廣受各界期待、由 AppWorks (之初加速器) 主辦的 AppWorks Demo Day #24 + Wistron Demo Day #2,在今日 (7/14) 於台北正式登場,有 13 支來自 AppWorks Accelerator #24、7 支來自 Wistron Accelerator #2,共 20 支新創團隊輪番登場,展現過去 4 個多月的加速成果。 過往 12 年以來,每年舉辦兩次的 AppWorks Demo Day,已成為大東南亞 (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。受到疫情影響,AppWorks Accelerator #24 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 6 月底,已舉辦國際線上版本,展示以國際市場為目標的新創。 本次 Demo Day 實體版,改為邀請制進行入場人數控管。AppWorks 總共邀請超過 300 位來自創投、企業領袖、企業創投、成功新創、媒體以及其他相關單位的代表蒞臨,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:「AppWorks 的北極星一直沒有改變,透過幫助優秀的創業者,掌握巨型典範轉移所帶來的顛覆機會,我們努力最大化對台灣以及整個大東南亞區,乃至於 Web3 世界的影響。儘管近期市場波盪,我們仍持續看好三大板塊位移,也就是 AI、Blockchain、Southeast Asia (ABS) 長期所能帶來的改變。以 Web3 為例,歷經數次的牛市、熊市循環,區塊鏈產業與幾年前相比,基礎建設已經成熟許多,公鏈、錢包等工具普及,也累積更多使用者。進入緊縮週期,競爭減少、市場秩序提升,創業者可以更專心嘗試,找到更強的 Product Market Fit,在涵蓋 NFT / GameFi / DAO 等細分領域,將區塊鏈去中心化、無需許可 (Permissionless)、無需既有信任基礎 (Trustless) 以及透明化的特質,更落實於人們的日常生活。」 AppWorks Accelerator #24 共 13 支團隊登場 從加入 AppWorks Accelerator #24 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 3 月開始加速的 AppWorks Accelerator #24,共招募 24 支新創,其中包括 12 組 Web3 團隊、12 組 AI … read more
