Startup@Taipei

The Taipei City Government Department of Economic Development launched the Global Pass program from 2024 to strengthen international connections for Taipei-based enterprises.
This program supports companies in entering overseas co-working spaces for short-term business development, while also enabling them to engage with startup communities abroad, interact with investors and partners, and better understand local market needs. By doing so, enterprises can expand their global networks and accelerate international market growth.
