>>My Taiwan Journey: From Germany to Silicon Valley to Asia's Innovation Hub - with a Supply Chain<< When I left Silicon Valley for Taiwan in 2011, I was stepping into the unknown. Little did I know that this island nation would become not just my new home, but a launchpad for innovation that would reshape my career and outlook on the global tech landscape. Taiwan's unique position in the tech world fascinated me from the start. It's a place where cutting-edge semiconductor technology meets a burgeoning startup ecosystem, creating a perfect storm of innovation. The blend of Eastern and Western business practices here opens up possibilities that are hard to find anywhere else in the world. My journey has been transformative. Co-founding Mosaic Venture Lab has allowed me to bridge the gap between Taiwan's technological prowess and global markets. I've had the privilege of working with some of the brightest minds in tech and automotive incl. Volker Kaese, Jürgen Bilo, Khoo Yin Le (Wilson), and Bruce Bateman, from local talents to international giants. The excitement of German car manufacturers like AUDI AG, Continental, and BMW Group about Taiwan's tech scene is just one example of the global impact this island is making. What strikes me most about Taiwan is not just its technological capabilities, but the spirit of collaboration and innovation that permeates every aspect of business here. It's a place where ideas flourish, where partnerships are forged easily, and where the next big technological leap always seems just around the corner. For those in tech looking for new horizons, Taiwan offers something truly special. It's not just about business opportunities – it's about being part of an AI ecosystem that's shaping the future of global technology. My experience here has changed my life, and I'm excited to share more about this journey in the podcast below. If you're curious about how Taiwan is becoming a global hotspot for innovation, or how you can be part of this exciting movement, I invite you to listen to my conversation with Meet Global by Business Next Media. Let's connect and explore how we can push the boundaries of what's possible in tech together.

The total economic output of the GBA exceeded 14 trillion RMB (about 1.97 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2023, according to data from the Guangdong Provincial Office of the Leading Group for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. This marks a new and higher level in terms of economic aggregate, after the region's economy surpassed the thresholds of 12 trillion RMB and 13 trillion RMB in 2021 and 2022 respectively, solidifying its position as the most dynamic growth engine in the world. With less than 0.6% of the country's total area, the GBA generated approximately one-ninth of China's GDP. On a global scale, if the GBA is viewed as a single economic entity, its GDP not only surpasses that of the Republic of Korea and Australia but also keeps up with that of Italy. Zhu Wei, executive deputy director of the GBA office in Guangdong, said the total economic output of the GBA was 10.8 trillion RMB in 2018, and the past five years witnessed an increase of 3.2 trillion RMB. Meanwhile, the GBA has seen an improved scientific and technological innovation capacity. It currently boasts more than 750,000 national high-tech enterprises and is home to a batch of leading high-tech companies, such as Huawei, Tencent, BYD, Midea Group and Gree. The Global Innovation Index (#GII) 2023 published by the World Intellectual Property Organization ranked the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou science and technology cluster the second for four consecutive years. Five years into the implementation of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the transportation network has also been improved, along with the construction of GBA on Rail. So far, the "one-hour living circle" has taken shape among major cities in the GBA. In addition, the airport cluster of the GBA has witnessed an annual passenger throughput of more than 280 million, and the annual handling capacity of its port cluster has reached over 85 million TEU of containers. The network of shipping routes has also covered major cities and trading ports worldwide. Today marked the opening of the 3rd runway of Hong Kong International Airport. How does the integration of GBA impact the Hong Kong real estate market? Follow me and I'll share in the next post. #GBA #GreaterBayArea #HongKong #Macau #China #RealEstateMarket WOW IMPACT GROUP ｜ 風行集團 Jason P Jordan Vanessa Saunders Greg Solomon Dick Lee Luca Veronesi Lubomir Andrasik Peter Yuen

Is Foreign Direct Investment into Vietnam creating a stronger market for foreign brands? 📈 Over the past 35 years cumulative FDI surged from USD 2 million in 1988 to USD $24 billion by 2022. 💸FDI is vital to Vietnam's economy, contributing 19% of GDP and driving 70% of the country's exports. 💪FDI projects employ 35% of Vietnam's work force, particularly in manufacturing. 🎯 Key sectors in 2023 are manufacturing (USD 14.7 billion) & real estate (USD 3.36 billion). 🌏 Six Asian investors contribute approx 78.8% of FDI. With Singapore leading at 19.7%, followed by China & Japan at 14.5 % & 14.3% respectively. FEELING THE EFFECTS OF FDI? 🛍️Rising consumption power - a stable political environment & strong growth forecasts create a rising demand for consumer goods. 🤳FDI driven tech adoption can fuel job creation & upskill the workforce. Digital transformation creates a young, tech savvy population making Vietnam a prime market for E-commerce growth (approx +78% YoY) & tech driven brands. 🤝 Advantageous trade agreements like CPTPP & EVFTA not only attract FDI but give foreign brands preferential access through lower trade tariffs & improved logistics. 👨‍💼 Vietnamese Government have pro FDI policies including tax incentives & initiated a series of regulatory reforms. What do you think? Do FDI trends make this a stronger consumer economy? Or are you sceptical of the wider impact? Sources: Vietnam Briefing, Vietonk Inc Consulting, Trading Economics, Vietnam Gov

South Korea's Ministry of SMEs and Startups Unveils Strategy to Boost Exports The Ministry of SMEs and Startups in South Korea has announced a new strategy to support the globalization of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and venture companies. The plan aims to nurture 1,000 innovative domestic companies into export entities and help 3,000 companies achieve exports of $1 million each by 2027. Top 5 highlights of the strategy: 1️⃣ Expanding export support for tech service companies to 15% by 2030 2️⃣ Introducing an 'export doctor' system for tailored assistance throughout the export process 3️⃣ Establishing a scale-up program for rapidly growing export companies 4️⃣ Introducing a voucher exclusively for overseas expansion 5️⃣ Tapping into the potential of foreign students through the 'K-Export Warrior 1,000 Project' SMEs play a significant role in the South Korean economy, with sales 17.2 times and employment 5.1 times higher than the average industry. However, export numbers have remained relatively stagnant over the past decade, with approximately 94,000 companies engaging in yearly exports, hovering around $110 billion annually. The Ministry aims to address emerging demands by shifting focus from 'products' and 'exports' to 'technology' and 'overseas expansion.' The goal is to foster sustainable growth for South Korean SMEs and ventures on the global stage through collaborative efforts and adaptive support mechanisms.
