Major Programs for the Year
II. The Promoting Campus Entrepreneurship Integrated Program
As a model school in creative entrepreneurship designated by the Ministry of Education, NCTU has never spared efforts in promoting start-up businesses on campus by offering favorable conditions for start-up businesses, allowing the entrepreneurship to be passed on for several decades. By initiating the Promoting Campus Entrepreneurship Integrated Program, this Foundation allows NCTU alumni to assist campus entrepreneurship teams or students aspiring in starting up a business to fulfill their dreams. With the support being passing on from the older to the younger like a chemical reaction under positive influence, the campus is expected to see research results translated into business development.
Campus Entrepreneurship Seed Fund
Considering the fact that most of the start-up businesses on campus are formed by students who are less likely to be viewed positively by corporations or venture capital at the early stages and therefore would possibly lose the chance to commercialize their own innovation or new technology, this Foundation worked to found the Seed Fund with funds collected from enthusiastic alumni. It offers support to business start-up teams in the expectation of more NCTU-based entrepreneurs in the future. Those supported and successful teams are required to reward the Seed Fund, in a bid to “pay it forward” and practice the spirit of “stay grateful.”
