Chung Yuan Christian University plans to lead delegation of Taiwanese startups 
eyeing Australian market


The Innovation & Incubation Center (IAIC), an arm of the Executive Operation 
Office for Industry-Academia Cooperation at Chung Yuan Christian University 
(CYCU) hosted the International Venture Capital Investment Match event on May 
27, 2019. Over 10 international venture capital (VC) companies attended the 
event at which they signed deals involving investment in the aggregate 
estimated at over US$2 million. With the support of IAIC, Micro PC, Genvolution 
Inc. and Bluebeard Studio established partnerships with international VC firms, 
including Australia's Gnew Pty Ltd and New Zealand's CKJ Trading Limited at the 
event. 

"Micro PC's technology that can reduce water pollution and eliminate plastic 
particles and Genvolution Inc.'s application for microbial decomposition of 
kitchen waste are the highlights of the event that appealed to participating 
Australian investors the most. In line with the Australian government's focus 
on challenges related to environmental protection, both companies can address 
some of the world's most pressing environmental issues," said James Huang , the 
representative from Gnew Pty Ltd. "In addition, Bluebeard Studio showcased its 
intelligent Internet of Things-based temperature-controlled cups and bowls, a 
concept that is seen as having great market potential as they can effectively 
address the challenge of keeping food warm during the Australian winter."

IAIC has been committed to assisting Taiwanese startups in receiving investment 
and establishing horizontal partnerships. During the event, Australian 
investors gained a better understanding of the strength behind many of Taiwan's 
startups. IAIC also plans to visit Australia along with a delegation of 
Taiwanese startups between June 16 and 22, 2019, during which the delegation 
will have the opportunity to engage in trade exchanges with local companies and 
gain a better understanding of the current entrepreneurial and investment 
environment in Australia, with the aim of helping Taiwanese startups expand 
into international markets.
