
- Future Mobility
The deadline for submission of applications is 13th April 2020. Full details about the competition, including terms and conditions are on the UK Tech Rocketship Awards website. Winners will be announced in May 2020.
