Taiwan’s 10 coolest technology startups unveiled by MOST

Taiwan’s 10 coolest tech startups for 2020 were unveiled March 26 by the Ministry of Science and Technology as part of government efforts to promote the country as a global hub of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Selected from a 2,620-strong field after three rounds of assessment, the teams produced submissions addressing a variety of challenges and problems via advanced approaches and processes in fields like artificial intelligence, biomedicine cybersecurity, Internet of Things, smart health care and virtual reality.

According to the MOST, the teams are Atgenomix, Beseye, Deep01, Heroic Faith, IVD R.E.D, LumiStar Biotechnology, Nextdrive, Osense Technology, Relajet and TMY Technology. The standouts include Beseye for an AI-based video analysis platform reducing the risk of falls for seniors; LumiStar Biotechnology for a range of protein-based indicators enabling accurate cellular measurement; and Osense for a 5G-powered smart baseball stadium app integrating online to offline services.

MOST Minister Chen Liang-gee said the teams are worthy winners and demonstrate the power of Taiwan’s can-do spirit. The ministry will continue encouraging the younger generations to identify and convert emerging opportunities into viable business ventures, he added.

Launched in 2017, the annual hunt for Taiwan’s most promising startups is overseen by Taiwan Tech Arena—a Taipei City-based incubation hub supported by the MOST. This year, TTA partnered with 20 homegrown startup ecosystem partners such as Chunghwa Telecom 5G Accelerator, Digital Times, Garage Plus, Microsoft Accelerator, PwC Scale-up Accelerator and Qualcomm Taiwan Innovation Competition.
