廣受各界期待、由 AppWorks (之初加速器) 主辦的 AppWorks Demo Day #25 + Wistron Demo Day #3,隨著台灣疫情趨緩、逐步解封、國門漸開之際,在今日 (12/15) 於台北登場,有 15 支來自 AppWorks Accelerator #25、5 支來自 Wistron Accelerator #3,共 20 支台灣及國際新創團隊輪番登場,展現過去 3 個多月的加速成果。 過往 12 年半來,每年舉辦兩次的 AppWorks Demo Day,是大東南亞 (東協 + 台灣) 新創圈的盛事之一。舉辦的主要目的,在於為每屆的 AppWorks Accelerator / Wistron Accelerator 團隊提供舞台,並促進新創社群的國際交流、投資、商務媒合,以及創造更多的可能性。AppWorks Demo Day #25 採取線下線上混合模式,讓不管是台灣或國際新創,能持續面向目標市場,呈現他們的產品、商業模式以及創業成果。除了今日登場的台灣實體版本,主要展示目標台灣市場的新創,AppWorks 另外在兩天前,已發佈國際線上版本,展示以國際市場為目標的新創。 本次 Demo Day 實體版為邀請制,超過 300 位來自創投、企業領袖、企業創投、成功新創、媒體代表蒞臨,與處在創新最前緣的創業者進行第一手交流,持續為大東南亞地區的創業生態系挹注能量、創造蓬勃發展。 AppWorks 自 2010 年啟動第一屆創業加速器以來,就持續積極與各方合作,累積更大的影響力,為創業者打造最佳的協助平台。AppWorks 董事長暨合夥人林之晨指出:「儘管今年以來資本進入緊縮循環,AppWorks 仍持續看好 ABS (AI / Blockchain / Southeast Asia) 三大典範轉移的長期顛覆,以及因此帶來的創業機會。以區塊鏈為例,近期許多交易所、儲蓄平台與對沖基金,因管理不當、人謀不臧而破產倒閉,但真正去中心化的 DeFi 等服務仍持續成長,足以證明長期板塊位移的巨大力量。優秀創業者抓住大勢,持續為世界帶來效率革新、賦能弱勢與企業治理的新模式,因此,與新創合作完全符合大企業推進 ESG 的目的,我預期下一階段將有更多企業投入。」 AppWorks 董事長暨合夥人林之晨 AppWorks Accelerator #25 共 15 支團隊登場 從加入 AppWorks Accelerator #25 的新創團隊身上,可看出 AppWorks Accelerator 持續吸引越來越多國際優秀創業團隊參加,繼續引領大東南亞地區創業生態前進。今年 9 月開始加速的 AppWorks Accelerator #25,共招募 31 支新創,其中包括 12 支 Web3 新創、10 支 AI / IoT 新創、以及 9 支新創深耕東南亞的數位經濟。這些新創由 76 位創業者組成,分別來自 15 … read more
