Four core
Taizhiyun AI Supercomputing Accelerator provides top-tier AI computing resources and technical expertise to help startups overcome technological bottlenecks. With its unique AI Innovation Consortium model, it collaborates with AI startups to explore the infinite possibilities of AI applications. It also pioneered a computing power buyback mechanism for invested AI startups, thereby establishing transparent and real-time post-investment management and support.
By leveraging the industry resources and extensive networks of our three partners, we can help AI startups find more potential customers both domestically and internationally, expand their markets, and enhance their corporate value and industry influence.
The professional team at PricewaterhouseCoopers assists startups in establishing a robust accounting system and internal control framework, further strengthening corporate governance and laying the foundation for sustainable development.
By leveraging the fundraising capabilities of the Emerging Stock Market (ESM), and combining resources such as the AI computing power pool of Taiwan Intelligent Cloud, government investment projects worth tens of billions of NT dollars, venture capital partners, and venture capital (CVC) funds from listed companies, the ESM will provide funding for selected companies and plan for their listing and listing on the ESM, helping them connect with the capital market and enhance their market competitiveness.
