Startup Demo Day
The iCAN (Integrated Cross-campus Accelerator Network, iCAN) program of
the Ministry of Science and Technology works with the Asian Science Park
Association (ASPA) and hosts a startup matching fair during ASPA’s annual
conference in November. Top 10 teams of the iCAN were selected to release
their R&D knowhow and seek potential ties with domestic as well as foreign VC
counterparts.
Purpose of iCAN is to vitalize R&D outcomes at universities into market
applications, where the Center of Industry Accelerator and Patent Strategy
(IAPS) of National Chiao Tung University is outsourced to perform relevant
acceleration affairs. 21 teams were selected by iCAN this year and underwent
intensive coaching and financial supports, in an eye to bridge up with market
surroundings. 10 teams will be selected again in final term to feed with financial
acceleration, marketing strategic supports, VC matching, and localization
assistances.
