To respond to the digital economy trend, the Taipei City Government actively engaged in planning how to use the creative digital technology to help vendors develop creative service models, and fostered the new startup business for its development. For example, the government built the “Taipei digiBlock” to establish the industrial chain for innovative villages, and cooperate with the leading graphics processing unit (GPU) technology manufacturer NVIDIA. The first “Virtual Reality Lab @ Taipei” was then established at the Neihu office of NVIDIA, and free basic training for professionals and virtual reality (VR) equipment are available to support the new startup business as a strong backup force. In future, the Taipei City Government will continue to pool more resources for the startups to expand a more diversified business, and search for more opportunities to match with the job seekers on behalf of the vendors. In addition, plenty of awards and resources with subsidies are also available to new startups so that they are encouraged to join the emerging technology domain for R&D. Hopefully, they can develop innovation applications and services, and keep moving on to enter into the international market.
