About Us

To connect Taiwanese startups with the global market and drive international startup exchanges, the Small and Medium Enterprise and Startup Administration (SMESA) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has established startup bases in Taipei and Kaohsiung. The two clusters offer facilities such as startup offices, accommodation, and co-working spaces. It also invites shops, international accelerators, and incubators to set up operations here. By engaging neighboring industry supply chains and demo sites, we aim to make Startup Terrace the best launchpad for international startups in Taiwan.

Design Concept
Startup Terrace logo

The blue color representing Linkou stands for technology and innovation, symbolizing the Linkou park as a crucial hub for Taiwan’s startup industry.
The orange color representing Yawan signifies vitality and openness, reflecting the Yawan park’s potential for emerging industries.
The green color representing the Small and Medium Enterprise and Startup Administration (SMESA) embodies sustainability and shared prosperity, symbolizing the government’s commitment to promoting the sustainable development of the startup sector.

These three colors intertwine, not only representing the close collaboration between the three entities but also symbolizing the shared vision of a bright future built through joint efforts between the government and startups.

Moreover, these colors are reminiscent of the primary colors of light: blue, green, and red. Just as these colors combine to form a vibrant spectrum, the cooperation between the three parties will unleash endless possibilities, creating a brilliant future for Taiwan’s startup industry.
