In recent years, more and more universities have been promoting the cooperation between the industry and academic institutes. However, it is not that helpful in terms of industrial transformation in Taiwan. Only by being creative and startups can be helpful to the industry in Taiwan.
In addition to creativity, what's more important for startup runners is experience and funds. Now most young people and students in Taiwan are lack of funds because of various limitation on fundings. Oftentimes, those who are interested in launching businesses soon faced the challenge once started.
National Taiwan Normal University, the leader of Educational Universities in Taiwan, has changed into a Comprehensive University towards Trans-disciplinary Integrated University.
