3 “Start a Nest for Phoenixes, Start Businesses to Make Dreams Come True”
Committed to fostering industry innovation and transformation and attaining sustainable development, the HSPB regards “innovative concepts and innovative services” as its core value. As such, it is committed to building an exclusive platform for serving would-be business founders of the younger generation. After establishing the Young Entrepreneur’s Studio in the Hsinchu Park in 2015, the HSPB did the same for the Yilan Park in January 2019. Among others, this platform offers such resources and services as specialized consulting, matching of funding and technology, and all-inclusive secretarial services. The objective is to maximize the HSP’s cluster effect and craft a sustainable package of services for startups, thereby bridging the gap between IP and IPO. As of the end of 2019, a cumulative 196 R&D teams had gone on to become startups with assistance under this from-IP-to-IPO initiative. Of these, 166 are still in business and register combined paid-in capital of approximately US$129.82 million.
In 2019, the HSPB sought to accelerate industrial innovation and inspire more startups in the HSP through the following: holding fund-raising events, soliciting assistance of industry veterans, hosting lectures by prominent business founders, and organizing experience-sharing by existing startups. Separately, the HSPB headed a delegation of 11 local startups to Japan to promote international exchanges and bring them face to face with potential business partners.

To effectively meet every need of incoming teams, the HSPB always takes the initiative to identify problems and get them fixed in no time while doing its best to help nurture startups. The objective is to inspire a new army of business founders and thus help local high-tech industry reinvent itself. Thanks to the HSP’s incubation resources, counseling, and secretarial services, a good number of startups have indeed emerged. In the days ahead, the HSPB will work even harder to ensure the HSP’s sustainability as a venue conducive to startups as well as its standing as a bellwether for advancing innovation and starting businesses.
