Government in a New Era: Financial Deregulation and Capital Market Revival Movement

Breakthrough Forum 2020:Government in a New Era: Financial Deregulation and Capital Market Revival Movement

Why did Taiwanese startups flee the foreign market? How difficult is it to go public in Taiwan? How can small and medium-sized enterprises rise again in the post-pandemic era?

In order to encourage Taiwan’s local startups and create unicorn companies, the government has introduced polices to optimize the investment environment for new ventures, hoping to build Taiwan into a hub for new venture capital in Asia and nurture unicorn start-ups such as Gogoro and Appier.

However, a large number of startups plan to go public, still targeting the NASDAQ in the United States, Hong Kong, and even Singapore. The government’s proposal of adding “over the counter” e-commerce categories and multiple listing conditions has still failed to attract local startups to list in Taiwan.

What are the difficulties that small and medium-sized companies encounter in the capital markets? Does the existing system governing initial public offerings need to be changed? How can we retain Taiwan’s small and medium-sized enterprises? Join us for a discussion!
