TSS Hits RISE in Hong Kong with Taiwan’s Ace Startup Teams Focused on AI, FinTech, and Hardware

This weekend, Taiwan Startup Stadium (TSS) is leading five startup teams to RISE in Hong Kong. Following Collision in Toronto and Techsauce in Thailand, it is the third overseas conference they participate in with their batch in 2019.

This three-day conference begins on July 8 and is expected to attract more than 25,000 attendees from 100+ countries, including 1,000+ startups and 500+ world-class speakers.

The line-up of teams for this event was selected from a pool of 50 earlier in April, during the 8th Rock the Mic pitch competition. They were evaluated based on various criteria, including market potential and demonstrable traction.

According to TSS, the chosen five teams, focused on AI, FinTech, and hardware, “have shown their capabilities and potentials in seeing the needs of rapid development and fulfilling the increasing demand of these booming industries in Hong Kong.”
