AppWorks之初加速器主辦的AppWorks Demo Day #28與協辦的Wistron Demo Day #6今日在台北連袂登場，公開共 17 組新創團隊，分享他們如何協助大東南亞的企業實現「AI 轉型」，銜接社群銷售與線下通路物流，從中更孕育出亮眼的環保永續的品牌，而區塊鏈與AI的新創，則是以新技術優化AI模型，讓Z世代社交軟體更能兼具隱私保護與真人互動率。

敲開孤獨的資訊繭房：媒合Life Coach，用AI開話題提升互動又保護隱私

在電影「雲端情人」已被實現的2024年，「AI人性化互動」被廣泛應用的同時，現實生活中的人們，在網路互動還追求些什麼？即便有AI的協助，總是要有真實的人生體驗與故事，才有機會碰撞出新的火花。在新冠疫情期間誕生的人脈聯繫平台ADPList，創辦人Felix Lee(李政德)最初只是為那些在疫情期間失業的人提供公益服務，創建了谷歌表單讓求職人們填寫信息，再由Felix幫助將信息分享給招聘人員，這服務迅速累積超過2,000份個人資料與熱烈反響，並累積超過166萬小時的療程諮詢。不同於LinkedIn以展示履歷求職的目的，許多人們透過ADPList建立了直接聯繫，除了職涯以外，也貢獻彼此的生活建議和人生經驗指導。ADPList已累積超過30萬活躍會員以及來自Netflix, Airbnb, Google等公司的2.5萬名顧問導師，用戶留存率超過60%，並獲得紅杉創投的投資。

自2020年以來的多項調查顯示，79%的Z世代在生活中感到孤獨和情感孤立，雖然有曾出不窮的社交媒體來展現完美的自己，然而人際關係的困難、職業挫折、對外貌缺乏自信等話題，在現實生活中不一定能與朋友和家人分享求助，為許多人造成了巨大的焦慮和社交壓力。以區塊鏈技術保障隱私並提高帳號可信度的匿名交友軟體XO，是一款結合Tinder + Instagram功能的Web3 DApp，則更進一步洞見Z世代的社交困境，讓使用者可以保持匿名抒發的同時，透過AI創造更有互動話題性的生成式對話，引導社交阿宅們與他人溝通，促進情感聯繫和建立同理心。XO的下載量已破150萬，每月的活躍用戶超越10萬人，每月成功配對已超過100萬次，每日鏈上紀錄超過80萬次，平台的ARPPU(Average Revenue Per Paying User)是社交軟體巨頭Bumble的1.6倍。XO已獲日本樂天投資，並與日本知名的公有鏈Astar Chain、美國Cyber鏈策略合作進軍日本市場及國際市場。

台灣市場的28倍! 通路社群銷售成東南亞顯學 越南誕生出色的永續品牌

社群數位行銷、實體通路與物流配送大整合的主題，10年前曾在台灣颳起旋風，如今這股風潮蔓延至大東南亞，6.5億人口的市場中遍地開花，而當中誕生的潛在新創獨角獸，正看準這塊比台灣大28倍的市場，佈局社群銷售、實體通路與物流的科技服務，讓東南亞市場在這兩年動盪不安的全球局勢下，GDP仍有4.5-5%的成長。

其中，來自馬來西亞的Borong(馬來語：量販批發)，在B2B電商通路整合表現亮眼，創業至今7年，2023年的總交易額(GTV)已高達9.39億美元。創辦人Aizat Rahim年僅34歲，前2次創業項目獲得青睞且被併購，Borong 是他最新的創業項目。他自小仰慕美國NBA球員Kobe Bryant，「每一次都是全力以赴」的運動家精神，也一直體現在他的創業態度中，更因此獲得Y combinator、活水資本的賞識與投資，近期Borong更獲得馬來西亞政府的認證與支持，突顯公司的穩健性。目前Borong複合成長率(CAGR)來到162%，每月仍維持超過20%的增長，零售商重複購買率維持在75%的高水準， Aizat希望帶領Borong持續壯大，成為東南亞的Amazon，實現B2B的數位化連接，讓商業價值數位化，建立健康的全通路生態系。

此外，來自印尼的Orderfaz也同樣推出付費訂閱制的電商購物架站SaaS服務，幫助商家創建帶有結帳表單的登陸頁面，更協助商家整合管理來自社群媒體TikTok Shop與Tokopedia、Shopee、Lazada等巨頭電商平台的訂單，找出消費者「未清空」的購物車資料並發送通知，提高轉化率，並協助商家管理廣告投放與商品庫存資料。Orderfaz至今已滿1歲，每月營收逼近100萬美元，近期正準備拓展至馬來西亞。創辦人Reynaldi Gandawidjaja也是連續創業者，前1個創業題目受到知名企業青睞收購，Orderfaz是他的第二個創業題目，並獲知名創投1982 Ventures領投的種子前輪融資。 

正當多數新創在東南亞全通路電子商務沃土上大展拳腳時，越南也同時也綻放出以永續發展、環境友善為主題的品牌EQUO。EQUO以D2C和B2B兩種通路，提供100%無塑料吸管、餐具、餐盤和飲具，這些產品由甘蔗、椰子、咖啡和米等可降解的環保材料打造而成，以降低一次性塑料的污染問題。EQUO的創辦人Marina Tran-Vu是在加拿大長大的越南裔女性，在新冠疫情期間無意被一根植物吸管啟發，進而在2020年正式創立EQUO，目前每年營收已高達160萬美元，分銷至歐盟、加拿大、美國、越南、香港、新加坡在包括歐盟在內的18個以上的國家。Marina過往職涯經歷包含聯合利華、百加得、LG電子等跨國公司，並曾以EQUO創辦人身份，在美國實境秀「創業鯊魚幫(Shark Tank Vietnam)」中出鏡，她的創業努力不僅獲得印尼知名創投East Ventures以及美國知名加速器Techstars的青睞，並被SustainabilityX Magazine期刊評選入列為永續發展領域的全球50名女性之一，今年更成為卡地亞(Cartier)全球女性倡議計劃的獲獎者，是該計劃17年歷史上首位來自越南的得主。

之初加速器近50%團隊已實現上市櫃或完成A輪融資  殷實佈局大東南亞 

AppWorks董事長暨合夥人林之晨表示：「隨著第28屆團隊的加入，之初加速器14年來已經孕育了563家活躍創業團隊，其中3成為已成功募得A輪以上，也有近百家是營收超過兩億台幣、或成功IPO/IEO的大型科技企業，此外更包含近百家不募資、靠自有資金達到持續獲利的隱形冠軍組。這些多元新創組成完整的生態系，有大型企業提供場域、商機，由隱形冠軍提供獨特的解決方案，讓AW#28學弟妹，可以快速建立許多雙贏的合作機會。」

綜觀之初加速器第28屆，共有38個新創團隊，85位創業者來自東南亞、阿聯酋、芬蘭、韓國等17個不同國度，約8%的團隊在台灣設立辦公室，女性創業者佔比接近20%。AppWorks生態系讓台灣與東南亞的地緣經濟更緊密融合，把台灣成熟的電商通路整合策略經驗和專業人才，帶入東南亞各國，帶動這塊比台灣大28倍的市場版圖邁向下一個數位化里程碑，並為更多跨境商業合作奠定了堅實的基礎。AppWorks生態系至今已培育出1,746位創業者，創造了2.3萬個就業名額。新創團全體的總融資金額已達60億美元(4.7%YoY)，總估值達330億美元(4%YoY)，全體的總營業額成長至174億美元(17.9%YoY)，相較去年表現邁出亮眼的一大步。

先別檢討人類了！直接優化AI模型  讓監管機構秒懂技術數據 才是真王道

由AppWorks協助營運的緯創加速器(Wistron Accelerator)今年邁入第6屆，今年最受注目的焦點的則是AI模型的優化工具Etiq AI，兩位創辦人皆為女性，一位曾是對沖基金公司的會計稅務顧問，另一位則擁有超過10年的數據科學領域實作經驗。

近期頻繁發生的AI謬誤，讓大眾逐漸感知到，AI的預測表面上看似中立，但其訓練資料和模型卻存在諸多問題，有瑕疵的AI可能會產生不正確的預測，甚至是荒謬的回應。而Etiq AI的功能，即是提供API來優化AI決策模型，透過測試資料品質和模型效能，更靈活快速的偵測錯誤，讓企業內部的數據科學家們全方位掌握自己在AI模型中部署的指令。此外，Etiq AI視覺化的管理面板，也能有效幫助法務部門和業務團隊更清楚AI的決策過程，並從而做出讓監管機構更容易理解的說明文件，真正實現跨領域的透明化溝通。

緯創與之初合作10週年 孵化團隊展獲Viva Tech國際大獎 業務拓展至中東

緯創加速器目前累積孵化34個團隊，各別在9個不同國家地區設立總部(西班牙、英國、美國、南韓、日本、印度、香港與台灣)。緯創與AppWorks合作至今邁入第10年，共同見證台灣軟硬體整合跨入新世代，並為ICT產業生態系成長持續挹注新資源。雙方共同推動的緯創加速器已進入第3年，不少校友的近期發展也都繳出亮眼成績。

緯創加速器在在醫療與通訊資科技方面斬獲成就的校友中，有為5G/6G基地台晶片與衛星設計通訊晶片的Ranictek(繁晶科技)今年已可為客戶提供FPGA服務(Field Programmable Gate Array，現場可程式化邏輯閘陣列)，今年更在法國最大新創展Viva Tech從眾多國際團隊中脫穎而出，榮獲IC設計挑戰賽之優秀評審獎。而校友LongGood(龍骨王)則是開發了台灣第一個復健領域的軟體產品，運用體感動作與步態分析技術為復健產業數位轉型，目前在台灣已導入超過30家醫院以及破百間長照機構，並持續在日本、新加坡、泰國、與馬來西亞推廣。

在AI應用與區塊鏈技術方面，有台灣起家的AiPoint(臥龍智慧環境)，以AI技術幫助水資源回收及增能的管理方案，已獲台灣自來水股份有限公司青睞使用，臺北市政府自來水事業處也正與其研議導入系統，近期更有望將技術推進至沙烏地阿拉伯。而iCHASE(智逐科技)則是以AI技術管理家禽健康的管理平台，幫助提供家禽飼養場的效率和品質，近期已更進一步將業務拓展至東南亞、歐洲與北美。此外，以區塊鏈技術結合供應鏈金融的BSOS(灣谷科技)，則是和中國信託商業銀行合作結合SAP ERP系統，協助企業管理供應鏈營運資金，今年初更榮獲首屆台灣SAP新創加速器年度最佳解決方案獎。

之初加速器#29(AppWorks Accelerator)以及緯創加速器#7(Wistron Accelerator) 現正招募中，向AI、物聯網、雲端、資安、教育與醫療相關新創招手，入選新創將由緯創集團高階主管親自輔導，並提供新創PoC實驗場景、商模成長等集團資源，幫助新創大幅降低試錯成本。

JAKARTA, INDONESIA, March 07, 2024—Telkomsel, as a digital ecosystem enabler through Telkomsel Ventures, today announced a partnership to launch startup accelerator program TINC Batch #9 in collaboration with AppWorks, Greater Southeast Asia’s leading startup community.

The founders will also be invited to participate in AppWorks’ regional demo days in Taiwan and Singapore to gain additional exposure from prospective investors.

“As we open the doors to Batch #9 of TINC, themed around B2B Solutions & Emerging Technologies, we are excited to empower and drive forward the next wave of innovative solutions, particularly but not limited to those focused on AI, SaaS, digital marketing, and financial technologies. This accelerator program stands as a testament to our commitment to fostering growth, creating opportunities, and shaping the future of the industry. We eagerly anticipate the discoveries and advancements that will emerge from this cohort as they embark on this transformative journey. We also hope to see startups within this batch that can create compelling value and synergies with Telkomsel’s business units, fostering mutually beneficial relationships that drive innovation and elevate the industry as a whole,” said Mia Melinda, CEO, Telkomsel Ventures.

Our commitment to Indonesia began with an investment in 2018 and has since grown to a thriving founder community and investor network.

Featuring 26 Taiwanese and international teams, AW#27 demonstrated the potential of startups in Greater Southeast Asia to build products for global audiences.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, DECEMBER 13, 2023—AppWorks Accelerator today held its 27th demo day for batch #27 (AW#27) in tandem with Wistron Accelerator #5. The event featured 26 Taiwanese and international startups, including over 40% of teams led by serial founders, and 10 teams from Southeast Asia.

AW#27 includes startups led by 19 different nationalities, including founders from Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. The batch featured startups building solutions for AI digital marketing, the creator economy, ESG, Web3, and legal-tech. The event highlighted the attractiveness of the Taiwan market for international startups, with many teams hiring local Taiwanese engineers and digital economy experts to fuel their growth.

As Greater Southeast Asia’s largest accelerator programs, AppWorks holds its Demo Day twice a year, welcoming investors and business leaders seeking partnerships with carefully selected digital innovators from across the region and around the world. With the addition of AW#27, there are now 532 active startups and 1,662 founders in the community. The AppWorks community now accounts for US$16.2 billion in annual revenues, creating over 23,000 high quality jobs for the digital economy. Companies in the AppWorks ecosystem have raised a cumulative US$5.8 billion with a collective valuation of US$32.4 billion.

“With the inclusion of AW#27, the AppWorks ecosystem continues to grow and permeate outwards. Starting with our base in Taiwan and into the Greater Southeast Asia region, we are seeing the global relevance of startups founded in the region for markets around the world. Taiwan offers a strong pool of resources and talent for startups in Southeast Asia as well as mature markets to tap into advanced technology and niche talent,” said Jamie Lin, Chairman, AppWorks. “We are proud of the accomplishments of all AW#27 companies, demonstrating that companies can utilize Taiwan to build for the world.”

Accelerating Creativity Through Technology

AW#27 featured a number of companies utilizing technology to transform digital marketing and build brands for the creator economy. This includes SoMin.ai, founded by Dr. Aleks Farseev, who is utilizing AI to improve the accuracy of targeting advertising campaigns, with major customers such as Audi, P&G, and Dentsu Japan; and Storipress, a Taiwan-based all-in-one publishing platform that provides a unified workflow, automatic site updates, and AI assistance to help teams write in a coherent style. This platform helps businesses create articles 42% faster, with IDEO being one of its major customers.

As brands build for the digital era, the creator economy has taken center stage, with influencer marketing becoming an important tool for brands to engage with consumers in a more natural and organic way. CreatorDB, the brainchild of Clayton Jacob, is a one-stop platform for influencer marketing, helping brands discover and engage with influencers, conduct data analysis, and facilitate advertising placement. CreatorDB has helped many well-known global brands engage with influencers in the Asia market—including Surfshark, Notion, and Acer. Meanwhile, Taiwan-based VGV Media Asia is a creator economy platform that enables brands to co-create content with influencers. VGV has cooperated with over 600,000 influencers throughout Asia, coordinating campaigns on behalf of major brands like UNIQLO, Tripadvisor, and Pinkoi.

(12/13/2023) AppWorks（之初加速器）主辦的AppWorks Demo Day #27與協辦的Wistron Demo Day #5今日於台北連袂登場，來自星、越、菲、泰、美、日、韓等19個國家、共26組的國際新創團隊一起爭鳴。本次出場的連續創業者比例超過4成，許多國際團隊皆計劃在台落地招募人才，彰顯出台灣市場對國際創業者的吸引力。

AI融合行銷工具簡化工作流程   為人腦騰出更多時間發想創意

本次登台的AW#27共19組新創，當中有10組團隊來自東南亞國家。盤點本屆的創業題目，以AI數位行銷、網紅創作者經濟為熱點，另有ESG、Web3與法律科技等吸睛焦點。AppWorks董事長暨合夥人林之晨表示：「隨著AW#27的加入，AppWorks生態系持續成長並向外拓展。我們看到了在AppWorks在台灣與大東南亞地區的新創公司，展現出可進攻全球市場的潛力，而台灣為東南亞的新創公司與成熟市場，提供了豐富的先進技術資源和專業領域人才。」他進一步指出：「我們為所有AW#27的新創團隊的成就感到自豪，這些新創公司善用台灣的優勢打造面向世界的產品。」隨著AW#27加入，AppWorks生態系活躍新創來到532家、1,662位創業者。過去一年來，全體新創加總營業額達162億美元，創造2.3萬份工作機會；累積募資金額達58億美元，總估值則來到324億美元。

其中，來自俄國的台灣女婿法信夫(Prof. Aleks Farseev)打造的廣告投放平台SoMin.ai，聚焦社群媒體，由AI驅動分析內容素材與地域特性，提升定向廣告的精準度，獲得Audi、P&G和Dentsu日本電通等知名客戶的肯定。SoMin.ai的每月經常性收入(MRR)同比以2倍以上的速度快速增長，除了台灣以外，SoMin.ai也同時在新加坡、菲律賓、越南和英國擴大業務。

而除了數位廣告外，還有許多品牌及產業需要透過撰寫大量的文字篇章來與用戶溝通。Storipress即是為了服務以文字內容創作為主的產業而誕生的創新平台。Storipress的一站式平台能簡化品牌主的文字創作流程，不僅能根據目標客群的需求和品牌風格協助構思文章內容，還能依照不同社群媒體的格式，自動化調整文章內容並發布至相對應的媒體平台。使用Storipress的品牌主在生產文章的效率有效提升42%，目前月活用戶已破千，就連矽谷設計師嚮往的「終極聖殿」公司IDEO也是Storipress的忠實客戶。

銜接目標客群最後一哩：讓網紅直接成品牌紛絲，共創最具共鳴的影響力

看中網紅經濟的長遠發展，長住台灣的美籍創業者柯西杰Clayton Jacob建構了一站式的網紅搜尋、數據分析以及置入廣告的平台CreatorDB，主攻影音創作型態的Youtuber。CreatorDB強大的搜尋與分析能力，吸引想要打進亞洲市場的歐美品牌，包括Surfshark、Notion和Acer等知名品牌主與其攜手合作。CreatorDB自創業起的年增長率高達5倍，並在創業1年半後實現正向盈利，今年營收估計可達350萬美元，未來將持續打造CreatorDB成為網紅行銷的SaaS平台。

而台灣起家 VGV 圈粉行銷科技則是主打與品牌、網紅創作者共創內容的一站式策略網紅行銷服務。VGV 與超過 60 萬組來自台、新、馬、菲、日、香港的網紅合作，是 APAC 地區不容小覷的新興網紅行銷新創。由於VGV擅長與品牌主和創作者的雙邊溝通，因此共創的內容也特別能取得客群共鳴，並讓網紅創作者真正成為品牌大使，讓網紅行銷不再只是一次性業配，而是共生的長遠影響力。因為VGV在創造長遠影響力的優異能力，吸引了UNIQLO、Tripadvisor、Pinkoi，以及號稱「奶瓶界愛馬仕」的品牌 hegen 與之長期合作。VGV 表示，創立累計至今年已與 560 家品牌合作，預計未來每年的營收增長率將持續以 105％ 成長。

ESG新創開發市場新藍海    越南元宇宙展現破萬在線用戶的驚人佳績

PackAge+則是本屆團隊裡一支獨秀、以ESG為主題的環保科技社會企業，聚焦台灣網購及物流的一次性包裝浪費問題，目前已串聯多家電商與線下零售店家，使用循環包材以減少每年超過8千萬件的網購包裝垃圾，並建立了4,700個回收聚點，護國神山和全家皆是PackAge+的長期合作客戶。創辦人葉德偉表示：PackAge+正進一步與台灣的半導體和電子組裝產業洽談使用循環性包材，期待從上游著手，在3年內取代35%的一次性耗材，有效協助企業降低碳排，加速綠色轉型。

而來自越南的Mimiland在當地有「最頂級的Metaverse」美譽，產品上線3個月內即吸引超過12萬名月活用戶，明年的總用戶數預計將達1,000萬。相較於目前多數的Web3產品，Mimiland是全球第一個可支援超過1萬名在線用戶的元宇宙產品，並同時保護日本啤酒SAPPORO等超過2百萬個NFT資產。Mimiland的初心即在協助程式開發者進行多重應用程式的整合，不僅確保手機、筆電、桌機等不同設備的兼容性，並可相容於蘋果最新作業系統Vision OS，展現出Mimiland強大的空間運算實力。

緯創加速器 #5 推動高效PoC落地應用：5G晶片、智慧工廠、ESG媒材

緯創加速器(Wistron Accelerator #5)今年邁入第5屆，精選的團隊更加展現出亞太跨區整合能力，實現許多近未來可預期的市場應用場景。本次登台的繁晶科技是台灣的IC設計新創公司，主攻5G/6G基地台晶片及衛星通訊晶片，相容於5G開放式(O-RAN)基地台，可直接協助電信商解決架設5G基地台的高成本與高功耗的問題，預估能替手機和基地台節省30~60％的耗電，不僅可替電信業者節省1年約10億度的耗電，還能讓消費者的手機降低充電頻率，最佳情況只要2天充一次電即可。5G/6G技術是很多重要應用的基礎，像是ChatGPT、自駕車、電子商務、網路直播等，都需要5G以上的高速網路來提供應用服務。

而來自日本的的Thermalytica是由日本國家物質材料研究機構（NIMS）孵化出來的新創公司，以超低密度、極輕且高流動性的創新型結構，打造出高效的隔熱防火材料TIISA，其中的奈米級二氧化矽粒子可間隔大量空氣，成本效益是傳統材質的10倍以上，能明顯降低一般建物、工廠能耗的碳排，符合現行國際企業ESG規範的國際趨勢。Thermalytica目前正在日本搭建TIISA試產線，並計劃在未來5年間達到十噸的年產量，並拓展到台灣和其他東南亞市場。

此外，長年深耕影像處理技術的SkyREC，以AI優化分析能力，為實體零售商家提供更完善的零售數據分析和安防解決方案，不僅能助於改善商品陳列、庫存管理效能優化利潤，不同行業都能透過影像或資料分析，解決產業盲點與痛點，確保店內動線流暢與店面安全環境。目前IKEA、Timberland、The North Face等國際知名品牌都是SkyREC的合作客戶。

在智慧製造方面，本屆的MetAI宇見智能結合AI人工智慧與Metaverse元宇宙的兩大核心技術，解決在數位轉型中「資料」與「系統整合」的接合瓶頸，以「高度擬真模擬」以及「資料合成器」為製造產業提供能輕鬆導入的解決方案，加速推動製造業數位轉型。目前NVIDIA的Omniverse即是應用了MetAI的技術，真正實現智慧工廠的概念，不僅協助建構工業元宇宙，讓合作的工業夥伴可以輕鬆使用AI落地智慧製造的過程，並降低實體花費，成功為產業帶來極大的效益。

Wistron Accelerator #6 現正招募中，向AI、物聯網、雲端、資安、教育與醫療相關新創招手，入選新創將由緯創集團高階主管親自輔導，並提供新創PoC實驗場景、商模成長等集團資源，幫助新創大幅降低試錯成本。緯創集團與AppWorks攜手合作迄今已長達9年，雙方合作於2021年啟動Wistron Accelerator，由AppWorks協助營運。Wistron Accelerator迄今已遴選出31組團隊，累積許多亮眼的新創孵化經驗。
