Good Helper For Studying Abroad

發佈日期: 作者: CharlotteW 分類: News

According to the Ministry of Education, there are around 40,000 students studying abroad in 2019. To compare with that in 2015, the number has increased 8% in these 5 years. Traveling alone overseas itself is not easy let alone studying in a foreign country for a period of time. WillStudy has an insight into some of the problems we might encounter when applying for schools and after studying abroad. Today, WillStudy has successfully helped 2000+ students with the title of the best startup by U-Start, Ministry of Education in 2019.

Good Helper For Studying Abroad

Bill, the founder of WillStudy, found that the information is inadequate for Taiwan students when they prepare for applying to study abroad. Difficulties might be encountered both before and during application preparation, and the services of consultants are unable to meet the specific needs of each student. They anticipate that they could share what they have and what they experienced. Hence, they established WillStudy in 2019, committed to create a domestic study abroad ecosystem. It provides information integration before going abroad, resource matching in preparation, and assistance in arriving in the country you study abroad. WillStudy look forward to becoming a platform which can allow Taiwanese students to get more contact and information to study abroad. 

The Experiences of Predecessors

The official website of WillStudy contains different types of columns, including life of studying abroad, sharing of people with experience abroad, interviews with overseas career figures, and travel selections, the content of each article can bring great help to students planning to go abroad. In addition, WillStudy established one-on-one alumni consultation platform for studying abroad, which includes more than 280+ consultants, students can consult for different discipline clusters, degrees, and industries. With personal experience of specially assigned person, they can much deeply realize how to prepare and what to encounter when they study abroad. 

Talents Are Studying Abroad

In this era, the ways of apply for schools overseas have changed drastically. Instead of facing consultants in an agency, WillStudy has opened our eyes with the new method of online consulting and other self-help access to another dimension of studying abroad. STARTBOARD, also known as a company that helps companies expand their business overseas, is very glad to see more Taiwanese talents going abroad. STARTBOARD definitely has foreseen a bright future with the trend of studying abroad.

The Rise of Alternative Travel

While it is relatively harder to travel domestically during the pandemic, some startup companies have come up with the solution for us to enjoy traveling even more than before. At meet Taipei 2022, TT trips (橘子貓) and JaFun showed us how to travel at ease and even have an access to the latest international goods by just clicking on your computers. 

Customized Your Trip With Chartered Tour Service In Taiwan and Southeast Asian Countries

Established in 2016, TT trips started as a chartered tour company, and today branching out to other services including sailing, hiking and yoga classes. TT trips provides customized services for family trips, company trips or friend groups, allowing travelers to tour in their unique ways. Moreover, one of the main obstacles when traveling internationally- transportation now can be taken care of by TT trips. The chartered car service is also available in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Japan. 

Alternative Yoga Classes In The Mountains

In order to relax more thoroughly, those yoga classes aren’t indoor in aerobics classroom as we are used to, instead, they are in the mountains. Besides yoga classes, the trip provides several dishes, a night in the mountains, night sky viewing and endless chatting with friends. 

Japanese Snacks Online Shopping

JaFun, an online website in cooperation with Japanese business groups, allows us to shop Japanese snacks within just a second. According to the Tourism Bureau of Japan, Taiwanese tourists consume goods of 56.4 billion NTD and 4.7 billion of which are shopped online. This leads to the establishment of JaFun. JaFun has an online platform that customers can shop on, apply for tax-free procedure and  shipping service to airports or hotels. The website provides information such as the best-selling goods, KOL recommendations and what’s hot in Japan. 

 In Cooperation With Other Online Travel Platform

Due to the pandemic, more and more online travel agencies are eager to expand their business by working with JaFun. To be more specific, Internet of Things(IOT), biometrics and online payment are some key factors in terms of making profit for online travel agencies. And JaFun has proficiency and experience in making those modern technology happen.

The Rise of Alternative Travel

Since 2022/6/10, Japan has opened their border. The country rated Taiwan as blue which refers to low risk of COVID and that Taiwanese tourists don’t need to go through PCR test nor quarantine. This news caught STARTBOARD’s attention and it is promising to see some progress in terms of international travel and shopping. Although the need for international flights has shrunken 48% in the past few years, STARTBOARD still see the potential in domestic traveling in Taiwan. Therefore, STARTBOARD is confident in supporting travel related startups despite the situation of this global pandemic. 

How STARTBOARD achieves to bridge the talents between Southeast Asia and Taiwan: interview with the founder of STARTBOARD Uniform Lin

發佈日期: 作者: CharlotteW 分類: News

Graduated from electro-optical engineering, Uniform Lin, however, wasn’t a fan of becoming an engineer. He was perplexed about his future but also ambitious to somehow transform Taiwan. Luckily, Lin met professor Chun-Shan Chen, who was the Chair of Graduate Institute of Intellectual Property at Taipei Tech. At the time, Chen was planning to set up an association to assist Taiwanese manufacturers in becoming global brand enterprises.

This idea undoubtedly matched Lin’s aim, so he decided to join the project. Chen said to him,“Let’s change Taiwan bit by bit.” Thus, Global Brands Management Association (GBMA) was established in 2014.

STARTBOARD hired foreign students as their brand ambassadors.

Looking into what a company needs for transformation was a part of Lin’s job, and he found that companies have to understand the local culture, industrial ecosystem, consumption habits, and sometimes the language of another country in order to go abroad. That is, someone who is familiar with the country, or even better, from the country, is a must for the company.

The potential of Southeast Asian students in Taiwan

Lin then discovered the solution lies in a fact that has long been underestimated – there are a great number of Southeast Asian students in Taiwan. If these foreign talents are able to work at those Taiwanese companies during their stay, there’d be a great opportunity for them to help the company to expand to their home countries.

Uniform Lin, the founder and CEO of STARTBOARD

Accordingly, the project Global Young Leaders for Global Markets and CSR (GGC) was launched and executed by Lin at the end of 2014 to help foreign students, especially students from Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) and Indian, to find internships and jobs in Taiwan. It was successfully joined by more than 10 top universities, enterprises such as MediaTek and PwC, and hundreds of foreign students each year.

During his years at GBMA, Lin has met people around the world and developed his own connections.“I followed professor Chen to visit a lot of big shots. I learned a lot and was grateful for having the chance to participate in those meetings,”said Lin. Yet, the professor encouraged Lin to leave GBMA to explore something different. Thus, Lin went to work at one of the largest and most respected law firms, Formosa Transnational, and became a graduate student of Graduate Institute of Intellectual Property at Taipei Tech in order to acquire further knowledge.

What push foreign talents to leave when they actually want to stay in Taiwan

Meanwhile, an Indian friend of Lin’s finished his Ph.D in computer science at National Chiao Tung University with a full scholarship for six years, and he wanted to start his own business in Taiwan. He came to Lin and asked for help as he was facing various obstacles to set up a company in Taiwan as a foreigner.

Unfortunately, Lin didn’t have enough experience and resources to solve his problem at the time.“The law regarding foreign entrepreneurs wasn’t mature enough at the time,”explained Lin. Thus, even though his Indian friend wanted to stay and founded a company here, he still left.“Taiwan spent years cultivating a professional, however, we lost him in the end.”

Lin noticed that his Indian friend wasn’t the only case. In fact, a lot of Southeast Asian students have been facing the same situation. Therefore, in 2017, combined with the experience Lin has gained at GBMA and his background in law, STARTBOARD was born to help flourish Taiwan’s talents pool.

Talents from Indian and Thai are getting ready to set up their own company with the help of STARTBOARD.

From an incubator to the professional of Southeast Asian-related business

From industry mentors and partners, government resources, networking events to legal consulting and counseling, STARTBOARD is committed to providing a one-stop service for people from ASEAN and India that are interested in establishing companies in Taiwan. In addition, due to the approval of the National Development Council and Immigration agency, STARTBOARD is able to endorse foreign entrepreneurs for their visa.

Furthermore, Lin didn’t forget his ideal and strength of assisting Taiwanese companies to go abroad as he did at GBMA. For example, many banks are planning to open branches in Southeast Asia, so they came to STARTBOARD in search of Southeast Asian graduates in Taiwan.

Besides, since working at companies with the registered capital under five million doesn’t meet the requirement of applying for the working visa, small-scale companies can contract to STARTBOARD to hire foreign students as employees.

Yet, not only small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), STARTBOARD also provided service for one of the world’s top 100 companies. By organizing an entrepreneur competition in India, STARTBOARD helped the enterprise to explore local talents as they planned to set up their own brand there.

STARTBOARD earn its endorsement from global representatives through trust

With the connections Lin has been building since working at GBMA and his sincere care for foriegn students and talents, he and his team showed the companies and even embassies from ASEAN and India that STARTBOARD is a trustworthy bridge for deeper partnership between the countries.

STARTBOARD

Mr. Budi Santoso, Representative of the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office to Taipei, attended STARTBOARD’s Indonesia Theme Night.

STARTBOARD was the only company invited when the Thailand Trade and Economic Office in Taipei held an event, and STARTBOARD has already set up their first oversea branch office in Thailand. In addition, the Representative of Indonesian Economic and Trade Office even attended STARTBOARD’s networking event and offered assistance to Taiwanese manufacturers regarding exporting issues.“It is all built on trust,”said Lin.

The close Southeast Asian community built by STARTBOARD makes itself the largest Southeast Asia startup incubator in Taiwan. However, carrying the mission of blending Taiwan into the international community, Lin hopes STARTBOARD can not only be the first brand of incubator in Southeast Asia, but also play a crucial role as Taiwan’s non-government diplomatic agency.
